Frequently asked questions
Is it heavy on presidents?
Presidents are a substantial chunk (they're the easy structuring device) but legislation, social movements and military history all appear.
Modern politics?
The pack stays factual — recent administrations appear but the questions are about what happened, not opinion.
For non-US players?
Plenty is recognisable internationally (World Wars, Cold War, civil rights, JFK) — multiple choice keeps the rest accessible.
How many players?
Up to six per room.
