Description

Trivia game about one of Finland's cities, Tampere. The game has 900 questions and is suitable for everyone who wants to learn more about Tampere.

The name of the game means "See you at the rapids" and refers to the Tammerkoski rapids that run straight through the city (although now largely covered/developed) from lake Näsijärvi - itself one of the largest lakes in Finland and an important means of communication and trade before the advent of railways and the motor car - to lake Pyhäjärvi, and which the city was originally developed around; the rapids provided a ready source of power for the weaving mills, paper mills, engineering works etc. of the emerging industrial revolution of the 19th century and started Tampere on the path to becoming what it now is.

The game is basically the Tampere edition of Nähdään kellon alla!, the original version set in Helsinki. Unlike that version however, this is not completely bilingual; only 300 of the 900 questions have been translated to Swedish and there's a separate deck for those cards, furthermore the cards are not categorized but simply have the "easy" or "difficult" option on them.
