Commando Pimperle

This time I want to present you an easy to learn game that you can play with small and big groups of people of any age.

Commando Pimperle is a reaction game for an unlimited number of players.

In the beginning the players choose a game master. Now all player gather around the table and the game can start. The game master starts to give the following commands and the players have to follow them as fast as they can:

1.Pimperle: you bounce your index fingers on the edge of the table until the next command. 

2.Flat: You place your hand flat on the table. 

3.Edge: You place your hand vertical on the table

4.Goat: Here you place your fingertips on the table, but your palm stays up in the air. Both hands have to do it separately on the table. 

5.Double-Goat: You do the goat position from before, but this time you put your hands on top of each other. 

The only rule is that you are not allowed to follow the instructions of the game-master as long as the game master is not saying “commando” before each instruction. 

These are the basic rules. You can now choose which variation you want play. One is the typical “last man standing”, here the ones who are doing a mistake are getting kicked out and the last person without a mistake wins.

The other variation is with a fixed number of rounds, here you get penalty point for each time you are doing a mistake and after for example 10 rounds the person with the least amount of penalty points wins.  I hope you will enjoy this great game.
