PLAYED FOR YOU

Enthüllt

Indiscreet questions - true answers?

The game comprises 150 cards with questions, 30 each on the categories of Love, Sex, Life, Spirituality and Leisure. In your turn you roll the die, take the top card from the resulting category, read out the question and answer it. If you roll the question mark you may think up a question and put it to any fellow player. If you must answer you have 3 minutes to do so. You can replace questions in the category Sex with questions from the Life category and can play the version “Duty or Truth”; if you do not want to answer or cannot answer you must accomplish a task set by the other players. All non-active players are jury and reward the active player with 0 to 5 points, but not individually, the complete jury must agree the number of points. The rules do not mention of a task is evaluated by the jury with points, too – I am sure it would be! If you are first to reach a pre-set number of points – between 100 points in case of two players and 25 points in case of seven or 8 players - you win.

Enthüllt is another new game in the genre of communications game, which attracts attention first due to the size of its box. The mechanisms are standard ones for such games, you should answer more or less indiscreet questions as truthfully or as fanciful as you can; a nice detail is the joint awarding of points for all currently inactive players – it could happen that the discussion on truthfulness or individuality of an answer among the jury members turns out to be more interesting and more communicative than the answer to the question if one believes in ghosts and has proof for this believe.
