Ο Κουβάς Description
Bucket is a board game, ideal for family and groups. The goal of the game is the unique moments of laughter and fun of the players, it is very simple in its rules and very quick to prepare. The bucket is the game that every company needed without knowing it...
Composition of Teams:
-The game is played with 6 to 20 players, who are divided into 2 to 4 teams. Each team can have from 3 to 5 players.
Preparation:
-Each player writes four names of celebrities or common acquaintances on their list and "throws them into the bucket".
Game Phases:
-In the first phase, the players describe the name that has happened to them, with a free description (no word limit).
-In the second phase, the players try to represent the name through pantomime.
-In the third and final phase, players give a single word description for the name.
-Each phase is divided into rounds with a predetermined time (30-90 seconds).
-Each phase starts with the bucket filled with names and ends when there are no more names left in it.
Game Rounds:
-In each round one player from one team tries to describe and his team guesses as many names as he can.
-When the team finds a name they get 1 point and that name comes out of the bucket until the end of the phase being played.
-Player can fold on any word.
-When the time is up, the points collected in the specific round are added and it is the next team's turn.
-The order of the teams is determined randomly, and every time one team's round ends, the next one plays in a circular fashion. The sequence never goes to zero! If the series is B-C-A and the first phase of the game ends in the round of team C, then the second phase begins with team A.
End game:
-The game continues until all the names in the bucket are used up in the third phase. Then the team with the most points is the winner.
Game example:
"Suppose we have 3 teams with 3 players in each team and 60 seconds for each round. They are teams A, B, C and players A1-A2-A3, B1-B2-B3 and C1-C2-C3.
First, each player individually should write 4 names on their list and "throw them in the bucket". Once the bucket is filled with 36 names the game can begin.
Let's say the order of our teams is A-B-C, so the game starts with player A1 trying to describe in free speech (Phase 1) to his teammates as many words as he can in 60 seconds. Once his time is up player B1 plays with his team, then C1 with his team, then A2, B2 and this is repeated until the words in the bucket run out. So suppose that Phase 1 ends at player B2.
All names are put back into the bucket and play continues with player C2 trying to pantomime (Phase 2) to his teammates as many words as he can in 60 seconds. As soon as his time is up, A3 plays and the rounds continue in a circular fashion until all the names are finished again. The same pattern applies in Phase 3 where players try to describe the names using only 1(!) word. The game ends when all names in the bucket are finished in Phase 3 and the team with the most points is the winner!"
The rules of the game are indicative and are subject to modification. At the end of the day, each group individually knows better than anyone else how they are having fun. Have fun!
