PLAYED FOR YOU

ZIEGE MIT FLIEGE

Goat in pink high heels uses the trampoline

Four kinds of picture cards show colors, animals, clothing or activities. One word of each category, represented by a picture card, is connected for a starting sentence; for instance “Pink, Cow, Tartan and Socks” result in “the pink cow in a tartan is knitting socks”. All players memorize the sentence and you turn the picture cards over. The remaining picture cards are shuffled and stacked face-down. The active player draws the top card from the stack, looks at it and places it face-down onto the corresponding card. If, for instance, he did draw the beaver he places it face-down on the cow and says the new sentence - “The pink beaver in a tartan is knitting socks”. The next player draws a card, places it correctly and says the new sentence. This is continued until a player doubts that the sentence is correct. Now the top card in each stack is turned up and controlled. Whoever was correct, receives one card from the stack. When all cards have been played you win with most cards.

In the Fex versions you either introduce Confusion cards into the game or you place a fifth card between animal and clothing. The Confusion cards are shuffled into the pictures cards; when one turns up you either interrupt play with a totally new sentence or each player names an animal of his choice or a color and then the active player must say the currently correct sentence, and so on.

Ziege mit Fliege is one more enchanting game in the Fex series; the training effect is unobtrusive as usual and intense as usual; all in all the game is a fantastic training for memory and concentration, intensified by the Fex effect.
