Stadt Land Anders

Small School? Politics with three vowels?

This is a variant on the mechanism of finding terms in the tradition of Stadt Land Fluss and other word finding games using categories. In this version, you use category cards in four levels of difficulty - marked with stars on the backside - and 30 double-sided parameter cards with green specifications for letters and blue specifications for creative solutions.

You lay out categories of the desired level of difficulty - level Four is only available once as a special challenge, you need to find homonyms, that is, words with two meanings - and note them as column headers on your sheet. Then you decide on a certain type of specification - letter or creative - or a mixture of both and stack the cards.

For each round, you draw a random specification from the stack and read it out; all note it on their sheet and then write down a suitable term for each category; you can use singular or plural, and creative solutions with an explanation are valid. A term can never be used twice in the game, not even by a different player. Solutions for similar categories in one round must be different. If you found a term for all the categories or have at least two and think you will not find more, you call “Stop”. You announce your terms in turn and score one point for each term that was also written down by another player, and two points for solutions that you have alone. Gaps on another player’s sheet that are filled on your own also give you one point. After five rounds you win with most points.

Standard and yet witty and completely different! Have fun with searching for a bashful household item!
