Klappe!

Only talking is better!

Wanted: Quick-witted repartees to the most important questions in life! The aim of the game is simply to get as few Klappe! cards as possible.

Each player is given one of 50 answer cards, each of which carries four answers, and one Klappe! card; the 50 statement cards, carrying two statements each, are stacked face-down. The Klappe! card is laid out and covered with any other card.

The game master of the current round draws a card and makes a statement from this card to his left neighbor, who now answers as quickly as possible and with the right intonation, using an answer from his card. Then the game master makes a statement towards each remaining player in the round, always with a different statement and draws the necessary cards from the stack.  At the end of the round the game master says “Klappe!” to the player who he believes gave the worst or least suitable answer; this player slides the cover card of his Klappe! card down by one line. Then the next player in clockwise direction becomes the starting player of the next round.

Players can only give an answer from their card once, then a new answer card is drawn. If someone must reveal the bottom line on his Klappe! card, the game ends and the winner is whoever has revealed the fewest lines on his Klappe! card and thus gave the least worst answers.

The mechanism of a well-known game for children, adapted for adults - the selection is nearly as random and the result usually as witty as the judgement of the game master is arbitrary. And yet, the game is fun and there are lots of laughter on the resulting statement/answer combinations.
