PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Ranking

Autoscooter or Lipstick? For Yeti??

 

You try to get your marker to the top of the ranking by continuous comparison. The game is made up from 120 picture tiles with useful and less useful items, and also 46 double-sided question tiles. At the start of the game you draw 6 picture tiles and keep them hidden. Then a question tile is drawn and yields the basic for the rankings, for instance “What is more valuable?”. Now all choose a tile from their personal stock and place it on the table, the starting player adds tile from general stock until 7 tiles are on the table. Then all are turned up and lined up at level three of the ranking tower. Now the starting player chooses two items, gives a reason why one is more valuable than the other and shifts the tiles accordingly one rank up and one rank down. All others do the same in turn, but you can only rank a row with a minimum of two tiles. And of course you try to get your item as high up as you can as unobtrusively as you can.  Because the higher up it ends up the more points you score, but only when the others do not spot your item. Because you have a marker in all the player colors and can put it on a tile to mark that you believe this item belongs to the red player. Each such marker deducts 1 point from the scoring which happens when 1 tile is at rank 6 and 1 at rank 0. You score level of your item minus markers, move your man accordingly and a new round begins. If your man reaches the roof, he turns around and goes back down; the first man out of the tower wins the game.

Fun, fast, fine! You need a quick tongue, a few creative reasons and bluff a bit!
