Game Idea
T

f
clothing or activities. The player forms a crazy sentence based on what is shown
and has to memorize it. One b
y
one, new picture cards are turned over and placed
accor
d
ing to t
h
eir category. In t
h
is way t
h
e sentences c
h
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
co
ll
ecte
d
t
h
e most picture car
d
s at t
h
e en
d
wins t
h
is craz
y

How to Play
P

in a clockwise direction. Whoever is the quickest at sa
y
in
g
“Good
g
oats
g
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
ace down on
t
h
e correspon

in
g
picture car
d
in t
h
e row – co
l

or activit
y.
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

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
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
d
.

I
n this case the pla
y
er whose sentence has been questioned
g
ets the card

rom
the to
p
of the
p
icture
p
ile as a reward.
A
f
ter that the
f
our picture cards o
f
the row are turned back over and the
pla
y
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
f
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
y
our wor

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
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

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
.
The complex sentences Fex variation

g
or
y
or in t
h
e new
l
ocation. You
can now
f
orm the craziest sentences. The only condition is that the sentence is
composed of all fi ve elements and in the order the
y
are laid out.

Your sentence could go:
