PLAYED FOR YOU

Kikerikimäh!?

Which kind of feet does a dolphin have?

10 task cards are stacked face-down, 56 animal cards are shuffled and dealt evenly to all players; if you were dealt doubles, you set them aside – then each player stacks his remaining cards face-down. You turn over the top task card and name the task – describe the animal’s habitat, describe snout/beak, describe animal without naming it, describe feet, draw animals with your fingers, describe food, move like the animal, describe its head, make its noise, imitate the animal’s movement with your fingers, describe color, describe skin surface, imitate the animal’s way of sleeping, describe its tail, describe its weight or describe/show how the animal eats. Then you look secretly at your top animal card and accomplish the task according to this animal. The other players search their stacks for the animal they believe you described and lay out the card face-down. Then the cards are checked – a pair between the active player and another player or a pair between two non-active players is set aside. If you are first to shed all cards you win, maybe several players together. In a game for two players a card that was not correct goes back under the card stack of the guessing player, the correct card is taken from his stack and set aside for a negative points; if you have fewest negative points at the end you win.

Kikerikimäh is another typical Adlung game – lots of fun with lots of information; does a snake have legs? If yes, what do they look like? Or what are the legs of a jellyfish like?  How do you imitate the walk of a dolphin? Laughter and eureka effect are guaranteed!
