All cards are from the game drum. DIY board games

I would like to show you a board game that appeared here quite recently (more precisely, yesterday). But yesterday I couldn’t tear my youngest daughter away until the night.
We got the game thanks to one wonderful mother from Klumba http://klumba.com/users/25980/

Board game Drum (GeistesBlitz)

The board game Drumstick is a product of TM Zoch Gmbh (Germany). The distributor of the game is the Russian "Lifestyle Company"
The game is designed for 2-8 players from 6 years old
The game is packaged in a small box made of hard, high-quality cardboard. Box size 13*13 cm. On the back there is a brief summary of the game

Inside the game there are game rules in Russian, 5 wooden objects for the game (Drum, chair, bottle, book, mouse) and a deck of 60 cards

Background and purpose of the game

In very old houses there live ghosts, but not terrible ones, but very kind ones, with their own harmless hobbies. So, for example, Drum engages in photographing various objects. Most of all he likes to photograph a chair, a book, a bottle, a mouse and himself. But sometimes in photographs these objects turn out to be a completely different color from what they really are, that is, instead of red, a chair can be gray, blue, green, and even white, like the ghost itself. The same miracles happen with other objects. So Barabashka needs the help of players, who can be from two to eight people, starting even from the age of six and without maximum restrictions
Do you want to help Barabashka? For the correct item to disappear, you must grab it very quickly! you just need to figure out which subject is correct!!

So, the correct items are:
- Red chair
- White Drum
- Blue book
- Green bottle
- Gray mouse

Now there is a deck of 60 cards, on which Barabashka photographed all these objects:



But, attention!!! In the first photo, for example!!! Our original bottle is green! And on the cards there are also white, red and gray bottles depicted/“photographed”. And besides the blue book, there are also red, white, and gray books.

Before the game, it is necessary to place all five objects in the center of the table so that the participants can easily reach them. Then thoroughly shuffle the deck and place it face down side by side. Now we are ready to help the unlucky ghost. One of the players reveals the top card, and everyone tries to determine which item is hidden on the card and get it before the others.





There may be two options:
- One of the objects shown on the map matches the color of the corresponding object in the center of the table? Then, without hesitation, we grab a suitable object (photo 3 - green bottle, photo 4 - blue book).
- There are no objects on the map, which would simultaneously match in color and shape with any object in the center of the table? Then we need an item that, firstly, is not on the map. And secondly, the color of this item is missing on the map (photo 1 - red chair, photo 2 - green bottle).
Once we have identified the item we are looking for, we grab it without hesitation. But take care of your hands, as there will be many people willing. But remember, you only have one try! If you are right, you can take the current card and place it in front of you. If you make a mistake, give one of your cards to the participant who chooses the correct item. If all participants made a mistake, then everyone must give up one of their cards. These cards, along with the open card, are placed under the common deck.
After the deck of snapshots runs out, the player with the most cards wins.

Admit it, when you play with your child, you're getting bored. Not always, of course, but it happens. After all, we adults strive to play games that interest us.

But our children do not always meet our expectations in play, and instead of an exciting competition, we have to play along with them so that they don't lose interest and run to the TV.

Or another situation. The child flatly refuses to play something, for example, , and you have to follow him and whine: “Well, play Rummy with me, and then I’ll play with you.” Do you want some candy? Two? Then we’ll play some more.”

I think this is a familiar situation to you.

Make friends with the game “Drummer” - and you won’t have to play along with your child, he will still beat you.

"Drum" (Geistesblitz) is an inexpensive game. Price as of December 2014 approximately 850 rubles.

Place five items in the center of the table:

- red chair,
- blue book,
- green bottle,
- gray mouse,
– a white drummer (this is such a cute ghost).

Don't worry, they are all included.

The presenter takes one by one from a stack of cards (60 pieces) and places them on the table face up. What should I do?

We urgently need to grab:

1) exactly the same object of the same color,

2) if on the card none of the drawn objects match the color of the objects on the table, then you need to strain your brains and grab the object that is NOT depicted on the card and of a color that is not there.

Let me explain with examples.

Figure 1

FIGURE 1. From left to right:

– gray mouse and red book:

we grab the gray mouse because it is the same color as in the picture,

– blue bottle and red drum:

nothing matches in color, so we grab not a bottle, not a drum, not blue, not red, but grab a gray mouse,

– white chair and green bottle:

grab the bottle

– red mouse and blue bottle:

we grab not red, not blue, not a mouse, not a bottle, but grab a white drum,

– blue drum and green mouse:

We grab not the blue, not the green, not the mouse, not the drum, but we grab the red chair.

Figure 2

FIGURE 2. From left to right:

– green mouse and red book:

we don’t grab a mouse, not a book, not red, not green, but we grab a white drum,

– blue bottle and gray drum:

we grab not a bottle, not a drumstick, not a blue one, not a gray one, but we grab a red chair,

– red drum and green book:

we don’t grab the drum, we don’t grab the book, not the red one, not the green one, but we grab the gray mouse,

– red book and gray bottle:

not a book, not a bottle, not red, not gray, but grab a white drum,

– blue book and white bottle:

not blue, not white, not a book, not a bottle, grab the red chair.

The one who correctly grabbed the piece receives a card (the piece returns to the table again for the next grab). If you grab it incorrectly, you give back one of the cards you’ve already earned. The one with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

Noise, laughter and a short pleasant pastime are guaranteed!!!

Ghosts living in ancient houses are not scary at all and nothing human is alien to them. They even have their own hobby. For example, the ghost from the board game Geistesblitz loves to photograph various objects.

A wild but cute ghost frolics with a camera. The ghost took dozens of photographs of his favorite things: a chair, a book, a bottle, a mouse and himself. Imagine his surprise when in many of the photographs the objects turned out to be the wrong color! You'll have to help the unlucky ghost and figure out which things were photographed correctly and which were not.

How not to confuse a book with a chair? On the table in front of the participants in the board game Geistesblitz there are five multi-colored objects: a red chair, a blue book, a green bottle, a gray mouse and a white ghost figurine. The lead player holds a deck of cards with different combinations of items and reveals one card at a time. The players' task is to grab the item as quickly as possible...

...which is exactly the same as on the open card. For example, a card with a blue book and a white mouse is open (photo on the left) - quickly grab the book! The book is indeed blue, but the mouse is actually gray.

...no image or color of which is NOT on the card. For example, a card with a red ghost and a green book is open (photo on the left)... So you need to grab neither the GHOST, nor the BOOK, nor the RED chair, nor the GREEN bottle (all the characteristics written in capital letters on the card are already there)... Hurry up, grab the gray mouse!

The fastest and smartest player takes the winning card.

Grab or scream! The board game Geistesblitz can be made even more interesting. Just add a rule according to which sometimes you need to shout out their names instead of grabbing objects. For example, if there is a picture of a book on the card, all players should not grab the correct item, but shout out its name.

Ghostbusters and chairbusters. The board game Geistesblitz is an idea for lovers of dynamic board games; it is an explosive mixture of Set (mental decomposition of objects according to individual characteristics), Confusion (don’t believe your eyes!) and Wild Jungle (quickly grab it!). The game perfectly develops attentiveness, imaginative thinking and reaction speed. From two to eight players will be able to participate at the same time.

Equipment:

• 60 cards (photos);
• 5 items;
• rules of the game.

About the game

Geistesblitz, which is translated from German as brainstorm, and in Russia it was called Barabashka - an active board game that was originally created by the German company Zoch.

What to do

Barabashka is a wonderful ghost who took many photographs and now does not understand what he got in these photographs. It's up to you to figure this out.

Purpose of the game

The goal of the game is to select the desired item from the list, the properties of which will be indicated on the cards, or to identify an item that is in no way related to the current card.

During the game, you need to identify the main characteristics of objects - color and shape, learn to quickly analyze and compare matches to identify the truth. The game will help you and your friends develop your intelligence and reaction.

Drum- a board game for reaction. This game can be played by both children and adults, but it is most fun to play with a large, cheerful group. Simple rules will help you connect absolutely anyone, even a child, to the gameplay. By the way, children simply snatch cards from under the noses of their parents with lightning speed, depriving them of all chances of winning!

The box with the game is quite small, which makes it easy to take it with you on the road. If you like simple and fun games that do not require study large sheets rules, as well as games that last less than an hour, then the Drummer board game should definitely be your choice!

Components

The game consists of 60 cards and 5 items. The board game Barabashka can be played by two to eight people, and on average the game lasts about half an hour. Recommended age: from eight years.

Each item, according to the rules of the board game Drum, has two characteristics - color and shape, for example, a blue book has the shape of a book and is blue, a gray mouse is painted gray, etc. Our chair is red, the bottle is green, and Barabashka is white.

Card options

The cards show combinations of two items out of a total of five. Some of the cards have images that match in color and shape with one of the game items.

Example: a card with a red mouse and a green bottle. Here the image of the bottle completely matches both the shape and color of the object.

Another part of the cards are made in such a way that the colors and shapes of the objects depicted on them coincide with four objects and, accordingly, one object of which will be unique, that is, its color and shape will not be on the card.

Example: card with a picture of a blue bottle and a white book. The bottle here matches the shape, the Drum matches the color, the book matches the shape, and the mouse matches the color. The red chair remains, it is unique, since neither the chair nor the red object is depicted on the card.

Start

The goal of the board game Barabashka is to collect as many cards as possible, that is, to guess a unique item and thereby win the card being played. The game ends when the deck runs out.

In order to start the game, you need to lay out all 5 game items so that all players can easily reach them. Next, thoroughly shuffle the deck and reveal the top card.

There are two conditions in the game:

First: the card is taken by the player who is the first to grab an object whose color and shape is on the card.
Second: the card will be won by the participant who is the first to choose an item whose texture and color is not present on the card.

If someone took the wrong item

It is not uncommon for several players to grab an item that is not intended by the card. In this case, the winner of the round, according to the rules of the board game Barabashka, takes the card, and the players who took the wrong item also give him one of their cards.

If none of the participants guessed the item, everyone throws one card into the general discard.

End of the game

After the deck is finished, all participants count the number of cards and the one with the most becomes the winner.

The topic of board games is the most interesting for me. And just as my daughter became involved in this world, the phrase “board game for children” began to appear regularly in my search engine. And I really understand that I’m “rummaging around” here - I keep an eye on new products, ask my friends for their opinions and run to buy all the most interesting things! So it is with Barabashka from the lifestyle company (Geistesblitz - Zoch Zum Spielen). I saw it, read it, asked and “yay” bought it.

Where is the world heading? The drumming ghosts have already learned to take photographs! True, such a thing was photographed that now it’s impossible to deal with the fire during the day! Only by turning on reaction and attentiveness, and turning off logic, can you win at “Drums”.

The board game Barabashka is funny, dynamic, friendly and with simple rules.

Can be played by 2 to 8 people. The main components of the game are 5 cute wooden figures and cards with pictures (which depict what Barabashka photographed). The main task of each player is to quickly grab the desired piece on the table.

At the beginning of each turn, one card is turned over from the stack of cards. It depicts two objects and two colors.

Basic rules of the game Drum:

• If the object from the picture and its figurine on the table match in color, then we grab it.
• If not a single object on the card matches the color of the figure, then select the desired figure as follows: exclude the drawn objects, and then exclude the colors depicted. As a result, there remains one single figure, neither the color nor the image of which is on the card. Now let's grab it.

The one who is the first to correctly grab the figurine receives a card as a bonus point.

The player who collects the most cards is declared the winner.

Drum is a very popular board game. She has sequels - Baramelka, with whom you can team up, and the more complex Barbaron.

My daughter found this game under the Christmas tree and since then we haven’t put it away. The game is high quality, well thought out, the rules are easy and explained in two sentences. Quickly grab the right item and you will win! The logic is simple - either it is an exact copy of what is in the picture - shape and color, or it is an object - the shape and color of which is not in the picture.

The easiest way for my 4-year-old to find exactly the same object, even I don’t have time to analyze it yet, and she’s already holding a winning red chair or a white drum in her hands. It’s more difficult to teach how to thoughtfully weed out the wrong objects, so she seems to reason everything correctly, but often takes the wrong object, and you begin to analyze it with her - so she understands everything, but succumbs to impulse and passion. For a 6-year-old child, of course, it will be much easier. But I can also play with mine I'll be right sometimes I hear my brain boiling and it can’t help but make me happy. The figures are made excellently, the only thing is that the wooden mouse could have been made grayer, and blue They are bluer in the pictures, otherwise they can easily be confused.
