PLAYED FOR YOU

Marionette

Hum a song, guess a person

In this party game using creativity and communication you need to score points for various action rounds, playing in teams; those teams can be composed according to your own choice. Task cards come in three categories: Word games, creative games and pantomime. One member of the team draws a selection card for category. The task card shows one task for each of the three levels of difficulty and you have one minute to complete the task. Tasks are given as: Malspaß – you draw terms, numbers and letters cannot be used in the drawing; Tirili – you hum a song. Wer bin ich? – A person must be guessed, questions of team members are answered with yes or no. Erklärbar und Pssst – for both tasks you need to explain terms verbally, for Pssst five terms, set into brackets, cannot be used in explaining. Stadt-Name-Land – you name terms suiting the category beginning with the given letter. Pantomime – you must explain something by pantomime, depending on the difficulty it can be a term, a group of words or a phrase. For each task successfully mastered within the time frame of one minute you score one point each for Malspaß, Erklärbar and Pantomime/Begriffe, Tirili, Stadt-Name-Land and Pantomime/Wortgruppen two points each for and for Wer bin ich, Pssst and Pantomime/Redewendung three points each. The team that reaches 30 points first, wins the game.

The game mechanics are familiar, the packaging is handy to take along and you can play instantly. Nice details like humming songs for a task distinguish the game from each predecessors; fun and sometimes challenging family entertainment is guaranteed in any case.
