The 40th Birthday Game is a light-hearted trivia game that adds a healthy dollop of fun to any 40th birthday.
Created solely for this landmark occasion, the special edition game has a traditional question-and-answer format. The professionally written and absorbing questions are designed to intrigue, surprise and amuse. All the questions are on the theme of forty, making it wholly suitable for the big occasion.
Players form two teams which take turns to answer questions.
Correct answers win cards, and the first team to win 7 cards wins.
If a team answers a question correctly, they can choose to "stick" (which ends their turn) or "play on". If they play on and get the next question incorrect, they lose all cards they've won on the current turn (i.e. the penalty for not sticking). Ending your turn with a "stick" means you keep your cards, and will not be able to lose them on a future turn.
