Bin ich Beethoven?

Am I Beethoven? Or a cheese?

Am I Beethoven? adapts a basically well-known game mechanism for the 21st century, that is it introduces an eletronic game module. This so called Word Generator is fixed to an elastic headband. Players sort themselves into teams. One member of the active team is the guesser of the round and puts the Word Generator on his head. The generator displays a person, an animal, a film or an item. The guesser gets hints from his team mates. These hints must follow the basic rules for such games – no part or no variation of the term may be named. But the team may point to the corner of the board corresponding to the term. Each corner of the board is depicting one of the four categories. The team mates may also sing, hum or use other noises. In a “all is possible” round they can also work with “rhymes with” or “sounds like”.

The guesser has 90 seconds to name the term. In case of a mistake or if you want to pass you press the generator and a new term is displayed, you also do so if you name the term correctly before time runs out. If the other times note a mistake, they call “pass” and you press the generator. There is no additional penalty for a mistake or if you pass. For a correctly named term your team moves 2 steps in case of a “one term” round and 1 step in an “all is possible” round.

The team that reaches the finish at the end of a round wins the game.

Bin ich Beethoven? is nothing new, but still fun, still good, still provides lots of laughter and tension when you try to find out that you currently are a dog leash! Film freaks might have a slight advantage!
