#Dragon battle quiz full#

Over an hour, even, and I wouldn't want to be standing in an arcade playing Quiz & Dragons for a full hour. My only major gripe is that, especially if you're unlucky with your dice rolls or the questions that come up, it can take a long time to get through a game. The presentation is nice, it's simple enough with a few little extras to keep it from being too basic and the questions strike a decent balance as long as you're old enough to know what they're talking about.

I must admit, Quiz & Dragons is pretty good fun, especially when played with friends who will shout out conflicting answers and call you a moron for not knowing that the nickname of New Mexico is 'The Land of Enchantment.' There's even a two-player mode, where the player who stumbles upon the right answer first gets more points. In the end, none of this mattered because I already had full health. If all the questions about American sports had been replaced with soccer questions, my final percentage of correct answers would have almost certainly been about 80% instead of the 65% or so it turned out to be. I know it's easy to put sports questions into any quiz, because you can just buy a big book of statistics and make the questions up from there, but it does get very tedious for European like me. That's okay, I'm cool with the fact that I don't know everything and there are bound to be gaps in my knowledge and I wouldn't have a problem with it if wasn't for the fact that seemingly every other question is about American sports. Still, I don't know the answer or anything useful like that and so this question - like every other question about American sports - becomes a wild guess with a 25% chance of success. And this is one of the less impenetrable questions, because at least I know what sport it's referring to (unless baseball also has quarterbacks: I wouldn't know) and I have actually heard of John Elway. Obviously, I know nothing about baseball, or American football, or basketball, especially not things like which establishment of higher education former players attended.

Here we witness my most treacherous foe in all of Quiz & Dragons: American Sports. This is the world of Quiz & Dragons.Ĭlearly this situation can't go on, so four brave heroes assemble to reclaim the Wisdom Seed by quizzing their way through monster-infested countryside before eventually matching their wits (or at least their knowledge of unimportant factlets) with Gordian himself.Īh, fuck. 'That's right.' Then the dragon flies over to Terry from down the road and asks him who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1976. 'What is the capital of Burkina Faso?' You think for a moment as the dragon regards you with his baleful eyes, and then you say 'Ouagadougou?' 'Bugger,' says the dragon. 'Answer me well, mortal, for your very life depends on it!' shouts the dragon, because as a species they are rather given to pomposity. Just take a second to contemplate what that last sentence implies about the world of Quiz & Dragons, won't you? The kingdom is under attack, day turned to night by the shadows of a dragon's wing, and as you prepare to flee the city and leave behind all you hold dear one of these mighty beasts swoops down from the skies and lands in front of you.
