Singstar Das Brettspiel

Ring of Fire for an Oldie

 

Alone or in teams you sing songs according to specification. The board is set up according to your choices. Your marker should work its way around the board from amateur to wannabe to advanced, starlet and singer to the Singstar finish spot. You always have to complete the task according to the location of your marker. Task in this game relates to the number of players and the performance itself; you might have to sing alone or in a team or a duet or in a duel against another team. You turn the spinner to determine a category - Singer, Hit, Rock, Female Singer, Pop, German Song, Band, Oldie or English Song - and draw a Song Card for a cue according to the level of difficulty agreed on at the start of the game.

You choose a song that has not been done before in this game, either corresponding to the category or to the cue in one of the four languages; the song must only fit either the category or the cue! Now you perform the song according to the task. The refrain or one verse of the song is sufficient, you can improve the performance with movements; the more individual and groovier you can manage the better, because at the end your performance is judged. All players not involved show there score card; one card with the best score is deleted and then you move your marker on the track accordingly. If you reach the finish first by reaching the Singstar spot or if you are in the lead at the end of the game, you win.

This funny and well-made idea works as well in a family as it does for big groups and enthusiasm is more important than singing abilities, but you should know some songs!
