PLAYED FOR YOU

Voll ins Schwarze

How many People lived in Poland in 2010?

From the categories of This & That, Geography, History, Sports, Technology and Entertainment you choose four for the current game and assign them to a segment of the board. In a turn you choose a category, advance the category marker and read a question from the category; for instance “Rome was built on how many hills?“ The answer for any question is always a number between 1 and 99. The number cards do not offer a card for each number, very many of them are not available, others are in the deck several times. Each player holds 3 cards drawn from the stack 1-9, 2 cards from stack 10-20 and 2 cards from stack 30-80. For an answer to a question you can use one or more cards to place a face-down tip or you can pass. When the question has been read each player can place one or several of his number cards face down on the table for a tip or pause and lay down any number of cards together with the Pause card. If you gave the best tip and are nearest to the correct answer you move your marker one step forward and discard your number cards. When the answer is exactly correct, you keep your number cards. If you paused you draw three cards from any stacks of your choice and take back all your cards in hand, as do all those players whose tip was not close enough to the correct answer. When three category markers have reached the center you win with most points. The game also features a Bull’s Eye version with task cards for the categories.

Informative, funny, stress free, and if you know the correct answer but cannot make it up from your numbers you can always pause! And be annoyed! Or hope that you are near enough! Have fun!
