Slap, clap and throw gestures across the table in rhythm to a Queen classic, without losing the beat.
Forget board, dice and tokens: this one lives in your hands. Everybody slaps their thighs and claps along to the beat of Queen's We Will Rock You, and each player holds a card showing a gesture, such as deer antlers, a thumbs up or thumbing your nose. Once the beat is steady, the starting player swaps one clap for their own gesture, then for somebody else's. That person has to repeat their own gesture on the next clap and throw another player's gesture onwards. Miss the rhythm or your cue and you get a fresh gesture card, while the player who threw it at you takes your old one, which makes their life harder. Part coordination test, part silly dance, best with a loud room of seven to ten.
Who it's for
You have a big, loud group of four or more who would rather clap and laugh than look at a board.
Not for you if…
You are a small or shy group, or anyone dislikes physical, performative games. Without a crowd and some noise it falls flat.
Vibe's take
Loud, physical and quickly ridiculous. The beat never stops, so your brain is juggling your own signal, the next target and the rhythm at once, and mistakes are the main source of laughs.
