In this party game questions are answered without
speaking. The left hand means “no” and the right
hand “yes”. Which hand belongs on the bright red
heart in the middle of the table? One of the players
reads out a question. All the others must guess
the answer. The faster a player’s hand reaches
the middle of the table, the further down in the pile
of hands it will be and the more points it will get
– if the answer is correct. Those who choose the
wrong hand collect penalty points. This happens
quite often, as the questions are often formulated
in a rather twisted way, presenting the coordination
of brain and hand with a real, and above all,
fun challenge. The topics don’t just cover general
knowledge, but also refer to the other players.
How well do you know the people sitting next to
you? Hand on your heart!
Welcome to La Boca, a quarter of Buenos Aires
characterised by brightly painted houses. The
aim of this communicative construction game is
to recreate such colourful facades using ten to
eleven wooden blocks. Two facing players team
up to quickly solve this challenge. The special
clou of the game: the task card inserted into the
board displays a different view of the object to
be built to each player! The two players can discuss
and coordinate their work, but they are not
allowed to look at each-other’s side of the card.
An electronic timer measures the time needed to
complete the structure. The quicker the duo are
finished, the more points they get. The final result
is tallied up after all possible two-man teams
have taken the same number of turns.
* Our suggestion: 4 - 8 players
