When two masters in their respective fields come together, something magical happens. Jeopardy! icon and host Ken Jennings is teaming up with Magic: The Gathering creator and game legend Richard Garfield once again for a sequel to their trivia game — Half Truth.
Half Truth: Second Guess has many of the same features as the original game, including the multiple-choice feature, where players are given six answers, three of which are correct. Players can make up to three guesses, trying to nail down the three true answers. If you get one correct, you earn five points; if you get two correct, you earn six points; and if you get all three correct, you earn seven points. However, if you get any wrong answers, you earn zero points for the round.
“The most important thing [for me] was getting it so that players who didn’t know a lot about trivia felt comfortable playing and felt like they had a chance,” Garfield says. “That’s what led me down the road of doing multiple choice, where you’ve got a 50% chance right off the bat of guessing and getting a correct answer.”

The new version of the game also supports double the amount of players, making game night a bigger event than ever! For a bigger game, you can also combine Half Truth and Half Truth: Second Guess for more questions and playtime.
“Richard and I were floored by the overwhelming response to Half Truth and the desire for more. I’ve always loved trivia because it brings people together in a fun, competitive way, and now with Half Truth: Second Guess, we’re taking that to a whole new level,” Jennings says. “I can’t wait to see trivia fans around the world experience the new challenges we’ve packed into this sequel!”
Half Truth: Second Guess is available now through Kickstarter for $20 individually or bundled with the original game for $49.
