Activity Solo & Team

One game, two versions

Yet another Activity variant, using the familiar basic mechanisms - a term must be explained either verbally, with a drawing or doing a pantomime. This versions adds a new way of explanation, sounds! You may make noises with mouth, hands and feet, but must not gesticulate with your hands. If you are asked to sing, you may NOT sing the words.

In the Activity Solo variant, you play on your own and present the term to all other players. The active player draws the top card from the stack, has about ten seconds to look at the three terms and then tries to present - within the timer’s 90 second runtime - as many terms as possible in the given way so that the other players guess them. When the timer has run out, the card is shown to all players so that retrospect control of rules adherence is possible. Then the presenter and successful guesser score the points next to each correctly guessed term on the card and move their pawn accordingly. Whoever is furthest ahead at the end of the round in which the 25 points mark on the board has been crossed, wins.

The Activity Team variant is played as usual; players form teams with equal numbers of players, as far as possible and with at least two players per team; the presenter of the active team tries to explain the term to his team members, and only the active team scores for correctly guessed terms. Terms printed in read cannot be shown to the other teams, because those terms are up for guessing by all teams and are always worth five points.

Activity as we know and love it, nicely varied and with an excellent selection of terms; the presentation by sounds is a special challenge!
