Origin

Part trivia, part poker, Origin pits buffs against bluffs in a game where collusion and charisma trample the truth for personal benefit. It's been said that if you can master this game, you can run a country. Not an important country, but still... nice to know.

The cards represent historical events, and the object is to win other players' cards by proving your event occurred closest to the date of the judge's event. Of course, since you'll rarely have the right card, the game isn’t about what you’ve got -- it's about what other players think you’ve got. Make it convincing.
