"We haven't seen a game like this since Trivial Pursuit — it's about time. This is the perfect game for trivia addicts."

LINKEE is the popular UK game that has made the grand voyage across the pond landing in North America this season. LINKEE is the no fuss, no muss, 'shouty-outy' quiz game with a twist. Players answer four questions and determine what links those answers together. Whoever guesses the link first, wins that card, and the first to collect enough cards to spell 'L-I-N-K-E-E', wins!
