Board Game - Cockroaches in the Head. Job Interview

In this game, everything is not as usual: there is no time limit for explanation, two teams play simultaneously, and the same phrase can be shown, told, and drawn. Why such freedom? Because you are the cockroaches living in a person's head. Everything that happens next depends on the situation…

And the situation is as follows: a person has come for a job interview. Whether they can get the desired position and whether the employer's conditions will suit them depends on the cockroaches in their head… that is, on you!

How to play?

The team that starts the game rolls the dice and determines how they will explain the phrase:

If the dice shows 1 — one player from the team explains using mimics and gestures. During this, they cannot say any words, draw in the air, or point to objects around.
If the dice shows 2 — all team members draw. Each can draw on their sheet or everyone can draw on one. During this, they cannot write words and numbers on the sheet, nor talk or use gestures.
If the dice shows 3 — one player from the team explains orally. During this, they cannot name the words on the card or any derivatives. Using mimics and gestures and pointing to objects around is also prohibited.
If the dice shows 4 — all team members explain using mimics and gestures. During this, they cannot say any words, draw in the air, or point to objects around.
If the dice shows 5 — one player from the team draws. During this, they cannot write words and numbers on the sheet, nor talk or use gestures.
If the dice shows 6 — all team members explain using words. During this, they cannot name the words on the card or any derivatives. Using mimics and gestures and pointing to objects around is also prohibited.
Next, the team draws the top card from the first deck (all participants of the team can familiarize themselves with the content of the card), sets a timer for 1 minute, unless otherwise stated, and starts explaining to the members of the opposing team. If they fail to do this within the allotted time, the explaining team rolls the dice again — thus selecting a new method of explanation. The phrase remains the same.

As soon as the opposing team names the phrase exactly as it is written on the card, the results are summarized: teams move their pieces forward.

The game ends in two cases:

When teams have played out the entire situation, meaning players have used one card from all six situation decks. In this case, the team whose piece is further on the game board wins.
When one of the teams has reached the end of the game board. This team is considered the winner of the game. If no one has reached the end of the game board, replay the situation again.
