Tadaaam! (2010)

About this game

Tadaaam! is a revision and repackaging by Cédrick Caumont and Thomas Provoost of the earlier Split Personality. The most obvious change is that Tadaaam! comes in a big box (Monstermaler was just a pad of paper), with cards to suggest people, and now also objects and animals, that players independently draw right and left halves of with pens on wipe-clean boards to make one recognisable picture. The pictures are then revealed and the players guess what those they didn't draw are intended to be. Along with revisions to the basic rules there are now easy, normal, difficult and character categories of things to draw and a spinner which adds one of six additional challenges to drawing: with the ear on the table, blind under the table, with the "wrong" hand, without the thumb, et cetera… Re-implements: Split Personality

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 9.
• 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.
