Abstract

A game of knowledge including wagering is played by multiple players. The players of the game place wagers to outwit the other players, such that the other players decide to leave the game, and based on their belief that they can correctly answer a question on a selected topic. A sole player remaining in the game, or the player(s) answering the question correctly, win or share a betting pot generated during at least one wagering round performed before the question is answered. The wagering round(s) follows the format conventional in the game of poker.
