Geek Out!

Game description from the publisher:

Geek Out! is a party game that can determine once and for all which player is the most knowledgeable about your favorite pop culture subjects!

In the game, you draw cards asking you to list a certain number of things which fall under a certain category: comic books, fantasy, games, science fiction, and miscellaneous. Before you begin, however, the other players may try to steal your points (and bragging rights!) by bidding to list even more than the card requires. The bidding continues until one player is ready to "out-geek" their friends. Collect a predetermined number of cards, and you win!

Perfect 10

The Perfect Ten is a knock-down, drag-out battle of wits where two teams race to score a perfect ten correct answers in ten different categories. The categories are Geography, Sports, Science, History, Quotes, Music, Literature, Nature, Arts, and Movies. Each question has four possible answers, and teammates must work together to pick the best answer for each question. Once teams finish answering their ten questions, they flip over the 3-D game board and score the other team's answers. Now here's where it gets tricky – you'll find out how many answers you got right, but not which answers you got right. During the next round, you might change answers that were already right, and leave answers alone that were wrong! Counting to 10 was never this hard! Teams will continue playing each round until one team scores The Perfect Ten. This game requires trivia smarts, teamwork, strategy and a little luck! Game comes with 50 question strips, 2 pillars, 2 frames, 1 magnetic game board, 1 scoring platform, 1 plastic question holder, 2 plastic stoppers, 2 moving pegs, 20 yellow scoring magnets, 60 blue colored magnets, 60 white colored magnets, 60 purple colored magnets, 60 green colored magnets, and game instructions. For 2 - 6 players, Ages 12 and up

Oodles

Oodles is made up of three main items... a nifty ticking electronic timer that stops when you hold the button down and starts up again when you let go of it, an extraneous plastic Oodle stick (a large "start player" marker), and a deck of Oodle cards.

Each card has 10 questions on it, plus a "Silly Starter." The "silly" question is asked to the player currently holding the Oodle stick and if he/she answers correctly, they begin answering the questions on the card (each answer begins with the same letter). You are allowed only one guess... so if you're wrong, the moderator calls an "all play" and reads the question again. The first player to guess correctly wins the right to keep answering questions on the card - in case of ties, the tied players both take a shot at the next question. The player who answers the last question correctly gets the card... and five cards wins the game. (If the moderator is passing from person to person, if no one gets the last question, the moderator gets the card.)
