Piatnik presents the perfect game box for ski vacations Cards, dices and a library of cheerful-crazy game ideas – this combination from the traditional Austrian games company Piatnik make your spirits run high in the snowy Alps. The brand new game collection “Hüttengaudi” features 20 of the best and most popular après-ski games in one box – and can surely compete with Spaetzle and Cheese when it comes to end a day of busy skiing. Homely play fun It’s up to you, whether you play “Hüttengaudi” at home, at your friend’s house or actually at the mountain lodge. But the box will always provide loads of play fun and a convivial get-together – all around the so-called “Gaudipunkte“, the points losers score in each game. These points have to be worked off – and your fellow players decide how: by funny dancing, knee bending or kissing your neighbour’s forehead. Everything’s allowed as long as it doesn’t spoil the fun. All games are easy-to-explain, quickly-to-be-learnt and provide homely-entertaining and hot evenings at the lodge, until the ice is melting and the snow turns into dust. From classic to hearty Those who prefer classic games might start with one of the seven card games. However, names like “Mau Wau” and “Mogeln” reveal that also these are quite something. For “Kartenblasen” players have to try and blow one or more playing cards from the top of their drinking glass. Hearty are also the six dice games included. Although descriptions like “Spaß im Glas” (Fun in a glass) might be slightly misleading… here players have to put the dice into a drinking glass, shake it in turns and add the results until they reach a predetermined sum. And later, when the evening reaches its peak, the open fire slowly dies down and skiing instructors close ranks with their snow bunnies, you can switch over to the team games. To avoid “Handgemenge” (Brawls), start trying “Rippl Dippl”. Here you may wildly paint black dots into your fellow players’ faces – so-called “Dippl” – whenever they misspeak or miscount. When you are still able to react quickly and articulate clearly after a long evening, play one of the three communication games. “Obacht!” (Attention!) means describing or miming phrases and words, some of which are quite spicy, true to the motto: “Auf der Alm, da gibt's koa Sünd'!” (Up in the Alps, there’s no sin)
