The basics
Two teams, Ketchup and Mayo, go through rounds of absurd trivia to rack up Miams. The rounds follow in order (Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre, Menus, Addition), some answered by conferring, others in a race to the Cheesebuzzer, where a wrong answer can hand the points to the other side. The first team to 25 Miams wins and sends its candidate to the Burger de la mort: ten questions, answered in one go after the tenth.

The rules, step by step
Setup
2 teams, Cheesebuzzer and totem, Toss for the lead
- Two players, or two teams of any size. A host who belongs to neither team can ask the questions, as on TV; otherwise the teams ask each other.
- Sort the cards by round: Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre (Salt or Pepper), blue Menus, Cordon Rouge Menus, Addition (The Bill) and Burger de la mort.
- Each team puts a Cheesebuzzer and its totem, Ketchup or Mayo, in front of it; the order pad is used to keep the scores.
- A toss, a little challenge of your choice (the rulebook suggests several, and you can invent your own), decides who takes the lead: the winner chooses their colour, Ketchup or Mayo, and answers first.
How to play
Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre, Menus, then Addition, Burger de la mort
- The rounds follow one another in order: Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre, Menus, Addition.
- Nuggets: a question with four options, only one of them right. No race: the team may confer. The host questions the teams in turn, starting with the team that has the lead, two questions each.
- Sel ou Poivre: a speed round on the Cheesebuzzer. The title gives two categories, and for each option read out you must say whether it belongs to one, the other or both. The first to buzz answers, and their answer counts, right or wrong.
- Menus: the first team questioned picks one menu out of three, two on the blue card and one on the Cordon Rouge card, then answers its 4 or 5 questions, conferring freely; the other team then picks from the two that remain.
- Addition: a speed round on the Cheesebuzzer, on a series of options linked to the title; the first answer given counts, right or wrong.
- Only one side of each card is read, unless an arrow shows that the series continues on the back.
- Without a host: in Nuggets, one team asks questions 1 and 2 of its card, the other questions 3 and 4 of its own; in the speed rounds, each team appoints a reader who does not play; with two players, each draws a card and quizzes the other.
- Burger de la mort: the winning team chooses its candidate. Ten questions are read out in a row, and the candidate only answers after the tenth, giving the answers back in order, with no notes and no help from anyone.
Scoring
Correct answer: 1 Miam, Addition: 3 Miams
- Nuggets: 1 Miam per correct answer; a wrong answer gives nothing to anyone.
- Sel ou Poivre: 1 Miam per correct answer; a wrong answer gives the Miam to the other team.
- Menus: 1 Miam per correct answer; a wrong answer gives nothing to anyone. The very specialised Cordon Rouge menu earns no more.
- Addition: 3 Miams per correct answer; a wrong answer gives the 3 Miams to the other team.
- The Burger de la mort is not scored in Miams: the first five answers given back in order win the small Burger de la mort, all ten the big one.
- When an unexpected answer is disputed, the host settles it in the name of the "Grand Miam".
- In Marquoir, enter each team’s Miams after each round.
End of the game
First team to 25 Miams
- The first team to total 25 Miams wins the game and sends its candidate to the Burger de la mort.
- If nobody has reached 25 Miams after the Addition, play another series of rounds until a team gets there.
House rules and pitfalls
The host is half the game: the questions only work when read with the seriousness they do not deserve.
- The host is half the game: the questions only work when read with the seriousness they do not deserve.
- The rulebook advises against the Cordon Rouge menus unless you are an expert on the theme: it is a bet for honour’s sake.
- The cards date through their topical references. Mixing two boxes from different years rebalances tables with several generations.

Frequently asked questions
How many Miams do you need to win Burger Quiz?
25: the first team to reach them wins and sends a candidate to the Burger de la mort.
How much is each round worth?
1 Miam per correct answer in Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre and Menus, 3 Miams in the Addition. In the two speed rounds, Sel ou Poivre and Addition, a wrong answer hands the Miams at stake to the other team.
What is "Sel ou Poivre"?
A speed round: the title offers two categories, and for each option you must say whether it goes in one, the other or both. The first to buzz answers, and their answer is final.
How does the Burger de la mort work?
The candidate hears ten questions in a row without answering, then gives back all ten answers in order. The first five right and in order win the small Burger de la mort, all ten the big one. Nobody may help, and no notes are allowed.
Can you play without a host, or with two?
Yes: the teams read the questions to each other, and in the speed rounds each one appoints a reader who does not play. With two players, each draws their own card and quizzes the other.
Is there a "Nonobstant" round?
No: the box only contains Nuggets, Sel ou Poivre, Menus, Addition and the Burger de la mort.
