What do the Special Cards mean?
“Bonus” Cards (black colored cards) are assigned variable points set by the Players, making them exceptionally valuable.
Prior to the question being read, the Player who will answer the trivia question must come up with the points they wish to possibly earn. The Player gets two attempts to answer the Bonus Card trivia question.
----> If the Player is unable to answer the Bonus Card trivia question or answers incorrectly, they will lose the points they assigned to themselves.
To avoid extreme point assignment, all players must agree upon point limit (e.g., prior to beginning of game, Players agree that Bonus Card trivia question points may not exceed 50 points).
