Beskrivelse
Overtag det bedste værelse på plejehjemmet fra gamle Gertrude – alle kneb gælder!
Læg diskrete fælder for Gertrude, men skyd skylden på alle de andre, så du ikke mister Forstanderindens gunst.
På plejehjemmet Tusindfryd er det gamle Gertrude, der bebor Det Gode Værelse, mens I andre må nøjes med de kedelige kamre… mage til frækhed! Desværre er det Forstanderinden, der enevældigt bestemmer, hvem der får lov til at bo på Værelset, og Gertrude ér og bliver nu engang hendes yndlingstante. Men hvis nu Gertrude kom ud for et lille hændeligt uheld… så blev der jo plads til Forstanderindens nye yndlingsbeboer derinde. Du skal bare lige sørge for, at timingen er helt rigtig: Gertrude må endelig ikke stille tweedfutterne, før du er øverst i Forstanderindens anseelse.
Om natten lusker I derfor rundt på plejehjemmet og efterlader små ”overraskelser” (kort), som enten kan skade eller gavne Gertrudes helbred – eller bruger jeres tid på at skyde skylden for alle ulykker på de andre og tage æren for alt det gode selv, selvfølgelig!
Om dagen bevæger Gertrude og Forstanderinden sig rundt på hjemmet og reagerer på hver sin måde på kortene, så helbred og popularitet justeres. Præcis hvor de går hen afgøres af summen af alle spilleres beslutninger: Man kan enten bestemme hvor én af dem starter eller hvilken vej de går.
Et humoristisk spil i den lette ende, hvor ingen kan regne med at have fuld kontrol over udfaldet af nattens planlægning, og hvor det at forpurre hinandens planer er en del af legen. Særligt velegnet til spillere, der trives med lidt sort humor og godt kan lide at digte detaljer om, hvad det er for små ”overraskelser” der bliver efterladt i nattens mulm og mørke.
Take over the best bedroom at the retirement home from old Gertrude – dirty play encouraged!
Leave subtle traps for Gertrude, but blame the other residents so that you stay on good terms with the Matron.
At Merry Meadows Nursing Home, Old Gertrude lives in The Best Room™ while the rest of you must accept much less luxurious lodging… and you hate it. Unfortunately, the Matron alone decides who gets to live in which room, and Gertrude will never cease to be her favourite. But… what if something were to happen to Gertrude? Accidentally, of course! With the room free, the Matron’s new favourite would get to live there! All you need to do is to get the timing right: You must make sure that you are the Matron’s personal Number One the moment Gertrude kicks the bedpan.
So when night falls, you all sneak around the retirement home placing little ”surprises” (cards) that will either help or hurt Gertrude’s health – framing each other for the bad stuff and taking credit for the good! During the day, Gertrude and the Matron move about the nursing home, falling for the traps or revealing them, and adjusting people’s popularity accordingly! Exactly where they go is decided by the sum of all players’ decisions: Each player gets to choose either where one of the two starts or which way they move.
Old Gertrude’s Room is a light, humorous game where no one can expect full control of the outcome of their nightly shenanigans, and where thwarting each other’s plans is part of the fun. A particularly good fit for players who enjoy adding flavour by making up little stories about what kind of ”surprises” they leave for sweet old Gertrude.
