Pinocchio

True or False

One fine day an angel promises Pinocchio that he can become a „real“ boy, if he can master an adventure without lying and can detect the lies of others.

The Pinocchio doll is set out ready in easy reach for all players, the Pinocchio face is set down in the middle and the nose pieces are made ready. Each player is given a card “Truth” and a card “Lie”.

You tell a story based on a card – one card is drawn and the active player chooses one of the four topics on the card and decides if he will tell a true or a false story and puts down the card Truth or the card Lie accordingly, face down on the table. Then he tells the story – there are no parameters on duration. If, at the end of the story, you are first to grab the Pinocchio doll, you can ask a question which the story teller must answer truthfully or at his choice, depending on the card he put down.

Then players secretly vote on true or false with their cards; if you made a wrong guess you must elongate Pinocchio’s nose – all that must do so draw a subject card and then put – in order of the number on the card – the necessary number of nose pieces on Pinocchio’s face – two pieces when 4-6 are playing, one piece for 7-10 player. The pieces must be well centered.  When more than half of the players guessed correctly, the story teller must elongate the nose accordingly. When a piece tumbles off, the player who caused this takes an Angel chip. When you get the third chip the game ends and you win with fewest chips.

A nice mix of guessing and dexterity, based on a nice topic that fits the game well – family entertainment if you love to tell stories.
