About the game
Aren't we all a bit DAWAK? Are you ready for more than 1000 crezy questions and tasks? Then this crazy party fun is just for you. Who wants to become Dawak champion needs to be fast and clever: Only the one who gives the correct answer first scores. Contents: A "punch" card that goes to the center of the table. 9 plastic pieces (3 forms/colors, 3 sizes) around them. And a stack of 107 quiz cards (double side, 4 questions and one Dawak section on each side). Players take turns as the host, who first rolls the die. On a roll of 1-4, he reads the corresponding question. A player who thinks he knows the answer has to hit the "punch" card in the middle of the table, and then he has three seconds to answer. The first player who gives the correct answer gets the card (max one answer per player) The last 2 sides of the die show the word "Dawak". The dawak section on the card tells what to do now. Often, the players have to grab a specific one or several of the plastic pieces in the center. In other cases, the host has to mime something, sum a melody, sing a song, or the like. The players have to regonize it to claim the card. Game ends when one player has collected 7 cards. He wins.
Questions and answers
DAWAK supports 3–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for DAWAK is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists DAWAK for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
DAWAK has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
