PLAYED FOR YOU

ReACTION

Catch or get caught!

Rules are meant to be adhered to, but it is also fun to catch others when they are violating rules. Each player starts this game with two rules cards, the remaining cards are stacked face down. In your turn you draw a card and then choose one from the three now in your hand and place it either on the corresponding spot on the board or on the Nur-Du = Only-You board in front of another player.

Akteur Cards determine to whom the rule applies, Aktion Cards name the rule; A Nur-Du Card applies only to the respective player Akteur and Aktion cards are combined and are placed next to each other; if you add one card to the other you read out both of them and thus activate them, one of those kind of cards is never active without the other. Additional cards of those kinds are placed on top of others already in place and thus either change the actor or the rule.

One valid combination could be: “The youngest player” + “must say after each utterance I do really mean that!”

When you catch another player violating a rule you hit the buzzer and name the player and the violation; if you are correct you advance your marker two steps. If you are caught violating a rule or if you cannot state a violation correctly you retreat one step. When in doubt, the majority of players decide if there was a violation. Whoever reaches the finish first, wins.

Turbulent, witty and not as easy as it sounds, because you might to have to remember three different rules when both stipulations of the Akteur cards apply to you and if you have a Nur-Du card, too. And then you need to spot rule violations by other players, too!
