PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Activity Lifestyle

Garden scissors as a pantomime!

 

The game mechanics in this latest version of Activity is the same as in all other versions of the game - you are tasked with getting your team to guess as many terms as possible to be first to cross the finish line with the team marker. For successfully explained terms you may move forward your marker by the number of points stated next to the term. The ways to present the term are the same as usual; you must draw, explain or give a pantomime. Each team draws a card. The first performer of the first team tries to get across the first term on the card with the method stated next to the term, When the term is guessed correctly, the marker of the team moves forward accordingly. When your own team does not guess the term correctly within the time frame given by the timer each team in turn has one chance to guess correctly. If it does so, this team can move its marker. When the term is not guessed correctly by any team, the task is forfeit. In turn the first performer of each team presents the first term on the card, then another player presents the second term and finally yet another player the third term on the card. Then a new card is drawn by each team. The terms on the cards come from the topics of Food, Cooking, Indulgence, Fine Art and all beautiful things in life - all in all there are 900 terms from Eyelash Curler, Full-Body Scanner to Miso Soup and pantomimic representation of a Sticky Tape to Spurdog and Fuel Gauge.

As all previous edition this one, too, is an attractive mix of terms, is fun and a challenge for hidden talents to perform a pantomime of a Picnic Basket!
