Tension board game

Tension is a timed trivia game for two teams, in which players must name ten answers to a given topic within one minute. Each card shows a topic on both sides with ten possible answers, so the 200 question cards keep the game varied over many rounds.

Teams take turns: one team shouts out its answers while the other team's captain marks the correct ones on the scoring tool and moves the pieces across the board. Whirlpool spaces double a team's progress, while question mark spaces require the team to guess in advance how many answers it will get right. The hourglass keeps the pressure on.

Suitable for ages 8 and up, the game works well for family evenings and party groups. The box contains 200 question cards, a scoring tool, a game board, an hourglass, two pawns and a rulebook.
