Shuffle the question cards so that the point values and question content vary randomly. Make sure each team receives questions of equal point value over the course of a game.

Designate one person on each team to ask the questions. Set a time limit for the questions to be answered. If the first team gets a question right, they earn points. If not, the question moves on to the next team. Question askers should rotate each round until everyone has asked a question. Then, the rotation starts again.

Tips & Warnings
To make this party fun, try to get at least 10 people to play. If you have an odd number, make one person the full-time question asker.
As the host, it's your duty to provide snacks and drinks. You can also ask players to bring their own to share.
