Freeze (2010)

About this game

In every round of Freeze (aka Bühne frei!), four players enter the stage together and improvise a scene in a situation only they know. Each of them knows their personal rank among the actors (1-4), but no actor knows the rank of another. The actors must act out their rank within the scene so obviously that the spectators can guess it. But do not fear: There is no need to have studied acting in order to win at Freeze. Just react to what the others are doing in the 45-second-long scene – or laugh yourselves away, no matter whether you are spectator or actor...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 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.
