Ingeniørspillet

"The player who most closely resembles Albert Einstein starts the game"

OVERVIEW: A quiz game for engineers, with questions related to exact sciences only. Therefore, this is NOT a trivia game per se. The questions on the cards are designed to please both engineers, science fans and technology enthusiasts. According to Bård Gamnes, one of the designers, the difficulty of questions are meant for "those who are about to start with their higher education".

The questions on the cards are divided into six different terms:

 Power and Forces
 Chemistry and Biology
 Computers and Gadgets
 Experiments and Explosions
 Numbers
 Engineer Mix

GAME: After each player or team has placed their token in the middle and thus "outside" the primary playing area (much as in Pachisi), the players take turns rolling the die and moving their token onto the orbital game area, starting on one of the six rhombic fields of choice. Now and on each following turn every player may choose which way he wants to move his token on the orbital playing area. Each field the player stops on, except one that gives the player allowance to re-roll the die, is linked to a category, which another player asks him by reading from the top card from the question-card deck.

There are six fields that are obligatory to visit to collect point cards, one for each category. After that the player must try to stop on of the six rhombus shaped areas to access the middle area again, where they started. Now the player is challenged in two different and randomly chosen categories, and he needs to answer correct on both two win.

The game is for 2 - 4 teams or players.
