Description

Smart10 is a quiz game where a player doesn't need to wait for one's turn for long.
There are ten possible answers to each question, and every player gets to answer every question.
If the answer is correct, the player gets an answer marker.
But should you answer or pass?
If you don't score your answer markers on time (and thereby pass on this round), you can end up losing them.
So if you are not 100% certain of an answer - do you gamble or do you pass?
Plays great in teams.
