Mutabo

Honey bee turns predator dragonfly

Chinese Whispers is a familiar mechanism, and we also at some point played Chinese Whispers using writing words and drawing pictures, but only using one word at a time. In Mutabo, the challenge for creativity and imagination is bigger, we use sentences instead of words determined by dice roll. Red cards for first halves of sentences and green cards for second halves of sentences yield 26.244 crazy little stories.

Each player draws one red and one green card from the respective face-down stacks and secretly selects one of the 36 possible combination of sentence halves. You write your sentence on the top of the sheet and fold the sheet at the first line to cover the sentence. Then cards are set aside, and you hand the folded sheet over to your neighbor. He now reads your sentence in a way that only he can see it and then draws an image that he believes to depict the sentence. Then all fold the sheets again and hand it on; the next player writes a sentence describing the drawing. You keep folding and handing on, until three sentences are written, and three drawings have been made. When the sheet is filled, the round ends, the sheets are opened, and you may laugh and enjoy the surprise of the beginning and the end!

THE party game, if you want to enjoy how - in six stages- a honey bee mutates to a predator dragonfly or an anthill turns into a pig. The fun and laughter should be enough, but if you want to do a scoring you can vote on the funniest drawing or the best sentence - usually the fun is sufficient incentive for the next round. What will „The gold fish meets a mole in the garden“ turn into?
