Freeze

School? Teacher or dirEctor? 1 or 2?

 

The situation is set in an impromtu theatre: you play several short scenes until someone has scored 16 points. Each player starts with a score of 1 point. Four of the players are actors, the others are all spectators. 2 sets of ranking cards 1-4 are shuffled, sorted and dealt according to exact rules, after this each actor has a secret rank, one ranking card is visible. A situation card is drawn and the die determines the situation that actually will be enacted. Each actor decides for himself how he could play the rank they were given in the situation they have to present. If you have rank 1 in a school you could portrait the director. The actors play out the situation over 45 seconds and the spectators try to find out who has which rank and where the scene takes place. Then all guess at the situation, a correct tip scores 2 points. If an actor gives away rank or situation all others score one point without guessing. Then the die is rolled to determine the rank that must be guessed. All players including the actors point to the person whom they believe to have this rank. If you hold this rank you must point to yourself. Depending on the situation there are exact rules who must point which hand and whom or where. Then the points are allocated according the specific rules. For the next scene three actors leave, three spectators become actors.

I am tempted to say, a typical Andrea Meyer game! Exciting basic idea, witty implementation, some like it, some hate it, but is is always a challenge and if you manage to get “into” the game it is lots of fun, and interesting, too!
