Who among you has never played "Names, Things and Cities" at school, on a trip with friends or at an aunt's house with their brothers and cousins?
For a few moments of light-heartedness in these very special days, we at Iperbimbo offer you this game, perfect for young and old, as famous as it is fun and stimulating.
"Nomi Cose Città" is known throughout Italy but is also called in other ways such as "Names Fiori Frutta" or "Name Surname City", used especially in southern Italy.
"Nomi Cose Città" is also known outside our country: in English it is "Boy Girl Animal" or "Guggenheim", in France, however, it is called "Baccalaurèat" while in Spain it is "Alto el lapiz".
RULES
The game consists of drawing a letter at random, and writing the words that begin with that letter in the chosen categories. Among the most used categories we find: Personal names, Things, Cities, Animals, Fruits, Flowers and Plants, Singers, Nations, Professions, etc... .
The first player to finish covers their grid and starts counting for 20-30 seconds. When the countdown ends, all other players freeze and the scoring phase can begin.
To calculate points, all players sequentially compare the words they entered. Each word achieves a score ranging from 20 to 0 points, depending on whether the word is correct and all the other players have not found a word for that category, it is correct and the others are different, it is correct but equal to at least one other , is incorrect, or could not be found.
After scoring each word, add up all the scores in the current row and write the sum in the total column. After calculating the scores, a new letter is chosen at random and the game begins again.
The game ends when all the letters have been drawn and a certain number of games have been played. In the end, the scores of all rows add up and the player with the highest score wins!
Good fun!
