Klattschen is a board game for 2–99 players and ages 16 and up. Its main mechanics are Open Drafting.
Klattschen is a drinking card game for two or more players. At the begin the 57 shuffeld cards will be placed in a circle (facedown). In the middle of this circle will be placed a empty glas called "Klattschglas". After that the players sit down around the cards. Every player needs a drink (alcoholic or not). Now the players draw one card after another and flip them faceup. On the cards stand instructions for the players to do. Also the three basic rules have to be observed: 1. It is not allowed to use the word "trinken" (drink). 2. It is only allowed to hold your glas in the left hand. 3. It is not allowed to curse. If a player disregarded the rules, he has to take a sip from his drink. There are four cards that give the instruction to fill a sip of your drink into the glass in the middle. If a player draws the last of these four cards, he loses the game and have to drink the "Klattschglas".
