Papers: a simple game for tonight

Hello! I was already 3-4 people asked what to play without buying an expensive game. Directly with the company, right on the new year . Below I save you 990 rubles.

So, everything is simple. You will need to connect to dzen.yandex.ru or lurkmore.to/Service : Random . Or any other source of random and sufficiently clear words. Now you need to make 36 leaves with these words and put them in an opaque package, and then mix. And still need a timer for 30 seconds, for example, on the phone.

Now we break into two teams. In each - at least two people.
')

First round

Player 1 from the first team pulls a piece of paper out of the bag and silently reads the word. A timer starts - and this player starts explaining it to everyone else on his team. You can explain as you please, but not with consonances, translations, rhymes or single-root. The team guessed it - gave them a piece of paper, and then took the next one from the package and tried to explain it. The timer is over - threw an unexplained piece of paper back into the bag.

Example of a turn in the first round:

- There is an admin, there is a moderator, there is a normal ... who?
- User?
- Yes. So, now such a thing that I get when I type a domain name.
- DNS server?
- Yes, no, well, a page.
- Site?
- I guess. Now, remember Steve Ballmer, well, did he repeat that word several times in a speech? Only it is necessary in Russian ...
- Time!
Total: 2 words guessed (user and site), one thing - no.

When the package becomes empty, we count the number of pieces of paper in the team - these are points. We write them down, again we put all the pieces of paper into the package (the same ones) and start the second round.

Second round

It is necessary to explain with gestures, without words. Since the words are the same ones that you or your opponents have already explained will be quite simple. Same 30 seconds. I can not explain - you can throw one piece of paper back into the bag and take a new one.

The player shows as if shooting a machine gun.
- Kalashnikov automatic! Not?
The player shakes his head: "no."
- Oh, turn!
The player makes a move as if something is turning.
- Ahhh, stack!
The player nods.

Again, we count points, adding to those already gained in the first round.

Third round

We explain how much we have time in 30 seconds in one word (again - not a translation, not one-root, not rhyme or consonance). They said the second - lost the turn, as if the timer was over.

- Accounting.
- Girls ... Users!
- A long.
- Python!
- Kodit.
- Developer!
- In folder.
- Two words, move the course!

We count points and who wins more wins .

Here are a couple of rules:

• Each of the team players must explain in turn. That is, one that constantly explains, and the others guess, should not be.
• A new round starts the team with less points. If there are an equal amount of points, that is the command to which the move would have passed if the papers had not run out.

Everything. I only saved you 990 rubles per box, because you now know how to play BOOM . There, by the way, there are more complete academic rules in PDF - this is if you argue about some point. Thank you, please. If you have a pen and paper, you can even play on the train.

If you suddenly get together in an IT company, then here is a quick selection for 36 cards based on the most frequent words of Habr from this study:


But usually it’s much more interesting and at times more useful to play by characters, so here’s another ready-made collection with scientists (in fact, this is the meaning of the box being sold - you can learn many useful things during the game):


PS Yes. Another option to generate words - just ask the subject and ask everyone to make 3-4 cards on their own. Just avoid banal words, otherwise there will be a lot of repetition. For example, I once played in the company on the subject of "IT-characters", so we had 2 Steve Jobs, 3 Bill Gates and 2 - suddenly - Mizgol.

Happy holidays!
