Elk jaar organiseer ik op mijn werk een algemene kennis quiz die bestaat uit een 8-tal rondes. Gezien ik spellenliefhebber ben, probeer ik er af en toe een vraag in te steken over bordspellen. Vorig jaar heb ik er zelfs een hele ronde ingestoken over bordspellen. Ik toonde de doos van het spel (met de titel afgedekt) en gaf er telkens een aantal tips bij. Gezien jullie allemaal spellenliefhebbers zijn, vermoed ik dat jullie de oplossingen ook wel vinden zonder de afbeelding van de doos. Bovendien zijn de tips allemaal in het Engels gezien ik in een bedrijf met zeer veel nationaliteiten werk. Ik denk dat dit geen probleem mag vormen?
Hieronder vinden jullie de 20 beschrijvingen van de 20 spellen, met eerst nog enkele tips die voor alle oplossingen van toepassing zijn.
Speciaal voor jullie heb ik er nog een extra puzzel aan toegevoegd. Indien jullie alle antwoorden gevonden hebben en jullie dan uit elk antwoord één letter nemen, krijgen jullie de uiteindelijke oplossing die jullie als ‘spoiler’ mogen plaatsen. Op deze manier heeft iedereen het plezier van het zoeken!
Omdat er oneindig veel mogelijkheden zijn, geef ik aan welke letter jullie uit elk antwoord moeten nemen en ook de juiste volgorde geef ik al mee. 7.6 wil bijv. zeggen: de zesde letter uit antwoord 7
