Question 1

How many people can play Perudo?

Accepted Answer

Two to six players. Each player has a cup and five dice, so a full set for six players has 30 dice.

Question 2

Is Perudo luck or skill?

Accepted Answer

Both. The roll is luck, but deciding when to bluff, when to raise and when to call Dudo is skill, and reading the other players matters most.

Question 3

What does Dudo mean?

Accepted Answer

Dudo is Spanish for “I doubt”. You call it on your turn to challenge the previous bid and make everyone reveal their dice.

Question 4

What is Palifico?

Accepted Answer

Palifico is a special round that starts when a player is down to one die. Ones are not wild in that round and the starting player's chosen face cannot be changed, so players can only raise the quantity.

Question 5

How many people can play Pictionary?

Accepted Answer

The box is for two teams. Mattel's rules suggest that larger teams make for a quicker, livelier game.

Question 6

Is Pictionary luck or skill?

Accepted Answer

Mostly teamwork and quick thinking, with a little luck in the words you draw.

Question 7

Can the person drawing talk?

Accepted Answer

No. The Picturist cannot speak or use letters or numbers, so only the sketch can give clues.

Question 8

What happens if the team does not guess in time?

Accepted Answer

The turn passes to the other team.

Question 9

How many people can play RISK?

Accepted Answer

Two to six players. Hasbro's rules also cover a two-player variation.

Is RISK luck or skill?

Accepted Answer

Both. Dice decide each fight, but planning, timing and diplomacy decide who wins over a whole game.

Question 11

How long does a game of RISK take?

Accepted Answer

Full games can run for hours. Hasbro's rules also include a shorter variation if you are short of time.

Question 13

Three or four tiles of the same number, each in a different colour.

Question 16

What is a run?

Question 17

How many people can play Sequence?

Accepted Answer

Two to twelve people when played in teams. With teams, the players must divide evenly into two or three teams.

Question 18

Is Sequence luck or skill?

Accepted Answer

Both. The cards you draw are luck, but choosing where to play, when to block and when to use a Jack is skill.

What does a one-eyed Jack do?

Accepted Answer

It lets you remove one of an opponent's chips from the board, unless that chip is already part of a completed Sequence.

Question 20

Can I use the corners?

Yes. The four corners are free spaces that count for everyone, so you only need four of your own chips to complete a Sequence using a corner.

Question 21

How many people can play The 1% Club board game?

Accepted Answer

Three to six players, according to the publisher.

Question 22

Do I need to have seen the show?

Accepted Answer

No. The questions test logic and common sense rather than TV knowledge, and reviewers say you do not need to be a fan.

Question 23

Logic and reasoning questions rather than obscure trivia. They get harder as you go, and the hardest is meant to be one that only 1% of people can answer.

If another player catches you before you have said it, you have to draw penalty cards.

One or more. Everyone takes turns with the same five dice and fills in their own score pad. It also works as a solo game for beating your own best score.

Question 54

A bit of both. The dice decide what you roll, but choosing which dice to keep and which box to fill is where games are won and lost.

Five dice showing the same number, scored in the Yahtzee box for 50 points. It is the rarest combination to roll, which is where the game gets its name.
