Frequently Asked Questions - Plapparagei Schmidt

How to set up a game of Plapparagei?

Shuffle all animal and papo-color cards. Deal an equal number of cards to each player. Place 2 color tokens in the middle: these colors will be forbidden. The other 3 tokens stay in the box. The youngest player starts.

What should you normally announce when playing a card?

Normally, announce the color of the animal of the card you just placed in the middle of the table.

What to do if the color of the animal is forbidden?

If one of the two forbidden colors matches the animal's color, announce the color of the animal's hat and not the animal's color.

How does the papo-color card work?

When you play a papo-color card, announce "Papo-" followed by a color that is neither forbidden nor present on the card in the pile. Then, exchange one of the forbidden tokens with the token of the color you just announced.

What does the speech bubble on a parrot mean?

The speech bubble rule takes precedence over all others: the player must repeat exactly what the previous player announced, unless it's a papoquet. If the first turn starts with a speech bubble, announce according to the normal rules.

What happens if two identical animals are played?

You must announce the species name (parrot, gorilla, or tiger) and not the color. If two parrots with at least one having a speech bubble follow each other, it triggers a papoquet.

What is a papoquet and how to react to it?

A papoquet occurs when two parrots are played and at least one has a speech bubble. All players must shout "Papoquet" as fast as possible. The slowest player takes all played cards and places them under their pile.

What happens in case of error or hesitation?

If you announce something wrong, hesitate for more than 3 seconds, stutter, or say "um", you must take all played cards and place them under your pile. You then start a new turn.

How to win the game?

The first player to get rid of all their cards finishes and wins the game.

Can you play with fewer than 3 players?

The game is designed for 2 to 5 players. With 2 players, the rules remain the same, but you must always form 2 discard piles in alternation.

Preparing for the game

Shuffle all of the animal and parrattle colour cards together. Deal out all cards equally to the players. Put surplus cards back into the box. Every player places their pile face down in front of them. Place 2 of the 5 parrot pawns next to each other in the middle of the table. These two colours are forbidden, but more about that later. The other three parrot pawns are left in the box. Also place the box close at hand in the middle of the table. The game is played clockwise. The youngest player begins.

Aim of the game

The aim of the game is to be the first to get rid of all of one's cards. The best way to do this is to make as few mistakes as possible with the tongue twisters. Anyone who says the wrong thing or takes too long to say it must take the cards from the centre of the table.

Playing the game

The player whose turn it is turns over the top card of their pile, places it in the middle of the table and says something without hesitating. Then it is the next player's turn and they do the same.

Important: you always form two discard piles regardless of the number of players. You discard alternately onto both piles.

What do you have to say?

1. Colour of the animal

Normally, if none of the other rules apply, you have to say the colour of the animal on the card you have just discarded.

Example: you play the right-hand card and have to say "yellow".

2. Animal colour is forbidden

A forbidden colour (parrot pawn is placed in the middle of the table) may not be called. If the animal on the card that you have played has the same colour as one of the parrot pawns placed in the middle of the table, you have to say the colour of the hat. You must not say the colour of the animal.

Example: you play the right-hand card. The green parrot pawn is in the middle of the table and therefore currently forbidden. So, you have to say the colour of the hat, i.e. "red".

Attention: a forbidden colour can only change when a new parrattle colour card is turned over (see section 4 Parrattle colour card).

3. Animal and hat colour are forbidden

If both the animal and the hat colour are forbidden, you have to cluck your tongue.

Example: you play the left-hand card. Red and green are forbidden, therefore you may call neither the animal nor the hat colour. You have to cluck your tongue once.

4. Parrattle colour card

If you turn over a parrattle colour card, you have to say "parra-" and a colour which is currently neither forbidden nor is shown on the open card of the pile. Then you swap one of the parrot pawns in the middle of the table with the pawn of the colour which you have just said. Now another two forbidden colours are being shown.

Example: you play the right-hand parrattle colour card. A blue animal with a red hat is face up. Blue and purple are forbidden. Now you have to say parrayellow or parragreen because

these colours are neither forbidden nor shown. You decide on parrayellow and swap the blue pawn for the yellow one.

5. Speech bubble rule

If you turn over a card which shows a speech bubble next to a parrot, you have to say exactly the same as the player before you because a parrot copycats everything that is said.

Attention: the speech bubble rule overrules all other rules. See the special case "Parrattle" in section 6.

Example: you play the left-hand card. The parrot has a speech bubble, so you prattle what the player before you said. The player before you said "yellow" according to the normal rules, so, you have to say "yellow" too.

Example: you play the right-hand card, a parrot with a speech bubble. The player before you said "parrared" so you also have to say "parrared".

Special case: if you start a round with a parrot with speech bubble, there is nothing to prattle. In this case, you have to say what has to be said according to the normal rules without a speech bubble.

Example: you play the right-hand card. You have begun a new round and have nothing to prattle. You say "blue" according to the normal rules.

6. Two identical animals

Tip for your first game

When you play Parrattle for the first time, leave this "two identical animals" rule out until all the other rules are working smoothly.

If you turn over a card which shows the same animal as on the pile next to it, you have to name the animal. The colour of the animal and the hat are irrelevant in this case.

Example: you play the left-hand card. Since both cards show a parrot, you must say "parrot".

Special case "Parrattle"

If two parrots are lying face up of which at least one has a speech bubble, this is a parrattle. It makes no difference whether you play the parrot with speech bubble, it is already face up on the table or both parrots have speech bubbles. A parrattle means that you do not prattle what the player before you said but all players are now addressed.

All players must say parrattle as quickly as possible. The slowest must take all the cards on the table and place them underneath their pile. They then start the next round.

Example: you play the left-hand card. There are now two parrots of which at least one has a speech bubble. Therefore, all players must now call out parrattle. The slowest player takes all the cards lying on the table and begins the next round.

If several players were equally slow, the pile is divided up between the players. The player sitting closest to the player who started begins the next round.

Mistakes

When you say something wrong, hesitate for more than 3 seconds, stutter or say eh, mmmh or something similar, you must pick up all the cards on the table and place them under your pile. You begin a new round by forming the first discard pile. The forbidden colours do not change.

End of the game and the winner

The first player to get rid of all their cards ends the game and wins.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line, which is a stylistic or background element (like a rule line on paper). According to Rule 2, such lines must be ignored by the OCR result. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of underscores. Underscores are not equivalent to a solid line and are not permitted under the “Stylistic/Background Lines (Ignore)” rule. Outputting underscores for a stylistic line is incorrect because it misinterprets the line as a fill-in-the-blank placeholder. Since the OCR output incorrectly rendered underscores for a stylistic line as underscores, this violates the rule. Therefore, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
