About the game
Tadaaam! is a revision and repackaging by Cédrick Caumont and Thomas Provoost of the earlier Split Personality. The most obvious change is that Tadaaam! comes in a big box (Monstermaler was just a pad of paper), with cards to suggest people, and now also objects and animals, that players independently draw right and left halves of with pens on wipe-clean boards to make one recognisable picture. The pictures are then revealed and the players guess what those they didn't draw are intended to be. Along with revisions to the basic rules there are now easy, normal, difficult and character categories of things to draw and a spinner which adds one of six additional challenges to drawing: with the ear on the table, blind under the table, with the "wrong" hand, without the thumb, et cetera… Re-implements: Split Personality

Questions and answers
Tadaaam! supports 4–9 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 Tadaaam! is 30 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 Tadaaam! for ages 8 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.
Tadaaam! has a complexity rating of 1.2 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.
Tadaaam! belongs to these categories: Humor and Party Game. Its main mechanics are Paper-and-Pencil, Team-Based Game, and Line Drawing. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Tadaaam! are: Friedemann Friese, Marcel-André Casasola Merkle, and Andrea Meyer. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Tadaaam! as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
