Wanna Play: Fun games that are hot and cool
EDWIN WONG March 29
Fun. Cool. Engaging. EDWIN WONG introduces three games that will keep one on the edge of the seat.
SCHRILLE Stille (Zoch): If you identify more with Simon Cowell than the other American Idol wannabes, than this is the game for you. As head of a recording label, your job is to influence/predict the popularity of 14 artistes by secretly voting for bands you want to support. At the end of every round, the least popular artistes are removed a la American Idol.
It’s a fun game that gives you a taste of the ever-changing fortunes faced by recording artistes, and comes with one of the coolest game components ever — a wooden CD player that the DJ (dealer) uses to tally the votes!
Der Untergang von Pompeji (Zoch): As Vesuvius erupts and spews molten hot lava upon the unsuspecting citizens of Pompeji, players engage in a tense minute-by-minute mission to rescue their citizens from being the next victim! Check out the cool 3-D volcano!
Hamsterrolle (Zoch): A really fun dexterity game where players take turns to place objects on the wheel and try to move it in such a way as to cause one’s opponents’ objects to fall over. Finally, you get to experience life as a hamster!
