EIN SINNOVATIVES SPIEL!

Whatever sinnovative may be, Aim of the game is to first make up words and then invent definitions/meanings for them. The components are very simple, 3 dice with vowels, 7 dice with consonants, one block and a handful of chips.

Each player receives 13 of those chips and a sheet off the block! Take care and keep the backside hidden all the time. You get the dice, roll them all and form a word of your own imagination, made up from a minimum of three letters! It is important NOT to form a word that already exists, as far as common knowledge goes. Then you read out your word and all players write a short definition for it on the back side of their sheet. Then all turn over the sheets again, they are shuffled and randomly dealt to all players. Now all read out the definitions and then name a cue word for the definition that all mark on the front side of the sheet under the name of the reader. Then everybody secretly marks his own definition and those other two he likes best. Then in turn everybody asks all others if they did mark him. All those who have done so put a chip in the middle and the author of the definition read by this player takes the chips. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players you win with most chips.

Sounds complicated, but is not! It is rather intellectual fun for people who love to play with words; you score for your own definition and for everybody who liked it.

Quixbutz? Unknown new race in Middle Earth? A sound that is made by quicksilver? And sinnovative might mean innovative meanings – sensovative! And Frigiti? Could be a baby frigate!
