Bezzerwizzer deluxe

Questions posed by a XyloPhone

Bezzerwizzer deluxe is the sequel game to Bezzerwizzer, intended for families and also bigger groups of players, as you can play with up to four teams.

In Bezzerwizzer you answer questions and can take over questions put to other players. The game comprises category stones for the categories of pictures, colors & shapes, film, history, remember a story, remember words, remember a sequence, remember details, motley, music, nature & geography, play a melody, play tones, sports, literature & language and television. For each round you draw four of those category stones for your personal board. You answer one question for each category and score points for it. The question cards show symbols that tell you how the question must be posed; if there are several symbols, their sequence must be adhered to: For instance, turn over timer, look at the card, then roll for the number of the questions, and so on. Two of the categories use the xylophone provided with the game; you must find the missing sound or guess the melody correctly. Questions t to 10 on the cards are intended for children; when a child rolls one of those numbers, adults cannot use their Bezzerwizzer piece and cannot answer, when children and adults are together in one team. Once in the game you can swap categories or play a Bezzerwizzer piece to answer the opponent’s question. If you are first to complete a trip around the board you win the game.

In this edition, too, Bezzerwizzer offers superb quiz fun, standard mechanisms have been varied elegantly and interestingly; the xylophone is a surprising and challenging detail.
