Wunschmaschine

Nine wishes - which is the actual one?

Wunschmaschine has a wish that players must guess! 33 cards comprise three cards for each of nine wishes plus six combination cards, showing three wishes. One player embodies Wunschmaschine, the others are agents.

As Wunschmaschine you choose one card for the wish of the round, secretly, and sets it aside face-down. Then you place four cards openly in a row from the wishes deck. When the effectual wish of the round is visible on one of the four cards, Wunschmaschine says “something is there”; if not, you say “there is nothing here”. Then Wunschmaschine displays for more cards and again says “something” or “nothing”, and so on, until someone thinks that he has guessed the secret wish. Whoever wants to give a tip, touches the respective wish card in the display and then reveals the face-down effectual wish. IF you guessed correctly, you receive a coin from stock. If you are wrong, you give a coin to the player currently owning fewest coins; if you do not have any coin, all other players, including the Wunschmaschine, receive a coin from stock. The player giving the guess embodies Wunschmaschine for next round. Whoever is first to own five coins, wins the game.

In a variant, you must - depending on how often the card on which you want to give a guess, is present in the first three rows of four cards each - touch the wish with your left or your right hand -> with your left for one or three times, with your right hand for two or four times.

A nice deduction game with cards, in the tradition of Mastermind, a good family game as a filler, not too complicated and quickly played; the coin scoring stops players from giving wild guesses.
