Shire by Shire
Take every district on the map — the twelve regions of the UK, Northern Ireland included. Ireland is neutral ground and can't be played.
There's no turn limit. You win only by holding the lot, your rivals' homes included.
Two to four players. One seat can be the computer; the rest are human.
Each player picks a home district. A little tower flies that region's flag there.
Pick a district to fight for — an unclaimed one, or one a rival holds.
For an unclaimed district with three or four players, choose which rival to challenge.
Both players answer the same question against the clock. On a shared device, pass it over — no peeking.
Right when your rival is wrong: the district is yours. Both right: sudden death, up to two more questions. Both wrong: nobody takes it.
After every duel the right answer is shown in green, with each player's pick marked.
A home can only be attacked once every district has been claimed and it's the last land its owner holds.
The last stand is tougher: you must win two questions in a row, with a third of the usual time. A draw keeps the home standing.
Lose your home and you're out.
On your turn you can declare defeat. Your districts go back to unclaimed and play moves on.
If no human player is left, the game ends. Main menu leaves a game without it counting.
Squire is free: gentle questions, 25 seconds. Knight (18 seconds) and Lord (12 seconds) open with a pass at £1 a month.
Every game draws from all the trivia packs — UK, Europe, USA, world history, space, film, sport, positive behaviour, flags (Knight and Lord) and more — and a question only comes back once you've seen the rest.
The winner is crowned. Pass holders also bank wins, climb the titles and appear in the Hall of Fame.
