Do I need wine to play?
Playing with other beverages
This game is designed specifically with wine in mind. The terminology describes wine and the various smells, tastes and feel you get whilst drinking it.
How much wine is needed?
To really test your tastebuds we recommend playing with 3 different varieties of wine. However, if you only have 1 bottle at your disposal, this is a good starting point. You can start playing as long as everyone gets to taste the same wine.
The non-alcoholic version.
You can play with non-alcoholic wines, as long as everyone is drinking the same wine.
Can I play with more than 6 people?
Yes. Although the game is recommended for 2-6 playings you can play with up to 10 players. However, you may need to adjust how many cards each player is dealt and reduce the amount of points to be won.
My cards don't match the wine
You won’t always have the perfect descriptive card in your hand. This is a good time to play a funny answer or throw out a difficult card so you can pick up a new card.
Who chooses the best answer?
Ideally the Wine Master gets to choose the best answer. Everyone gets a turn at being the Wine Master so everyone gets the chance to choose their favourite answer. Remember to play to the Wine Masters taste, if you’re playing to win.
The Vote
Instead of having one person choose the best answer, have everyone at the table vote on the best. This gets everyone involved, but be warned it may come with some friendly arguments.
Does the Wine Master play?
Everyone takes it in turns to be the Wine Master. The Wine Masters job is to read the purple card aloud to the other players.
When you are the Wine Master, you do not contribute a red card. This way, you are not choosing your own card as the winner each time!
Where Can I Find the Rules?
If you were lucky enough to purchase one of the first prints of the game you will notice we didn't supply any printed game rules. Mainly because everyone has their own favorite way of quizzing each other. But, also because you can find them on our website here: https://tasteitgames.com/pages/more-ways-to-play.
Save paper :)
How Many Cards Are There?
You'll find 150 different trivia question cards in the box. Each card is either multiple choice or True or False.
The answers are on the back in small print, upside down. (Put your thumb over it if you don't want a spoiler.)

How is Trivia a Game?

Points are awarded for each correctly answered question, and the player with the most points at the end wins. This setup encourages friendly competition among family and friends to test and expand wine knowledge.
