Jubiläumsedition

Searching for words within a time limit, in this new edition, the Jubilee edition on occasion of the 20^th Anniversary of the first edition, F.X. Schmid 1997. The new edition comes with 40 new cards, among them veto cards, double-point-cards as well as new handicap and task cards- On the board with a starting case and a track of 34 cases, the last 12 cases show an exclamation mark. You take a double-point card, a veto card and six betting cards of values 1 to 6. Players agree on a number between 1 and 10 for the game.

A game master reads out the corresponding task from a card - once in the game you can veto a task with your card. Then all players note as many suitable words for the task as they can. When time has run out, you bet with a number card on how many words you will be able to read out in your turn. The player with the lowest bet starts and reads only as many words as he has bet. All others cross out a word they have noted when it is read out. If you managed to read out the number of words you bet, you advance your marker accordingly. Once in the game you can use the double-point-cards and move double the steps if you meet your bet. When the marker of the player in the lead sits on an exclamation mark, he gets a handicap for the round, for instance “only words of less than six letters”. The first at the finish wins.

20 years old and not dated at all, on the contrary, still very modern and very, very good! The betting mechanism offers some tactics, of course you choose words to read out that others might have noted as well. Well-working standard mechanisms, with a nice twist added to make it lively!
