How To Play
-
1

2
PICK A CATEGORY &
TEST YOUR WITSPlay begins with the youngest player — after all, they haven’t experienced as much history firsthand as the rest of the players, so they’ll need all the help they can get!
Select a Question Card from any one of the 5 cards available on the board. The player to their left will read the question that correlates with the Selection Card letter out loud.

3
Collect All Five &
Win the GameIf the player answers correctly, they collect the card. If they answer incorrectly, that Question Card is placed in the discard pile. The current player then replaces the Question Card they answered with a NEW Question Card from any of the 5 categories.
The first player or team to score 1 card in each of the 5 categories WINS!
BUT WAIT! THE GREATEST GAMES
ALWAYS COME WITH A TWIST…
Strategy (or knowing your rival’s HISTORY kryptonite) is the name of the game! Opponents can attempt to block each other from obtaining specific categories by replacing their answered question card with a category card their competition has already scored a point in.
However, there is another way to win a category if faced against a strong defense. Every 3 cards from the same category can equal 1 WILD card for any of the categories a player or team still needs to acquire.
So, fill the board with your competitor’s little-known roadblocks or send your competition down the scenic route to victory by selecting cards from their previously conquered categories. Whichever method you choose and how much (or little) you know about any given category – HISTORY can be anyone’s game!
