Gameplay
-
Starting Position: All players sit around a table and place their hands flat on it.

The Game Leader: One person takes on the role of the game leader. This person gives commands and monitors players' reactions.
-
Commands: The game leader gives various commands in succession, which players must carry out with their hands. The most common commands are:
-
"Pimperle": Players must tap the table.
-
"Kommando Pimperle": Do nothing, as this is a trick. Make sure no one taps the table.

Strategic Tips
-
Concentration is key in this game. Players should not be distracted by the speed or enthusiasm of the game leader.
-
A good tip is to listen to the emphasis of the words. "Kommando Pimperle" is often emphasized differently than "Pimperle", which can be a clue not to tap.
-
The game can be made more complex by introducing additional commands and their corresponding actions, increasing the challenge and fun.
Kommando Pimperle is a fantastic game for training reflexes and attention and is perfect for social gatherings.
