Jeopardy! is meant for three teams or players.
The first team may choose a category & point value.
The moderator reads the corresponding “answer.”
The player that raises his/her hand first must respond in question form (i.e. What is
California?). If the player responds incorrectly, the point value is subtracted from
his/her total.
The player responds correctly, he/she accumulates the corresponding points and chooses
the next category & point value.
