BAM

Das shockingly good word game

BAM!,- a short, concise, precise word, used as a place-holder für words. Words in this game are printed on cards, to be more precise, on 367 grey term cards. Terms vary from "Obi-Wan Kenobi" via "Angoraunterwäsche" or "Bauchfreie Teenie-Kleidung" to "Stuttgart 21". Ten of those term cards are dealt to each player, the rest is stacked for a draw-pile.

One player begins the game as the current BAM! Master and turns up the top red BAM! Card. Those BAM! cards carry a text containing one or several BAM!s, for instance "At a Party I only need BAM! and BAM!" or "I am into BAM! and that is okay", all of course in German. And, BAM!, all have grasped that all they have to do is find the card or cards that go best with the text of the BAM! card. You hand your selection to the BAM! Master, in case of several cards you stack them in the order they are meant to appear in the sentence. The BAM! Master reads out all combinations, if necessary grammatically adapted, and then decides which combination he likes best and hands one of the term cards to this player for a point. Finally, the Bam! Master gives the red BAM! card to the player whose combination he liked least, for a penalty point.

When all players have been BAM! Master equally often - players decide - you win with the highest total of points.

And if your brain goes [_blänk], it has remembered that BAM! was presented under this name in a minimal edition at Essen 2012. It was funny, naughty, suggestive and full of sexual innuendo even then and this is how it is now! A well-made game on words for people who love that kind of games with unequivocally ambiguous words with a weird touch.
