Description
Unusual questions and even more unusual answers. Tukaj nekaj smrdi is a fun bluffing game for larger groups, originally called Sounds Fishy. It's like a mix of The Chameleon and Balderdash.
How to play Tukaj nekaj smrdi
One player is the guesser. Everyone else gets their own fish and secretly checks which kind they are: one has the real fish, the rest are fakes. The guesser draws a card, shows the answer side to everyone except themselves, then reads the question aloud. The fake fish quickly make up an answer that sounds believable. The player with the real fish gives the true answer and tries to make it sound made up.
Once everyone has answered, the guesser flips the fish one by one. They score a point for each fake and can stop at any time. If they flip the real fish before finding all the fakes, they get nothing that turn. Other players score too: fake fish that stay undiscovered, and the real fish if the guesser flips it too early. Then the next player becomes the guesser. The player with the most points at the end wins.
Why you'll love it
- The true answers are so strange that they're hard to tell apart from the made-up ones.
- Every round is as tense as a bet: stop and bank your points, or flip one more fish.
- Everyone but one player has to lie, and that player has to tell the truth so it sounds like a lie.
- You don't need any knowledge. Imagination and a straight face count for more.
Who is Tukaj nekaj smrdi for
The game is for 4 to 10 players aged 10 and up and takes about 30 minutes. The rules are simple, and players like it best with seven or eight. It's a good fit for parties and for families who love laughing at made-up stories.
The game relies on the text of the questions and answers. This edition is in Slovenian.
