Celebrity Don't Get Angry is a game show produced by GRUNDY Light Entertainment . The moderators were Hella von Sinnen and Hugo Egon Balder . It was first broadcast on December 27, 2005 on Sat.1 . Another three episodes ran on December 28, 2006, October 31, 2007 and January 5, 2008.

Show concept

The show is based on the parlor game Mensch ärgere dich nicht . This is considered the archetype of all running games and is played in countless variations in many cultures around the world, for example in Great Britain under the name Ludo , in the USA as Parcheesi and in Switzerland as Haste with a while . The game has been canceled.

In the television version, four celebrity teams of four people each fight against each other on an oversized playing field. One celebrity has the function of the team boss, the other three are the "pawns" on the field who move according to his instructions. So-called action fields are also waiting for the celebrities. The four team bosses sit at a gaming table on the edge of the field. Whoever manages to be the first to bring all of their playing figures to the finish line wins the “Promi Ärgere Dich nicht trophy”, which is endowed with 10,000 euros. The cash prize goes to the audience in the studio who sit behind the winning team. The studio audience is divided into the four playing colors.

The game board consists of 32 playing fields, four of which are marked as action fields. The celebrities have to complete various activities on the central action area.

So-called catapult fields were introduced in the third and fourth editions of the show. If a player enters such a space, he may advance four spaces.

So that the celebrities can also be recognized as playing figures, they wear cone-shaped costumes, each in the color of their team (red, green, yellow, blue). The shape of these costumes is based on the well-known "hats" from the board game " Don't get angry" .

Rules of the game

At the beginning of the show, the captains put their teams together. To do this, they choose a player one after the other from a group of twelve celebrities. After the election, the teams go to a sofa in their corner and wait for the game to start.

One after the other, the team bosses roll one dice each time. Whoever rolled the highest number then begins to roll the dice. He has three attempts to roll a “6”. Only with the roll of a “6” can he place a piece on the starting field, roll the die again and move his piece forward by the number of points rolled in the direction of the arrow on the track. Own and foreign figures can be skipped, but the squares occupied are counted. If you have several pieces on the track, you can choose which piece to move on with. If you hit a square occupied by another pawn with the last point of your number, you defeat this pawn and place your own pawn on its place. Defeated players must go back to the sofa of their color. Own pieces cannot be captured, the team boss then has to move another piece, since only one piece can be placed on each space. As long as other pieces are waiting on the bench to be played, no piece of your own may remain on the starting field. She must clear the field as soon as she has the opportunity. The pieces that sit on the bench can only be brought into play with a "6" and thus placed on the starting field.

Special features of the dice number 6: If you roll a “6”, you always have another free roll. If he scores a “6” again, he may roll the dice again after moving. On a “6” you have to bring a new piece into play as long as you have pieces on your own bench. The new pawn is then placed on the starting field of your own color. If this space is still occupied by another of your own pawns, this pawn must first move on with the "6". If, on the other hand, there is a strange figure on the starting field, it is captured. If you roll a “6” and no longer have a piece on the bench, you can move one of your pieces on the track six spaces and then roll again. If you finish your last piece with a “6”, you don't need to roll the dice again.

Entering the house: If you have completed the entire career with a pawn, you move it to the target squares of the house of your color. The target fields are also counted individually as you advance. (For example, if you are standing in front of your house, you can only enter space a with a “1”, only space b with a “2”, and so on. Pieces can be skipped over.) You may not enter other houses.

End of the game: The team boss who was the first to bring all of his pawns into his house wins the game.

These rules largely coincide with the known rules of the game Mensch ärgere dich nicht .

The following additions were made to the TV show: There are “action fields” on the game board where surprises await the celebrities who have to endure them. These can be action games but also word games. If the celebrities pass these games, their team captain may roll the dice again. In a "power round", action fields become normal playing fields, that is, no actions take place. If a team has no figure on the field, the team boss may roll the dice three times to bring a figure back into the field with a "6".

So-called catapult fields were then introduced in the third and fourth editions of the show. If a player enters such a space, he may advance four spaces.
