The game comes with seven packets of cards, 26 cards per packet. The front of each card depicts a work of art, and the back contains a question in one of five categories: Language, Science & Technology, Government & Religion, Daily Life, and Warfare. Players attempt to deduce the answer to each question based upon (1) the picture on the front, (2) clues within the question, and (3) the category. Points are scored for correct answers. The game ends when all the questions in a packet have been read.
