Reverse Cardgame
606264524€8.99
Put your thinking skills to the test in this action-packed game! The funny and creative card game “Gegenteil-Spiel” is perfect for family evenings or parties. It requires you to think outside the box and find the opposite answer. In each round, one of the categories (question, action, reverse, word pairs, colour chaos, or flip) is chosen at random. The person whose turn it is reads one of the corresponding task cards, and the other players must try to find the solution as quickly as possible. However, in this game the aim is to find the opposite answer! For example, instead of answering “yes”, you should answer “no”. Instead of raising your hand you should lower it, and words which are read backwards must be named correctly (i.e. read forwards). The first person to lose their 20 points by giving correct answers wins the game! The entertaining brain-teasing game “Gegenteil-Spiel” is designed for 3-6 players aged 10 and above, and is guaranteed to keep you smiling! One round of the action-packed game takes approximately 20 minutes.

Family games: Laughing and playing together
The best games are those that bring the whole family together. Whether on the road or at a cosy games evening: family games from Noris fill family time with laughter, sharing and fun.
What are family games?
When we talk about family games, we mean games that can be played together by the entire family. This can be a dice game, a card game or a board game – the variety is almost limitless.
Why should parents play games together with their children?
One thing is clear: family games bring numerous advantages. The reasons for playing games together are explained below:
Building and consolidating relationships
Playing offers many opportunities to strengthen the relationship with your child. Fun play leaves room for sharing and creates precious memories that the whole family will look back on fondly.
Intergenerational
Typically, family games are suitable for people of different age groups. This means that younger children as well as teenagers, parents, and grandparents can enjoy the games.
Maintaining tradition and cultural assets
We know that people have been playing games for thousands of years. So in this respect, family games also represent cultural assets and are a tradition worth upholding.
Useful and inexpensive pastime
Considering how many hours you can spend with the games without getting bored, they are a particularly good value pastime. The motto is: buy once, play again!
A change from the digital world
Digital media are part of most children's everyday life. Therefore, it is important to create a healthy balance, which succeeds with fun family games.
Promoting cognition, concentration, and language
The promotional effect of games for the family should not be underestimated. Depending on the specific game content, the products promote your child's cognitive abilities, language skills and ability to concentrate.
Learning through play
This means that playing and learning go hand in hand. Your child can experience that learning is fun – an important experience.
Promotion of emotion processing
And family games are also beneficial in terms of emotion processing. When your child is happy about a victory or angry about a defeat, they get in touch with their feelings and can explore them in a safe environment.
Developing an understanding of rules
By the time a child starts school at the latest, it must become accustomed to following certain rules daily. Ideally, the understanding of rules is promoted beforehand, for example with family games.
From what age are the family games from Noris suitable?
If you want to know from what age a game is suitable, you should look at the age recommendation. However, many family games can also be played by younger children, provided they are supported by an older sibling or an adult. Nevertheless, make sure that the game content is appropriate for children and their age! We would like to introduce some family games for different age groups here as examples:
Family games from six years: One Word
An excellent example of educational family games for ages six and up is One Word. We are dealing here with a word-picture search game that offers plenty of variety. The fun family game focuses on the clever selection of words and promotes combination skills as well as decision-making skills.
Family games from eight years: The big family quiz
The great family quiz invites you to put your knowledge to the test. With this family game for ages eight and up, you will face almost 800 multiple-choice questions from six exciting areas of knowledge and think carefully about when to use your jokers. Can you secure the title of ‘quiz king’?

Escape Room the Game: The Time Travel - Family Edition delivers puzzle fun and thrills for the whole family. Go through three detailed time travel adventures and uncover secrets before time runs out.

What should you look for when buying family games?
Are you planning to buy a game for the family? A great idea! To avoid making a bad purchase, you should make your choice with these aspects in mind:
Number of players, playing time and set-up time
Depending on how many players you want to play with, different products are possible. Also find out how long a game round lasts and how much time it takes to set up.
Fair odds
Place value on fair chances of winning! Ideally, the mere age of a family game does not increase the chances of winning, so that even the youngest player can win.
Conducive to learning
The best family game comes with one or two educational contents. Among other things, it promotes the ability to concentrate, trains numerical comprehension or gives your child the opportunity to improve its language skills.
Accessories
Can accessories be used for the game? Be sure to check the scope of delivery because not all accessories are always included.
Age recommendation
Also consider the age recommendation of the manufacturer. You can easily find this in the product description.
