Argentrivia: The card game testing what locals and visitors know about Argentina

A new card game called Argentrivia is testing players' knowledge of Argentina, becoming a bestseller in local bookstores. Published by FERA and priced at $33,000 Argentine pesos, the game is designed for all ages and aims to be both entertaining and educational.

The portable game includes eighty cards, each with four questions across four categories: history, geography and travel, pop culture, and sports. Correct answers are highlighted in bold. The game also comes with a die and an instruction manual. The questions focus on curious, pride-inducing, or amusing facts about Argentina, with examples including inquiries about films shot in Ushuaia, the location of the town Matagusanos, and the origin of sorrentinos.

Designed by Tomás Linch, who authored the questions, and illustrated by Anabella Vitas, Argentrivia is presented as an ideal activity for social gatherings, such as pre-match get-togethers for the World Cup, or casual get-togethers with family and friends. The game can be played by two to seven players, or in teams. Players roll the die to determine the category of question they must answer. Correct answers earn the player a card, with the objective being to collect ten cards. Special cards feature Argentine phrases and prompts for singing popular songs.

Linch highlights the game's ease of play, noting that it can be enjoyed within minutes of opening. He also mentions its versatility, with people using it to decide on chores like cooking or choosing TV programs. Argentrivia is described as a classic trivia game that fosters a unique emotional connection among players.
