Details

A quest for knowledge. The game takes players to the key eras of our history (Mythology, Hellenism and Rome, Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque, Enlightenment and 19th and 20th centuries). The game is inspired by the philosophy bestseller of Jostein Gaarder and the aim of the game is to gain wisdom in an engaging way. The game consists of a journey on paths, divided into squares, on a circle board. The goal is to visit historical eras (which lie on the edge of the board) in humanity's development to collect degrees in wisdom. This can be accomplished by answering history questions from these eras, or by answering philosophical questions when the player lands on a philosopher space. There are also "big questions", which do not necessarily have answers, but where the player is expected to express his own opinion (eg "Should we respect the elderly?"). Anyone who has a solid philosophical background and / or is extremely fascinated by the major issues in our lives, will learn a lot with this game.
