Hedbanz Game

Product Information

To play without a timer, limit the number of questions each player can ask other players. If they cannot guess the card within that number of questions, their turn ends. Participants should have three chips each as well to start with. Players place these chips in the ‘bank’ when they identify a card. Who Can Play It: Suitable for everyone 7 and older. Vary the topics depending on who’s playing to adjust the difficulty.

At any point during your turn, you can give up trying to guess. If you do, you must collect one chip from the bank and are dealt a new card for the next round.
