About the game
Trigger!/Déclic !? is a (French) party game testing your reaction and coordination abilities. The game is easy to learn and provides a vivid atmosphere with lots of laughter. To prepare the game, a plastic disk is placed in the centre of the table and each player marks one of his hands "true" and the other "false" (or one can say that the right hand is "true" and the left hand is "false"). In a turn, a question is read out loud and all the players have to answer with "true" or "false" as fast as possible, using their hands. For instance, if the answer is "true", one places his right hand on the plastic disk, as such creating a pile of hands on top of the disk. Please mind that the answer to the question might vary as a function of the number of players, the players itself, etc (see below). Mind that once you've put your hand, you cannot change your answer anymore. Once all players have answered the question, i.e. have placed one of their hands on the pile of hands, scoring begins. The upper hand scores +1 point if its answer is correct or -1 point if its answer is incorrect. The second hand (from the top) will score +2 if its answer is correct or -2 if its answer is incorrect, and so on. For instance, in a 8 player game, the lower hand (on the plastic disk) scores +8 points for a correct answer or -8 points for an incorrect answer. Players really have to take risks to improve their score, answering quickly and so having their hand smashed. To give you an idea of the questions, there are several types: Concerning the reader of the question (I am a man) Concerning the player (You have a dog) Concerning the environment/location (We play in a bar) General questions (King Kong was an ape) The game ends as soon as a player has scored a specific number of points, e.g. 30 points in a 8 player game. Additional rules for some variations are included (like changing hands and playing in teams). Reimplemented by: Hand aufs Herz

Questions and answers
Trigger! supports 3–8 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 Trigger! 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 Trigger! 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.
Trigger! 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.
