PLAYED FOR YOU
Welt des Films
FROM CASABLANCA TO HOLLYWOOD
With „Welt der/des ….“, featuring topics from Wine and Beer to Haute Cuisine, Automobiles and Books, HUCH! and friends has created a successful range of quiz games; the latest edition to this range is “Welt des Films” which ask for lots of facts on this topic. The four betting tables, featuring images relating to a cinema, are laid out around the scoring disc; each player takes his star marker for the scoring track and three bet discs. At the start of the game you decide on a number of question cards, the amount of cards determines the duration of the game, 12 cards take about 45 minutes.
The questioner of the round reads a question of his choice from the top card and then all four answers one by one, at least one answer is wrong. If you believe that an answer is correct you place one of your bet discs on the corresponding betting table; and of course you can give a guess at three different answers. When all bets for all answers have been placed the card is scored. If you bet on one wrong answer you do not score for this round. If all bets that you placed were correct you move your star marker as many steps as you placed bets. As in all other editions this mechanism works well, somehow the knowledge that more than one answer could be correct makes one take risks, which is intensified by there being no penalty for a wrong answer except not advancing your marker.
This is a must-have for all fans of the silver screen; the questions are geared to make one curious even if one is not a fan and entice you to plush chairs and popcorn! Challenging, informative and entertaining!
