The quick verdict
Full verdict ↓Great for Sport-mad children from about 6 who follow matches or play at school
Think twice if Your children mainly follow cricket: several cards we could see are sports rarely watched in India, such as baseball, American football and ice hockey
How we rate it
Learning curve. Ask yes-or-no questions, name the sport, win 7 cards; Skillmatics says it takes 2 minutes to learn. That puts it at 1 on our scale with UNO; knowing your sports matters more than the rules.
Luck & skill. Which card you draw is luck, and basketball is easier than kickboxing. Questions that split the field (team or single player, ball or no ball, Olympic or not) and knowing a range of sports decide most games.
Interaction. Two sides take turns asking and answering, and the other side must answer truthfully; there is no blocking or attacking.
Set-up. Shuffle the cards and hand out three clue cards to each player or team. There is nothing else to set up.
Reading. Guessers only talk, but the card-holder reads English buzz words, clues and the bonus question aloud, so a child who can't read yet needs a partner.
Learning curve: 1 = UNO or Connect 4; 3 = Catan; 5 = a heavy strategy game. These describe the experience, not an overall score.

- 3Win

The full explanation: how a game of Guess in 10: World of Sports goes
Each card is one sport, from baseball, basketball and tennis to karate, kickboxing and gymnastics. Next to the picture are three buzz words (for karate: strength, barefoot, defence), three clues, a facts panel that says whether the sport is played alone or in teams, whether it is in the Olympics and what equipment it needs, and a bonus question. The card-holder starts you off with the first two buzz words.
Then ask up to 10 yes-or-no questions. Skillmatics' rules sheet suggests ones like 'Is it an Olympic sport?', 'Is it played with a racket?', 'Is it played barefoot?', 'Is it played on ice?' and 'Is it the national sport of a country?'. A question the card-holder can't answer doesn't count, you get two guesses per card, and a clue card lets you hear clue 1, 2 or 3.
Guess right and you keep the card, then decide whether to try the bonus question: count the vowels in SKATEBOARDING in 10 seconds, pick the odd one out from judo, karate, kickboxing, wrestling and kung fu, or name three non-Olympic sports (kabaddi is one of Skillmatics' answers). A right answer earns all three buzz words on your next turn; a wrong one costs you the card.
The rules and the 6+ age are the same as in the Animal Kingdom deck on our Guess in 10 page; only the subject changes. Children who play or watch sport have an edge, and cards like baseball and American football are a chance to learn sports that are less familiar in India.

What reviewers and players say
We found no independent reviews of the World of Sports deck. Guess in 10 is Skillmatics' best-known game: its Animal Planet deck won a NAPPA parenting award in 2022, with parent testers praising how well it travels and how children and adults enjoy it together. World of Sports keeps those rules and the same 6+ age, swapping animals for sports from baseball to kickboxing. It should suit sporty children and families who like trivia, though children who mainly follow cricket may find some cards unfamiliar.
What people love
- The same quick rules as the animal deck, at the same 6+ age
- A facts panel on every card: alone or in teams, Olympic or not, and the gear it needs
- Bonus questions mix sport with word and number puzzles, like counting the vowels in SKATEBOARDING
- A small box that travels well
Common complaints
- No independent reviews, so it is hard to say how well 50 cards last with repeat play
- Several sample cards (baseball, American football, ice hockey) are sports many Indian children rarely see
- The card-holder has to read English clues aloud

Questions people ask about Guess in 10: World of Sports
Which sports are in Guess in 10 World of Sports?
Skillmatics' sample cards show baseball, basketball, American football, tennis, ice hockey, karate, kickboxing, gymnastics and skateboarding. Skillmatics doesn't publish the full list of 50, so we can't say whether cricket has a card; kabaddi does come up as an answer to a bonus question.
Is Guess in 10 Sports the same as Guess in 10 World of Sports?
Yes. World of Sports is Skillmatics' name for its sports deck, item SKILL36GWS, and some listings call it Guess in 10 Sports. Our Amazon.in link goes to that deck.
What age is Guess in 10 World of Sports for?
Skillmatics says 6 and up, and the box says 6-99. Whoever holds the card reads English clues aloud, so a 6-year-old who isn't reading yet can play on a team with an older cousin or a parent.
Is Guess in 10 World of Sports made in India?
Yes. Skillmatics' own photo of the box back reads 'Made in India' with the Mumbai address of Grasper Global, Skillmatics' company, and its India product page gives India as the country of origin.
Can two people play Guess in 10 World of Sports?
Yes. It takes 2 to 6 players: two people play one against one, and bigger groups split into two teams. Skillmatics puts an average game at about 20 minutes.
