House of Cards trivia works because six seasons of backroom deals, betrayals and asides straight to camera gave fans a huge cast of politicians, aides and journalists to track. Questions can cover Frank and Claire Underwood, the staffers and reporters caught in their orbit, and the schemes that define each season.

A strong House of Cards quiz can include Frank Underwood and Kevin Spacey, Claire Underwood and Robin Wright, chief of staff Doug Stamper, congressman Peter Russo, journalist Zoe Barnes and Kate Mara, Remy Danton, Frank's South Carolina congressional seat and his rise from House Majority Whip, Claire's turn as U.N. Ambassador and eventually President, Freddy's BBQ Joint, and the direct-to-camera asides that became the show's signature. It works because fans who watched every season know exactly which deal, betrayal or body count shaped Frank and Claire's rise.
