Smart Ass
You must guess the identity of a person, place, or thing in Smart Ass. Each card contains a list of descriptive statements that are arranged in descending order from obscure to obvious. The person who shouts out the correct answer first gets to move around the board, and the person who gets to the end first wins. The ability to shout out the answer keeps everyone involved each turn, and the cards are simple enough for players of all ages and abilities. There's also a travel-size version of the game that functions as an expansion pack once you've answered all of the cards in the base game.
One of the most appealing aspects of trivia games, particularly for parents and families, is that they can be a fun way to learn new things. Smart Ass is great for teaching you and your loved ones new things, with topics ranging from geography and history to literature and pop culture. There are plenty of categories to appeal to everyone's hobbies and interests, and you're sure to learn a lot even if you don't win.
