Lippengeflüster

What did you say?

Two teams try, to win most cards over three rounds by correctly lipreading sentences. 150 double-sided cards show two sentences on each side, each on on a distinct color background, orange/purple and yellow/green. For each game, you select one of the colors.

Players form two teams. One player of a team draws a card, another team member dons the headphones and starts the timer on the headphone set. The player with the card whispers the sentence in the respective color box. The range of sentences includes phrases like “Let’s buy a cupcake and eat it” or “I am a dinosaur” or “I read one book every month” or “There are no toilet breaks” or “I like your trousers”. The player wearing the headphones guesses what was whispered. The whisperer must not gesticulate, but can repeat the sentence any number of times. The sentence must be guessed correctly. If this is achieved, the team keeps the card for a point. When the sentence has been guessed, the next card is drawn, and the sentence read, and so on, until the minute is up; the timer in the headphone signals the end of the round. The headphones are passed to the other team to play a round. After three such rounds for each team, the team with most points wins.

In the cooperative version for two players lip reader and whisperer alternate, at the and all won cards are the joint score, a score of 16 to 20 points is impressive!

Chinese Whispers without intermediaries and a cute version of a classic group game mechanism; precise talking and careful observation are needed and also a bit of imagination when interpreting, and of course there are lots of fun due to the misunderstandings.
