Quelf

The incalculable Party Game

Quelf is one of those games with nice standard mechanisms that tend to come back, this time republished by Spin Master. You roll the die, move, draw a card, implement or enact the card and want reach the finish line first. New are the characters that you choose. In your turn you draw a card in the color of the case that you reached by rolling a die. The ability of the chosen character will influence the outcome.

If you fail or answer incorrectly, you move back the penalty number of spaces stated on the card. The “Quelf” effect of your card can be anything – a quotation, an instruction, additional points or? Surprise! Card categories are Regelz, Quissels, Stuntz, Showbiss und Hirnknots. Regelz can be valid for one or all, if you forget one, you are penalized. You can only shed them at the start or by a new instruction. Task precede Regelz cards. Quissels cards demand knowledge, Stuntz body agility like standing on tiptoe and Showbiss creative output like rhymes, dancing or singing. Hirnknots are word chains on association. If you stop the chain because you answer too slow or name a term twice or cannot answer, you incur a penalty. On the finish case you must answer one additional Hirnknots to win the game.

Quelf is like Irish Stew – a tasty mix based on a good recipe; Quelf characters and Quelf effects are cute details and the tasks are really funny, like trumpeting a national anthem with your nose. The Quelf effect of this? See for yourself! You must be prepared to make a fool of yourself and to secure beloved items around the game table, but fun and laughter are guaranteed!
