So typisch!

Bicycle assigned to the clown?

All players versus the game, each and every correlation is important. 53 character cards, from dwarf to cook, and 53 object cards are shuffled and stacked separately. Four number cards 1-4 are laid out, and both the current assigner and the remaining players as the guessing team receive one set of chips, values 0 to 4, a Minus and a Plus chip are set down.

The assigner puts four character cards randomly beneath the number cards and then four object cards, also randomly, beneath the characters. Then the assigner uses his number chips to assign the persons one of the objects on display; for instance, with chip #4 the green slippers to the clown under number card 4. The assigner can use his 0, if he believes that an object cannot be plausibly assigned to any of the characters. The surplus chip remains with the assigner, face-down.

Then the guessing teams discusses possible assignments - the assigner must not interfere or give hints, he cannot mime or gesture, either. Then the guessing team uses the number chips to guess the assignments and both sets of chips are revealed: For a correlation, the object card goes under the Plus chip, for failed correlation it goes under the Minus chip. Character cards are set aside and the role of assigner passes for the next round. When object and character cards have run out, players win if there are more cards under the Plus chip than under the Minus chip. In variants, Chip 0 is not used, or two chips can be placed with an object.

This is a nice version of the I-know-how-you-decide games - surely you have assigned the lighter to the snowman! All in all, cute family fun with witty illustrations.
