The Strategic Boardgame - Kickstarter Edition

My best pal and I love trivia games. Played it for the first time last week. This one is really well done and good even if you are not especially fond of trivia games. You can play with just two players--or teams. You could actually play it as a solitaire game too. Just cover the answer on card with thumb. Easy to learn, easy to play. The questions are multiple choice, so even if you don't know the answer you have a 25% chance of getting it right. The quality of the tiles (plastic not cardboard), velvet storage bag is great. And portable. I bought the Prodigy extension box to play with grandkids at Christmas. My pal has already bought the two music extension packs. He told a work friend about Hexaquest; she bought the game as well. You can "make it your own". E.g. if you can answer the question without getting the multiple choice answers you earn extra points. There is also some strategy involved. Very pleased. My only concern as will all trivia games, you eventually run out of questions.

This game was fantastic - did not disappoint. It is different from other trivia games because you can pick what categories you get to answer from a few options. There is also mystery because some of the chips are up and some are down so you can play it safe with the smaller points or risk it for the higher points not knowing the category. 10/10 will be my go to Xmas gift this yearYou can also get expansion packs from the company. I’ll be grabbing a few once they are available 🥰

First off, the look and feel of the tiles for this game is great. I thought they would be cardboard or something, but they're infact a very thick, smooth plastic or resin material. They're nice to handle, slide fairly easily on a felt table. The questions we've gotten range from "Well everyone knows that" to "I've never even heard of that country before", so there's a good mix for people who know a lot about a specific subject to feel challenged. Also got the Gamer expansion with this, and look forward to more expansions in the future.

What makes the Hexaquest Game much better than Trivial Pursuit is due to the structure of the game. Yes, they both have there own categories, but with Hexaquest you can choose the strength of the category (Easy to Hard) or the choice of content. Hexaquest also provides opportunities as to which answer is correct! When I played Trivial Pursuit, for some unexplained reason, I wasn't able to successfully answer over 70% of the questions and the game was called Trivial! The Hexaquest Game is for EVERYONE, regardless of age. For me, the game has merit and emphasizes the choices that each player can choose to make. I even think that Hexaquest would make a fantastic game show. Think about it!!!!

I think it’s a good trivia game and goes beyond the standard formula. That being said there are some strange decisions in the card set where a high value question will be unreasonably easy and a low value question will be very niche. It also is a bit pricey for what it is
