Setup

  • Shuffle the cards and then place 8 in a facedown pile on the table. Put the remaining cards back in the box. They won't be used during this game.
  • Give each player an Arrow and a marker in the matching color. Each player writes their name on the Arrow, pointing up. The other side (blank) is called the Answer side.
  • Choose a player who takes the Star in front of them; they are the first player.

Gameplay Overview

The game plays over 8 turns, each one with three phases:

  1. Answer
  2. Place
  3. Reveal

Answer

The first player draws a card and reads the question out loud.

Then all players write, simultaneously and secretly, their own answer on the Answer side of their Arrow. You must always write a number, sometimes followed by a unit (second, feet, year, etc.). Some cards require an answer between 0 (the least) and 100 (the most), as indicated in their lower-right corner.

During this phase, you cannot share any information about your answer with other players.

Important: If the card is not applicable to your group, feel free to set it aside and draw a new card from the box.

Place

The first player places their Arrow in the middle of the table, Answer side down.

Then, starting with the player to their left and going clockwise, each player places their Arrow in relation to the other players' Arrows, still Answer side down. To decide where to place your Arrow, you must predict the other answers and where yours falls in line.

You can therefore place your Arrow:

  • Above if you think your answer is the highest.
  • Below if you think your answer is the lowest.
  • Between two Arrows if you think your answer falls between two players.

During this phase, you cannot share any information about your answer with other players.

After all players have placed their Arrows, the first player can move their own and only their own, if they want to.

Then continue to the "Reveal" phase.

Reveal

Flip over all the Arrows one by one, starting with the lowest, to reveal everyone's answers.

Then remove any Arrows that were placed incorrectly to make an increasing line, from the lowest to highest number (ties are always considered correctly placed, see example below). If there are multiple possibilities, choose which Arrows to remove.

Gain 1 point per correctly placed Arrow, then the first player writes the score on the Star. For all following turns, add your score to the one from the previous turn.

Finally, the first player gives the Star to the player to their left. This player now becomes the first player and a new turn begins.

Example: In a 5-player game, reveal 5 Arrows. The 30 Arrow or 50 Arrow is incorrectly placed, so you remove one of them from the line. Now you have an increasing line of 4 Arrows, from 20 to 60. You gain 4 points for this turn.

End of the Game

The game ends after you've played through 8 cards.

Add your final score to the Record of Legends and compare it with the table below to find out how well you know your teammates!
