Burst

The off-key dance around the volcano

Party and crazy tasks are the order of the day in order to be first to arrive at the Burst volcano. At the volcano you must master a Do-not-laugh task which you must survive to be the winner of the game! The volcano is assembled and filled with word cards. One Hot Spot card is chosen; this card is valid for all of the game and determines what happens on the Hot Spots on the board.

You roll the die, implement the task of this color on the top card and move your pawn accordingly. When you reach an occupied spot you quickly shout “Burst” or must step back one spot.

The black tasks are easy: The volcano issues a verdict; you listen and move your pawn according to the verdict. For a red task you must keep a straight face for the timer period, while the others try to make you laugh with funny words. For a green task you draw a card from the volcano and explain it by pantomime, drawing or talking. For purple you complete a sentence and the other players judge the statement with „true“ or „nonsense“ and you move forward one spot for each wrong guess; all players who guess correctly, move one spot, too. In case of yellow you draw words from the volcano, fill the gaps in the sentence on the card and then implement the task taking into account what you filled in. Blue delivers a “What the …“ card, they are secret and must be implemented without explanation, for instance close your eyes until your next turn and stay inert.

In short, a standard party game featuring standard mechanisms, the fun cannot be transported in writing, but it is there and the tasks themselves are absolutely funny and not standard at all!
