The rules of the game:
For Time's running you need at least two teams with at least two players.
Sit in a circle, so that your teams always sit alternately and there is enough space so that you can't see the mobile phone in your neighbor's hand. 

Time's running is played in three parts. 
The time available to each player and the number of words per round can be set at the beginning of the game. We recommend 60 seconds and 30 words to get started.

Here we go, a random team begins.

The first part of the game is called "DESCRIPTION".
Here you explain and describe the word on the screen so that your team members can guess it as quickly as possible. 

Forbidden: Use parts of the word, translations into other languages, rhymes.

When your time is up you pass the phone on to the next player beside to you from the next team. Continue until all words (more or less successfully) have been paraphrased.

Second game section: "PANTOMIME"
You will now see the same words from the first part of the game again, but you will have to mime them in the hope that your team will quickly guess them.

Forbidden: Speaking, including sounds of any kind. Draw letters in the air, use things from the room or point at them.

When all your words have been fiddled, the...

third and last section: "ONE WORD ONLY"
Again you will get the same words that you should know well by now, and now you have to rewrite them with ONE word. 

Forbidden: Use more than one word ;)

If all words are paraphrased, the game is over. You can see who has won - and start the next round right away!

"Time's running - charade game" is a funny board game for your game evening or a short round in between. No equipment is needed: Whether with friends or in mixed groups, just play and have fun!

### 2/5 — Viel zu wenig Begriffe

*2021-12-31*

Wir haben das Paket für 99 Cent gekauft, weil die Testversion so wenig Begriffe hatte. Leider haben auch die Zusatzpakete nur 40 Wörter. Das nimmt den Spielspaß total, weil man nach 2 Runden schon alle Wörter kennt. 2 Sterne gibt es nur, weil alles andere gut ist und die App flüssig läuft.

### 5/5 — Immer wieder gut

*2021-01-08*

Klar; kennt man als partyspiel; funktioniert aber auch mega als App!

### 4/5 — Super Spiel aber...

*2020-10-09*

Top spiel, macht richtig spass!!!
Leider sind in den Sets nur sehr wenig begriffe. Dadurch wiederholen sich diese bereits beim 2. Spiel.
Auch bei dem gekauften Sets, kann man diese nur 2-3 mal spielen, bevor die Begriffe bekannt sind.

Wenn dies angepasst wird, werden es 5 Sterne!!!

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2020-01-31*

Macht Spaß, gerne mehr Sets

**Developer response:** Hallo Bayernboy,
vielen Dank für deine Bewertung. Wir planen zeitnah wieder neue Sets zu veröffentlichen.
LG von FPE

### 3/5 — Man sollte eine Pro version rausbringen

*2020-01-23*

Bitte um eine Pro version wo man keine Werbung mehr schauen muss. 
Und um einen Skip + Tabu button wenn man das wort nicht erklären kann oder ein fehler gemacht hat.
