Abstract
A game in which all teams participate actively in the game during each turn of the game. No teams are forced to stay idle during a turn. Before a team having a turn answers a question printed on a drawn question card, this team has to bet that the team can answer the question correctly. The other teams may bet on whether the answer to be given will be the correct answer or not. In this way all teams are engaged in the game at all time.
