How to play:

1.   Choose one person to be the host! This person will collect all the cards and say the facts.

2.   The host will choose one of the cards and read the three interesting facts first.

3.   After reading the facts, they will give the players one minute to guess.

4.   If none of the players guess the person based on the three interesting facts, the host will read the “How they made a mark on the world” fact.

5.   The player with the most number of correct answers wins!
