El Macanudo (2015)

About this game

9 cards are drawn into the board. One player also picks a category. Every player mentally select one of the pictures in the board and write a word or phrase that describes the picture. You must write something related to the category. Then the first player reads its word or phrase and the rest try to guess the picture that he has selected. If nobody or everybody finds the correct card, the storyteller scores 0. Otherwise the storyteller and whoever found the correct answer scores 1. Repeat for the next player, until all the players have read their phrase. After that, you discard the 9 cards on the board a draw another 9 cards, until somebody reach the winning score.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
