    Description

    Geni (Genius) is a classic trivia game in Norway. Since its original release in 1986, the game has been re-released about every three years, and has also been remade in different themes.

    The current rules have been fixed since the second edition (1993), and the game consits of three stages:

    1st stage: Answer (at least) one question from each category correctly
    2nd stage: Answer two questions from two categories dictated by the board (depending on which route you choose to the center)
    3rd stage: Answer one question from a category decided by the player to the left

    The first player to complete the last stage wins.

    • 1986 (528 cards with 3168 questions): Had different 2nd and 3rd stages. (The last stage was answering three questions correctly IN SUCCESSION)
