Board game combining several activities

Abstract

In its preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a game concept that combines different guessing techniques in a way that lets players choose the technique they wish to perform. Players are being given an opportunity to make their teammates guess several answers, and their total time for doing so is limited. Players therefore must make strategic choices regarding the technique they wish to use to make their teammates guess each answer. The game kit would typically include cards (FIG. 1) indicating an answer to be guessed (1), as well as a predetermined list of points (3) attributed to different guessing techniques (2). This card contents is intended to give the opportunity to a player to choose amongst the different techniques (2) in order to make his teammates guess the answer (1). If successful, he will obtain the predetermined number of points corresponding to the technique chosen (3) as listed on the card. In a typical round of play, a player would be provided with a determined amount of cards and would attempt to make his teammates guess the answers on these cards within a determined amount of time. For each answer to be guesses, the player would have the choice of the technique he wishes to perform. More difficult techniques for a given card give more points, but also usually take longer to perform, giving the player less time for the other cards to be performed. An important feature of the game is for the players to manage their time and choose their techniques wisely, in order to get the most points out of their cards before the time is up.
