__AP x 3!! Antebellum Period, Civil War, and Reconstruction__
1. Split the group playing the game into two teams 2. Determine which team will go first 3. All questions are about the Civil War, reconstruction, or antebellum period, and have a point value based on difficulty. The first team to go will pick a question, which will be read to them by the opposite team. **NEITHER** team can look at the answer to the question at this point. 4. There are ten seconds given to answer each question. If the team given the question can't answer in that time, the second team has a 10-second try for 2x the point value, or they can choose a new question. If they choose to try the question for 2x and fail to answer in the given ten seconds, the first team can try once more for 3x, or choose a new question. This is the highest multiplication a question can get, so it must be discarded after it gets back to the team that initially picked it. 5. If a team chooses to answer a question, they then check to see if they are right. If they aren't, the other team can have a try at it, but the team that got it wrong can't have another try later (because they have already seen the answer). If they are right, the other team can look at the answer to confirm it, and the game continues. 6. Two points are taken from the team score for every second that they go over the 10-second time limit. 7. Whichever team has the most points by the time all of the questions have been used, or by the time the game must be ended, wins.
