and has to memorize it. One b

eir category. In t

h

is way t

h

e sentences c

ange over an

d

over again

and the pla

y

er whose turn it is has to recite it correctl

y

. Whoever thinks that a

sentence has been said incorrectl

y

snatches the

g

oat in the bow tie. If he was ri

g

ht

and the sentence is incorrect he receives a picture card as reward. Whoever has

in a clockwise direction. Whoever is the quickest at sa

y

in

g

“Good

roove,

giggle and gallop to the grange” starts and draws the top card from the picture card

p

ile. Have a good look at it. Show it to the other players and place it

f

T

he sentence now changes. Integrate the information from the new card into the

sentence an

d

announce t

h

e new sentence

.

Example:

ENGLISH

19

The sentence was:

The blue beaver wearing high heels jumps on the trampoline.

Tim draws a new card and shows it to everybody. The card shows the octopus.

Tim places it face down on the animal card and says the new sentence:

“The blue octopus wearing high heels jumps on the trampoline.”

Then it’s the turn of the next player to draw a picture card from the pile.

W

atch

out

:

A

n

y

bod

y

who thinks that the announced sentence is wron

g

rabs the

g

oat pla

y

ﬁ

gure. Then you check the sentence. Turn over the four top picture cards of the

row and check.

Was the sentence reall

y

incorrect?

• Y

es

?

The pla

y

er who questioned the sentence

g

ets the top card on the picture card

p

i

l

e as a rewar

I

n this case the pla

A

f

ter that the

f

our picture cards o

the row are turned back over and the

pla

ﬁ

g

ure returned to the center of the table and the

g

ame continues as

d

escribed

.

End of the Game

T

he game ends as soon as the last card of the picture card pile has been placed.

If

a pla

y

er questions the last card, a picture card o

f

the row is

g

iven as a reward.

T

he player who collected the most picture cards is the best memorizing fox and

wins the game.

Hint:

T

he game gets trickier if not all four picture cards are turned over if a sentence

i

s questioned. Whoever questions a sentence has to indicate which part o

the

sentence is wrong an

The Fex confusion variation

The cheek

y

Fex phrase fox comes up with new tricks over and over a

g

ain, thus

c

onfusing the players and challenging their memory skills

.

The variation is pla

y

ed accordin

g

to the rules o

f

the basic

g

ame but with the

a

dditional Fex confusion cards. Shufﬂ e the

p

icture cards with the Fex cards. When

a

Fex card is turned over somethin

g

craz

y

happens.

The FEX effect

F

ex is so smart! He tries to outwit

W

hat color was the animal in the last round? First you must walk backwards

round the table be

f

ore

y

ou can sa

y

our sentence. But not onl

y

that! Fex also

encourages the other players to distract you by making lots of noise. If you are

able to concentrate solel

y

on the task even Fex will have di

iculties con

ENGLISH

22

T

hese are the Fex cards:

Color card Fex/ Animal card Fex

Instead of the color/animal of the to

p

card of the

c

orresponding pile you have to integrate the color

/

animal o

f

the last but one card into the phrase.

I

f there is just one color/ animal card there, the

c

on

f

usion card is returned back under the picture

Im

p

ortant hints for the Fex confusion cards

:

• The Fex confusion card is only valid for the player who draws it from the pile.

The next player has to announce the “normal” sentence.

• Fex confusion cards are returned to the

g

ame box once the

y

have

been played with

.

or in t

h

e new

l

ocation. You

can now

composed of all ﬁ ve elements and in the order the

y

are laid out.

Your sentence could go:
