About the game
Hand aufs Herz is an interactive party game using game play similar to Trigger!, aka Declic! Before the game begins, each player designates one hand to mean "true" and the other to mean "false". One player reads off a question, then everyone races to place her hand on the plastic heart in the middle of the table. Which hand? Well, that depends on the question! Each card has four questions that are linked in some way, so one question might ask about the relative height of all players, the second might be a negative question about shoe size, the third about the players' weight, and so on. Players score – or lose – points depending on whether they answered the question correctly and which hand they used. The closer someone is to the bottom of the hand stack, the more points they'll score – or lose!

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 Hand aufs Herz is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hand aufs Herz for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Hand aufs Herz has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
