Dentist vs Game Designer

Each player looks for the most suitable partner among his fellow players, the one with similar interests in the categories Travel, Sports, Culture, Leisure, Esotericism and Nerd stuff. All players start with a storage rack and one tip marker each in the colors of all players. The hobby tiles are placed in the bag. At the start of the game each player draws 5 hobby tiles and one tile each for name, age and profession, thus determining his personality for the round.

In each round one player is looking for a partner and has a 45 sec talk with each other player, controlled by the timer. Then he decides on a player and takes this marker in his closed hand, his choice must not be visible for other players. The other players guess on his selection and pick up the corresponding marker. Then the choices are revealed and each correct guess scores one point.

When the active player and the partner of his choice can tell the name, age and profession of the other correctly, they can score additional points when they can name one or more hobbies of the other player correctly. After three wrong tries this is scored, if both could name a hobby in the same category they score a point each. When name, age and profession are not named correctly, the round ends immediately. When each player has been active player once, the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.

Speed Dating is a pure memory game, where it is important that you can make yourself unforgettable for the active player by witty communication. If you like that mechanism, you will fun with the hilarious combinations of characteristics.
