From Quiz "Wordle" Me This!

Answer: Midnight

According to "GAMINGINTEL", "Wordle" used to reset once a day at the exact same time for everyone worldwide, irregardless of time zone. It now officially resets at midnight in whatever time zone the player happens to be occupying at the time. While some fans are frustrated by this once-a-day play plan, the creator of the game, Josh Wardle, has stated that he believes playing only once a day for about three minutes, leaves the players wanting more - which is a good thing!

From Quiz The International Phenomenon that is Wordle

Answer: His partner

The game was based on an old pencil and paper game, Jotto, and an American game show, Lingo. Wardle made the first version of the game in 2013 and used a variation of his name for it. He revived the idea in January 2021 as a game that he and his partner, Palak Shah, could play together. He shared it with his family, and posted a link on his website in October. In November the number of players rose from ninety to over two million.

From Quiz Family Game Night

Answer: With a spinner

Each player has a tree on the board, studded with little holes to accommodate plastic fruit. You spin the spinner to find out what happens on your turn. Maybe you can pick between 1 and 4 fruits and put them into your basket; maybe an animal steals some fruit; or maybe you accidentally tip over your basket and lose it all! (Lost fruit goes back on the tree. Don't think about it too hard.) This luck-based game is a great way to start teaching small kids about board games: taking turns, following instructions, and learning to accept the occasional upended basket.

From Quiz Game Night

Answer: Cobra Paw

Although it's called "Cobra Paw", this game has a ninja cat theme, even featuring cat-related humor in the instructions. Cobra Paw, which is fun for the whole family, has its own mythology. It tells the story of an ancient stone-snatching game called Clawfuku, invented by the mysterious Phee Lion. Phee Lion's paws were so fast that when he snatched a stone a destructive wind would wreak havoc on the land. Eventually he was defeated by Master Meow, a wandering ninja cat who had perfected the better "Cobra Paw" technique. Cobra Paw tournaments are held to honour the legacy of Master Meow and try to rediscover his Cobra Paw technique. The tiles are each decorated with a unique pair of "ancient" Japanese style symbols, with matching symbols on the dice. After they are rolled, everyone tries to snatch the tile matching the two symbols shown on the dice. Players are encouraged to respect their opponents and to use ninja-like accuracy to grab stones using one hand, or in this case "paw".

From Quiz Mastering mölkky?

Answer: a wood pin similiar to the target skittles

The mölkky is a cylindrical piece of wood slightly longer than the target skittles. It can still roll on its side but obviously it is handled quite a bit differently than a bowling ball. The 12 skittles are arranged in a tight formation, like a pyramid, with the corners removed. The skittle numbers are arranged as shown in the crude (top view) diagram below. The player taking their turn stands in a designated throwing box (indicated below by the *) some 3-4 meters (10-12 feet) away and centered between the 1 and 2 skittles at the start (the throwing position does not move as the skittle formation warps and breaks throughout the game). ------7 8 9 --5 11 12 6 -----3 10 4 -------1 2 --------*

MONOPOLY has been printed in more than 37 languages. It was originally designed in 1803 by Elizabeth Phillips who named it "The Landlord's Game".

From Quiz Ahead of the Game

Answer: Aunt Sally

There are several theories as to how the game got its name, but the aim is the same in each, to knock the head over. In the original game, wooden batons were likely to be used as the weapon that was thrown, but my granny used to bundle up several pairs of old socks (which she had originally knitted!) and sew them into a ball to use instead. It was probably safer that way!

From Quiz Board, Card and Dice Games

Answer: Perudo

"Perudo" is the name I used to call it, although it also goes by "Dudo" (Spanish for "I doubt"), "Cacho" or "Dadinho". In the game, people each have their own concealed set of dice and make bids, guessing how many dice of a certain type there are in total (e.g. "four threes" means "there are at least four dice showing the number three"). The round continues with bids increasing until someone calls the previous player by shouting "Perudo". If the player who calls is right, the one who bid incorrectly loses a die; if the bidder was right, the person who called incorrectly loses a die. Play continues until only one player has any dice left.

From Quiz Baby's First Bungee

Answer: Rattle

Infant rattles are small toys with bells, beans, pebbles, or even sand inside. Baby curls fingers around the handle and can track with eyes and ears while learning to produce the noise with the hand. Native Americans made rattles out of rawhide, Paul Revere designed them in silver, and Tiffany & Co. made sterling-silver rattles. Rattles are also part of Greek mythology. Often made of cloth, wood or plastic, taking the shapes of birds, animals or shells, rattles teach baby eye-hand coordination, and stimulate the brain. Adults like rattles too--they are said to be the only instrument found in every society across the world. Rattles make great music, and many societies believe they create a link between humans and the divine.

"Risk" was designed by French film director Albert Lamorisse. The game is played on a board depicting the world divided into 42 territories.

From Quiz It's in the Cards

Answer: The Bicycle Playing Card

The Bicycle Playing Card Company originated in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Bicycle playing cards are manufactured by the US Playing Card Company. Most of us who play card games are familiar with the distinctive designs on the back of their cards. The backs of the cards are usually red or blue and always have a bicycle design on them. The bicycle was chosen as a logo because bicycles were very popular in the late 1800's. Some special editions, or collectors' items can have different designs. You may also submit your own design or personal photographs to be placed on the card backs.

From Quiz Fifteen Minutes of Fun

Answer: Boggle

In the game of Boggle, invented by Allan Turoff, 16 letter cubes are shaken and allowed to fall back into place, however they may fall. Players (at least two players are needed, though one person could play alone for practice) then have three minutes to form as many words as they can out of adjacent letter cubes. Words need to be at least three letters long, and you get more points for longer words. Points are scored if you find a legitimate word that no other player did.

From Quiz Just Play the Game Already!

Answer: Elastics

In this game you need a long length of elastic and at least three people. Two people start by holding the elastic into a rectangle shape around their ankles. The other person then has to jump into and over the cords in a certain order, and then jump out again. Once a sequence is successfully completed, the elastic goes from the ankles to the knees and you start over. When I was at school, there was one girl who could do "necksies", but she was taller than everyone else, so in a way she had the advantage. A lot of people remember having rhymes to go with the jumping sequences, but the murky crevices of my mind can't remember if we had any at all.
