Hand aufs Herz (2012)

About this game

Hand aufs Herz is an interactive party game using game play similar to Trigger!, aka Declic! Before the game begins, each player designates one hand to mean "true" and the other to mean "false". One player reads off a question, then everyone races to place her hand on the plastic heart in the middle of the table. Which hand? Well, that depends on the question! Each card has four questions that are linked in some way, so one question might ask about the relative height of all players, the second might be a negative question about shoe size, the third about the players' weight, and so on. Players score – or lose – points depending on whether they answered the question correctly and which hand they used. The closer someone is to the bottom of the hand stack, the more points they'll score – or lose!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
