PLAYED FOR YOU

Hand aufs Herz

H comes between I and J

How often can you combine the elements of knowledge, assessment and reaction into a new game? Well, with Hand aufs Herz, at least, it has happened again!

A red heart is placed in the middle, and all players with the exception of the moderator of the round place both their hands on the table, around the heart. Now the moderator draws a card and reads out the first statement. Each player - of course not the moderator - decides instantly if the statement is correct and he wants to answer YES or if the statement is wrong and the answer therefore is NO. Accordingly you place your right hand for YES or your left hand for NO on the heart or on hands already there.

Then the round is evaluated: The statements on the card are colored, red for wrong, green for correct and black statements relate to the players, for instance „most of us have brown eyes“. Then each player who answered correctly, scores points: The lowest hand in the stack scores as many points as there are correct hands on the heart, the other ones always one point less according to position.

When the statement contains “I” this relates to the moderator, “YOU” relates to each player individually - “you and your right neighbor are blond”- and “WE” or “US” to all players, including the moderator. When all four statements on a card have been read, the round ends, and the moderator changes. Instead of noting the scores you can hand out cards for points.

Hand aufs Herz is a fast, cute, quick and witty new combination of well-known elements, the statements are a nice and really interesting mix of knowledge, guessing and personal information.
