PLAYED FOR YOU

Differix extrem

Speedy, Focused search

16 images on a board only seem to be identical, you must spot the tiny differences, and under pressure of time in three of the four variants listed in the rules.

For Memo-Differix you take one of the boards and 16 tiles; the tiles are placed face-down on the table and shuffled. Now you play a memo game and turn up tiles; if you find one of your pairs, you take it and place it face-down on your board. When a player has found all tiles the searching phase ends for all players and you now assign the tiles to the pictures on the board and check for correctness with the foil. If you have most correct tiles, you win.

Differix ganz fix is played against the timer, all players try to place their tiles correctly and as fast as possible on their board. If you are finished before the timer sounds, you stop the game for all. Whoever has most correctly placed tiles, wins.

Differix im Kreis is intended for 6 year olds, you should place as many tiles as possible correctly on four boards over the course of four rounds. Each player has a board and tiles and assigns while the timer runs, then you control the placement and score a point for each correctly placed tile; each wrongly placed tile scores a negative points. Then you hand on the board and after four rounds you win with most points. Differix mit Weitergeben is played in teams, in analogy to Differix im Kreis, after a certain amount of time has passed you hand the board over to a member of your team.

This mechanisms, established for 40 years now, are still fun; the time element introduces an additional challenge and very intensely trains focusing and observation abilities.
