Quick overview

1

Set up the trivia and bonus cards

Separate and stack the trivia cards into five decks for each generation, colorful side facing up. Put the bonus cards next to the generation decks.

2

Play single players or teams of any size

Divide up however you’d like. Keep in mind that more generations on your team means fewer bonus cards for going outside your generation. More on this later.

3

First team picks a card to answer

The team with the oldest player starts. When selecting a generation card, be strategic and consider the generation, difficulty, and category of the top trivia card on each deck.

4

Trivia captain reads the question

The trivia captain is a player on an opposing team who reads the question and hint (if requested) aloud. They also judge whether the question was answered correctly. The trivia captain should rotate along with the gameplay.

5

Team answers question or asks for a hint

Lock in your guess by saying “final answer.” Keep deliberations under 60 seconds.

6

Keeping track of the score

The first team to earn 20 cards, including one from each generation, WINS! Keep track of the score by holding on to trivia cards answered correctly. Earn up to two bonus cards each turn. One for correctly answering a question outside your generation and one for correctly answering without a hint. After the first turn, gameplay moves clockwise to the next team.

Examples: When playing single player, if a Baby Boomer correctly answers a Gen Z question without a hint, she earns 3 cards for the round.

Or, if a team of Millennials & Gen Xers correctly answers a Millennial question with the help of a hint, they earn 1 card for the round.
