Avalon Hill, Facts in Five Bookshelf Game 1976

Facts in Five: The Game of Knowledge is a game for two or more players, designed in 1964 by Rick Onanian and originally published in 1964. In 1967, Facts in Five was acquired by the 3M Company for its bookshelf game series. In 1976, 3M divested its game business to Avalon Hill of Baltimore, which published Facts in Five until 1998.

Each game set includes a number of cards, each containing one or more Class; within each Class may be one or more Category. The game also includes tiles, one for each letter of the alphabet, a five-minute sand timer, and scorecards.

A round of the game begins with players taking turns drawing cards and selecting a Category (or a Class, on certain cards). Five Categories are selected this way. Next, players draw five letter tiles in turn, and the timer is started. Before the timer runs out, players must write down at most one entry for each category/beginning-letter pair (thus, a maximum of 25 answers). Five rounds make up plete game, with scoring based on the number of valid answers given.

This game is the 1976 Avalon Hill edition. The game box has some wear and creasing. It is taped on two corners. The contents plete and excellent.

You can pick up this game in Porters Lake.
