Ask HN: Need input on a card game for hackers

1 pointBjornWdiscuss

I'm refining a concept for a hackers card game with the working title "Smartass". One of the core concepts is answering questions within one of six categories. Currently the categories I'm working on are:

1. Hardware (example question: What is the meaning of the acronym RISC?)

2. Software (example question: Emacs Vs ...)

3. History (example question: Who coined the term 'bit' in 1948?)

4. People (example question: What is the name of the founder of Free Software Foundation?)

5. Jargon (example question: What is a magic byte (magic number)?)

6. Popular Culture (example question: In which movie is nmap being used?)

I have a few questions for you guys & gals: What do you think about these categories & in lesser extent the example questions? Would you want to play a card game specifically dealing with hackers culture? What would you want to pay for this?

Looking forward to your input,

Thanks!
