📖 About This Game

Immerse yourself in the world of the deaf. Forget all sound sensations for a while, guess and express familiar words only by sign language or lip reading. Cards about sign shows a guide picture of what the sign looks like and a brief description of the basic movement of the hands. On the Cards about lip-reading are written words from everyday life, knowledge and place names. Players play in teams. Each team has one colored pieces which puts on the start field on game board. The first playing team moves their piece to the first field with the sign-in picture. After that, one player from the team draws one card of their choice (heavier or lighter) from the respective deck of cards. The player performs a word (sign only with his hands). If the rest of his team guesses the word within 30 seconds, the team's figure is moved by as many fields as it was on the card (lighter 2 fields, heavier 3 fields). If the team does not guess the word or expression, it is moved forward by 1 field. After that, the other team plays and so on. During the game the pieces passes a fields with signing or lip reading. The team that reaches the finish line first wins. The game is not "just about winning" but about familiarizing the general public with sign language. This game contents 1 game board, 240 cards (60 about lighter variant of sign, 60 about more complex of sign) and 60 about lip-reading), 6 pieces and 1 hourglass.
