Das Maß aller Dinge

Volumes, weights, sizes...

For how long do you have to let your hair grow to arrive at a length of 2 meters? How many African Elephants total the weight of the probably heaviest dinosaur that might have lived? 300 cards in this game pose that kind of weird questions; the answer is always an exact value with a given range on the board which is called “Maß aller Dinge”.

Each player has a measuring tape of 20 cm length and three estimation strips of varying length, the longer the lower its value in scoring centimeters. A question is posed, and the number range is mentioned – in case of the hair growth the “Maß aller Dinge” corresponds to a range of 0 to 20 years. You now put one of your estimation strips on the “Maß aller Dinge” in the section where you suppose the correct answer to be, also partially or completely on top of other strips – the shorter the strip you choose the bigger the risk to miss out. Then the card is turned over and aligned with its picture strip on top of the picture strip on “Maß aller Dinge” – if then the white arrow on the card points to your estimation strip, you have covered the correct answer and score the number of centimeters, 2, 3 or 5 cm, according to the number of lines of your strip, which you mark on your measuring tape. If you are first to mart 15 cm on your tape, you win.

A worthy successor to Pi mal Daumen! Maß aller Dinge, however, has a much more sophisticated and at the same time very simple solution and scoring system coupled with an unusually pretty and very functional design, besides the selection of really crazy and cute questions! And, by the way, it takes your hair two years to grow two meters.
