The Game for Boys

The official game for youngsters

A game for boys and maybe even for boys and fathers together – a quiz game with questions and answers in five categories, you must be the first to accumulate 100 Boyz-Points and reach the finish to win.

The five categories are astronomy, Boyz Life, Grips-Quiz, Grow up and Knots & Tricks, each category is marked by its own color. In your turn you roll the die and draw a card of the category color rolled – now you can either play alone and win points for this task, if you solve it within the time-limit given on the card, or you play with one other player, this costs a red chip and the task must be solved by both of you together within the time frame. The points are split and both of you advance accordingly. For a blue chip you can hand on the task to the next player in turn and for a brown chip you can have all players playing, the points won are split among all the players.

For astronomy you need to draw a constellation, for Boyz Life you must identify animal marks or answer questions. Tasks in Quiz-Grips have you solve logic puzzles or cryptograms or rebus puzzles. Growing Up poses questions that can be easily solved by a grown up, dance a Foxtrot or identify a piece of art and allocate it to a museum. And in Knots & Tricks you must tie knots, even those of a tie, or learn a card trick or decipher encrypted messages.

This is basically a standard quiz game, but with attractive tasks and questions and surely a nice idea to entice not only the sons, for which this game is intended in the first place, but also the dads to the table to play – even better, dads and children!
