Game of the year 2017: recommendation list

Dodelido is a card game by Jacques Zeimet that was published by Drei Magier Spiele in 2016 . In 2017 the game was included in the jury's list of recommendations for Game of the Year . In terms of playing style, it is very similar to the game Tarantel Tango , which was released in 2009, as well as The nasty 7 , which was released in 2015 , both by the same author.

Style of play

The game Dodelido is about getting rid of your own cards as quickly as possible and reacting to one of your own cards, without making any mistakes. The game material consists of 105 cards, each containing 20 of the animal cards flamingo, penguin, turtle, camel and zebra, and 5 of the crocodile.

Game flow

At the beginning of the game, all cards are shuffled and evenly distributed to the other players, excess cards are removed from the game. The players each take their cards in their hands as a face-down pile, then starting with the starting player (according to the instructions, the youngest player).

The starting player quickly places the top card of his draw pile face up on one of the three discard piles and makes a statement about the card. The discard piles are served in clockwise order and the statement must always relate to the feature that occurs most frequently in the three displays.

The following announcements are possible in the event of a match:

  1. Color : If at least two animals match in color, the color is announced.
  2. Species : If at least two cards show the same species, the species is named.

If there is a match in both the animal species and the color, the characteristic that appears more frequently on the three cards counts. If both features are present equally often, the player says dodelido! .

If there are no matches in color or animal species, the player says nothing! , this also applies to the first card played. If the turtle is part of the match or the display does not match, the announcement is preceded by an ÖH to indicate the slowness of the animals. If a crocodile appears in the display, all players must hit the card (to drive away the evil animal); the player who reacted last and whose hand is accordingly on top loses the round.

Whenever a player makes a mistake or takes more than three seconds to make his announcement, he gets all the cards on display and has to add them to his hand pile. This also applies to the player who reacted most slowly to the crocodile. Then the player who had to take the cards begins the new display.

The winner of the game is the player who first played all cards in hand. He ends the game with his last card.

Expenses and reception

The card game Dodelido was developed by the Luxembourg game author Jacques Zeimet and published in 2016 by Drei Magier Spiele , the children's game brand of the Schmidt Spiele publishing house , for the International Game Days (Spiel '16) in Essen. The card and game design comes from the game illustrator Rolf Vogt . The game was first published in a multilingual version in German, English, French and Italian, in 2017 a version in French was published by Gigamic.

Dodelido was included in the jury's list of recommendations for the Game of the Year 2017 and, according to the recommendation, creates a "beastly mood - in the truest sense of the word!" According to a review in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, "the Luxembourg game writer Jacques Zeimet probably succeeded in the funniest and stupidest concentration and reaction game of the season."
