Game Review

TRIGGER!

Trigger! is a party game testing your reaction and coordination abilities. The game is easy to learn and provides a vivid atmosphere with lots of laughter.
To prepare the game, a plastic disk is placed in the center of the table and each player marks one of his hands "true" and the other "false" (or one can say that the right hand is "true" and the left hand is "false").
In a turn, a question is read out loud and all the players have to answer with "true" or "false" as fast as possible, using their hands. For instance, if the answer is "true", one places his right hand on the plastic disk, as such creating a pile of hands on top of the disk. Please mind that the answer to the question might vary as to who the question is referring to.. Mind that once you've put your hand, you cannot change your answer.
Once all players have answered the question, i.e. have placed one of their hands on the pile of hands, scoring begins. The upper hand scores +1 point if its answer is correct or -1 point if its answer is incorrect. The second hand (from the top) will score +2 if its answer is correct or -2 if its answer is incorrect, and so on. For instance, in a 8 player game, the lower hand (on the plastic disk) scores +8 points for a correct answer or -8 points for an incorrect answer.
Players really have to take risks to improve their score, answering quickly and so having their hand smashed similar to playing "slap Jack."

The game ends as soon as a player has scored a specific number of points, e.g. 30 points in a 8 player game.
We recommend this game for players 8 and up.
