Das Duell um die Geld

About this board game

Das Duell um die Geld is a poker-inspired quiz game for 3–5 players, played over approximately 150 minutes. Based on a German television show, it combines numerical questions with the turn and betting structure of Texas Hold’em.

Instead of receiving playing cards, everyone answers quiz questions with numbers. When a question is read, each player secretly records a guess on a card. The table then moves into a betting round, creating uncertainty around both the question and the other players’ estimates.

The game reveals information in stages that parallel the familiar poker sequence:

• Flop: a hint about the answer is revealed, followed by betting.
• Turn: a different hint is revealed, followed by another betting round.
• River: the correct answer is revealed, then the final betting round takes place.

These staged revelations give players more information as the hand progresses, while the betting structure keeps the size of the pot central to every decision. Players must judge how close their own number may be and weigh that guess against the unfolding clues.

At the end, the player whose answer is closest to the correct number wins the pot. Das Duell um die Geld offers a distinctive mix of quiz knowledge, numerical estimation, and Texas Hold’em-style betting, making the answer itself the focus of the contest.

Released in 2016, the game turns every question into a contest of guesses and wagers. The result is a quiz experience shaped not only by what players think the answer is, but also by when they choose to bet.
