Overview

Party-game where players have to answer questions, mime or draw objects with a "limp" pen...

In this party game, players move one of two hippo pawns over an 8-shaped track.The fields they land on determine the task they have to fulfill (for this, they also draw a card) - in most cases, the other players try to guess the word/phrase that was intended: - Draw an item with a wobbly pen - Take a sip of water and gargle the word - Group acting (together with one or more players they chose) Other tasks include - Reading out a text - now everyone in turn has to say a word connecting to the text within three seconds. Players who fail to do that are out of this task round; the last player "standing" receiving points. - Rolling a "poker" die. A saxophone means a five point chip and the chance to roll again. When a lemon is rolled, all chips of this round are lost. The player can stop rolling any time.

Each kind of field has its own scoring rules. The first player to score 100 points is the winner.
