For a short run-down of the second stage of the game and its previous two minigames, click here and here. Today, I’ll tell you all about the third minigame: Charades with Sounds!
You start in the same way as the previous two minigames. You take the card and roll a D6 die to see which word (or sentence) you’ll get. If you roll a 6, you can choose which word (or sentence) you want. This time, when you have your word (or sentence), you have to perform it as you would with normal charades, but you can also emit sounds! Of course, that doesn’t mean you can talk. But, you can make sound effects that accompany your Charades moves.
That means that, for example, if you get the word bird, you can not only flap your hands like you have wings, but also chirp. Or, you know, emit whatever other sounds a bird would make. Yes, this is an incredibly simple example – don’t worry, the ones in the game are harder!
The addition of sounds adds a fun dimension to the usual game of Charades. It also opened up lots of new possibilities for us to use some fun words that couldn’t be used in just Charades. With that, it’s even funnier to see your friends not just trying to act out their words, but also struggling to add sounds to the mix!
The rest is exactly like with the other stage two minigames. Whoever figures your word (or sentence) out the fastest (or at all), moves a step ahead with you! If no-one figures out the word, it’s the next player’s turn.
