Schlag den Raab: Das Quiz (2012)

About this game

Schlag den Raab: Das Quiz is a board game based on a German TV show in which players have to compete in different challenges. In contrast to earlier Schlag den Raab games, these challenges are all card-based with no dexterity elements; the game includes more than two thousand quiz questions. The thirty challenge categories include guessing words whose letters have been jumbled, counting letters in words, spelling words backwards, guessing which movie a quote is from, mental arithmetic, drawing a song (so that others can guess which song it is), humming songs, and locating places (Germany/EU/world) on a map. The challenges are chosen randomly, and the players can score points in all of these games. After the predetermined number of challenges – five for a 45-50 minute game, ten for a 75-90 minute game, fifteen for a 100-120 minute game – has been played, the player/team with the highest score wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
