ALLES GESPIELT

Der Heidelbär

Wilde Wasser Edition

The bear is leaving trodden paths, after his excursion into woods and meadows he wants to chill out and is going for salmon fishing into the Wild Waters, or to be more correct, he goes on search for water animals who hide in words as he lives to do and which we should describe as best as we can, so that any of the other players guesses it correctly.

Cards with four terms each are stacked face-down, each player takes three cards in hand. The active player is told „upper“ or „lower“ and chooses a term accordingly from the upper or lower part of the card and puts the card face-down on the table. Then he describes the term with a sentence of 6 words, the first two of which must be “This Shark” or “This Eel” or “This Whale”. Loan words are allowed, but you cannot use translations or identical word roots. When the term is guessed you keep the card and win with most cards at the end.

You might have an EELaborate job to find an explanation for WHALEdiction comprising six words! And if people don’t understand what color you mean be SHARKoal black then you must tell them, it will be a non-EELectric shock to them The game is 100% language-dependent and great fun, try it out and find as many words as you can, you just need to get the pronunciation right, so EELections don’t really qualify, but ….! And yes, there are blank cards to fill in your words! And if you decide to use the German words, that would be an AALternative, too, and you can always fall back on the COW and BOAR versions or even on the BEAR itself when all those animals make you want change DEERections. I bet you never knew how many animals hide in our language!
