Schlag den Raab: Das Spiel (2010)

About this game

"Schlag den Raab - Das Spiel" is a board game based on a German TV show. The players have to compete in different "mini-games", where they have to demonstrate knowledge and motor skills. Among those 36 "mini-games" there is one, where players have to point to cities as exactly as possible on an empty map. In another game, you have to drop an egg and catch it. A third game is about answering rather easy questions, that are really tricky if you have no time to think about it. So for example: How many vertex has a cube? A lot of people will answer 6 instead of 8. The "mini-games" are chosen randomly. The players score points in all these games. After the chosen number of "mini-games" is played, the one with the highest score is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
