Koalaspies Games
What matters most
A talking game for one to four players.
- Pick a balloon. It turns over and shows a topic — anything from dogs to the rule of law.
- Talk about it. Press Start talking and keep going.
- Watch the clock. It counts to thirty seconds and stops itself.
- The room decides. The clock counts the seconds; the players judge whether the talking counted. Nudge the points up or down before awarding.
- The balloon is spent. It leaves the board. When the last one goes, the game is over.
| Keep going for | and you earn |
|---|
| 10 seconds | 1 point |
| 20 seconds | 2 points |
| 30 seconds | the bonus, 3–7 |
Harder topics pay more. It is the mark you reach, not the marks added up — 25 seconds is 2 points.
Playing fair
- Take it in turns — the scoreboard shows whose go it is.
- A long silence ends the turn; the others say when.
- Counting, listing the alphabet or repeating yourself is not talking.
- Stuck? Press Skip — the balloon still goes, but nobody scores.
