About the game
Based on the popular series of books on German grammar by Bastian Sick, "Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod". Playing as a group, in pairs or as individuals, players attempt to navigate the maze of German language by answering questions on grammar. Movement around the board is limited by the players' confidence in their answer (50-100%). If they answer correctly, they may move forward, but a wrong answer sees them moving back.
