A word game built on hilariously literal German-to-English idiom translations.
Who it's for
Bilingual German-English speakers and language nerds who enjoy wordplay and idiom humor.
Not for you if…
You or your group aren't comfortable with both German and English, the wordplay depends on knowing both.
Vibe's take
Quick and giggly, half the fun is guessing wrong in increasingly absurd directions before someone lands on the real idiom.
That is the crowning! turns literal German-to-English idiom translations into a party game. Each card presents a deliberately clunky Denglish sentence, and you have to work out both the original German idiom it's mangling and the correct English phrase that actually means the same thing, nail both, and the card, and its points, are yours.
