Objective
The goal of "Kennen Sie Di?" ("Do You Know Di?") is to accumulate the most points by correctly answering questions from various categories. Each question relates to a famous person, action, or event and requires either deductive reasoning or existing knowledge of the players.
Setup
- Materials Needed:
- Game board
- Sets of question cards in various categories
- Player tokens to mark progress on the board
- Scorecard or pad to keep track of points
-
A sand timer or timer device
-
Initial Setup:
- Place the game board in the center of the table and prepare the question sets.
- Each player chooses a token and places it on the "Start" space on the board.
- Shuffle the question cards well and draw the top card.
Gameplay
- The game is played in rounds. Each round, one player draws a question card and reads the question aloud. The questions are divided into categories (e.g., History, Science, Pop Culture).
- All players (except the reader) have an equal opportunity to either note their answer or provide it directly depending on the rule variation.
- Each correct answer nets the player points, which are recorded on their scorepad.
- The player who drew the card discards it, and the next player in clockwise order becomes the reader.
Ending the Game
- The game ends when all questions have been exhausted or after a predetermined number of rounds.
- The player with the highest point total wins the game.
Special Rules and Strategies
- Bluff Strategy: In some question types, reading an alternative answer might be possible to mislead other players. This may be limited by special rules or tactical card modifications.
- Time Limit: To increase tension, each answering session can be under time pressure. A sand timer adds additional excitement.
- Teams: In larger groups, teams can be formed to deliberate and guess together.
Tips
- Try to listen carefully even if you do not know an answer; future questions or discussions might provide hints.
- Use your time wisely to think strategically, especially as you watch other players' responses.
