PLAYED FOR YOU

Sag's mir! Filme

Last Evening = Dirty Dancing?

In this edition of Sag's mir!, players in teams need to guess titles of films and TV series. At the start of the game you decide on the blue or yellow part of the cards. 40 cards are distributed among the players in a detailed procedure. Then each player is given two more cards, looks at all his cards and discards two. All remaining cards are collected, shuffled and are draw pile for the whole game. All teams play in turn: In the first round, the active player of a team has 30 seconds to describe the term; if you have time to spare he can start on the next term, He can talk freely using whatever words he wants with only one restriction: he cannot use parts of the term. For each correctly guessed term the team keeps the card. The active player can set aside a card; these cards earn no negative score; if a mistake is made in explaining the card is simple set aside, too. When all cards have been given out to the teams, each team notes the number of cards won and all cards are shuffled again for the next round.  In this second round you may only use one word to define the term and in the third round you can only use pantomime to define the term, accompanied by noises or humming. After three rounds the team with most points wins.

Sag's mir! is - also in this new, German-language-only edition with a new title and packaging - a witty, well-working member of the guess-at-definitions genre and offers the advantage that you know at least the category of the terms and that you have heard explanations for each term already once to remember for the second and third round, so that you have at least some clues.
