Ask. Answer. Win the card.

1

Set up the table

Tap Play and choose:

• Classic or the 15-minute race
• Just me against three computer players, or Family for 2–6 people on one phone (with a family set up, tap who’s playing)
• Your level, from 1 (Explorer) to 5 (Atlas master)
• Which countries and which kind of questions

Everyone is dealt six cards. The rest is the draw pile.

2

Pick who to ask

On your turn, tap a player under Who do you ask? Watch the bar: you have 25 seconds to make each ask.

Your cards are at the bottom, each with its family, currency, language and faith.

3

Ask for a country or a value

• Ask for a country that’s missing from a family you already hold.
• Ask for a value: a currency, language or faith you already hold. The ones you hold are highlighted in green.

Asking for a value you don’t hold ends your turn.

4

Answer to win the card

If they have it, you get a question about that country: four options, 25 seconds, no looking it up.

Questions cover flags, capitals and cities, and history and culture, at your level.

5

Right or wrong

• Right: the card is yours and you ask again with a fresh clock.
• Wrong: they keep the card and your turn ends. The right answer glows green, so you learn it for next time.

They don’t have it? In Classic you draw a card; if it’s exactly what you asked for, ask again. In the race there’s no draw, so every card is won by answering.

6

Lay down quartets and win

When you hold four that match, tap Lay down four that match during your turn. Laid quartets are locked: nobody can ask for them.

• Classic: lay down one family quartet and one attribute quartet to win.
• 15-minute race: most cards, in hand and laid down, when the clock hits zero.

Each card counts in one quartet only, and an attribute quartet must share one value in a single category.

1

Create the family

On the home screen tap Your family, then Create a family:

• a family name, like The Carter Family
• a 4-digit parent PIN, typed twice
• the people who play, each with a level from 1 to 5

2

Share the family code

Open Add another phone to see your 8-letter family code. Tap Share to send it, or read it out.

3

Join on every phone

On each other phone tap Your family, then Join with a code. Type the code and a name for the phone, like “Mum’s phone”.

4

Choose who plays on it

Pick the person who uses this phone. Their atlas is the one on the home screen, and solo games and the daily challenge add to it.

5

Play a family game

Tap Play, then Family, and choose Who’s playing? from your family. Names and levels are filled in; you can change a level for one game.

Before each turn the phone tells you who to pass it to, and cards stay hidden until that person taps.

6

Manage it in Settings

Settings starts with your family: people, family name, family phones, the parent PIN, family questions and stakes. Language and look are there too.

Renaming the family, removing a person or removing a phone needs the parent PIN.
