Frequently Asked Questions - Kakerlakensuppe Schmidt

How to play Kakerlakensuppe?

Players take turns flipping a card from their deck and must announce the corresponding vegetable. But if the same vegetable was just named, they must say another one. Cockroach Soup cards force you to slurp ("Slurp!") and block the pile. The first to get rid of all their cards wins.

How many players can participate?

The game is designed for 2 to 6 players.

From what age can you play?

The recommended age is ages 6 and up.

What is the duration of a game?

A game typically lasts 10 to 20 minutes.

What are Cockroach Soup cards (CSC)?

They are cards that show a cockroach in the soup. When a player plays one, they must slurp ("Slurp!"). Then, for each vegetable of that type, you must slurp instead of naming the vegetable.

What to do if you make a mistake (wrong name, stammering, hesitation)?

The offending player must take all the cards from the discard pile into their deck and start the new round.

Can you combine Kakerlakensuppe with other games?

Yes, it is possible to combine it with its predecessor Kakerlaken Salat by mixing the ingredients.

How to win the game?

The first player to discard all their cards wins the game.

What does the game box contain?

The box contains 112 Vegetable cards (mushrooms, leeks, chili peppers, carrots), 16 Cockroach Soup cards and a rulebook.

How to manage the two discard piles?

When a CSC is played, the following cards are stacked on a second pile next to it. When the pile changes, both CSCs are visible: players must slurp for the two different types of vegetables.

Idea and object of the game

The players cook a soup as quickly as possible by alternately discarding their vegetable cards. As quickly as they play the cards, they also must describe the relevant vegetable quickly and „properly“ — or slurp at the appropriate places.

Whoever is the first to have no cards left in his/her hand has won.

Preparation

All 128 cards are shuffled well and distributed evenly among the players. Surplus cards are put aside. Each player picks up his/her cards and holds them in hand with as a face-down stack and here we go!

Game play

The youngest player starts. He puts the topmost card of his hand stack on the table openly and quick as lighting and names the vegetable shown without hesitation:

mushrooms, leek, pepperoni or carrots.

Playing is clockwise. Everybody takes turns to discard his/her topmost cards onto the discard stack and names „her vegetable“ according to the following rules:

Color palette bar with grayscale swatches and a central crosshair symbol (no text or labels)

1. The truth

Every player must generally tell the truth, which means the vegetable which is shown on the discarded card must be named correctly!

Look out!

The vegetable which one sees on the stack, respectively which was just named, must not be told. In this case, the player must always say another vegetable (but must not slurp — see: 2. Cockroach slurp card)

Exp.: It may be, for example, that a player discards a mushroom and says leek (since a mushroom is seen on the discard stack, or another player just said mushrooms).

2. Cockroach slurp card (CSC)

There are four cards of each type of vegetable which in addition show a slurping cockroach. If a player discards a cockroach slurp card, he/she must slurp. From this point on, every card which shows the vegetable shown on the slurp card invokes the duty to slurp! This means that this vegetable must no longer be named.

Look out!

The player must not repeat slurping if the relevant vegetable or a new slurp card is discharged. Whenever the last player already slurped, he/she must utter the appreciative sound „mmm“. However, this sound also must not be repeated. Therefore, slurping is followed by

Color palette bar with grayscale swatches and a central crosshair symbol (no text or labels)

„mmm“ and „mmm“ is again followed by slurping ...

Playing a CSC temporarily closes the discard stack, so that the relevant slurp card remains visible. The following cards are discarded to a second stack next to it until a new CSC is played. The game then changes back to the first discharge stack. Naturally, slurping is only required for the vegetable on the new cockroach slurp card ...

Caution: When stack are changed – for one turn only – two cockroach slurp cards are visible, hence slurping is required for both kinds of vegetable (if they are different)!

Mistakes:

Every wrong word, every incorrect sound, any stuttering, each „em“, each „um“, each hesitation of more than three seconds is valued as a mistake! If a player makes a mistake, he/she must pickup all discarded cards for his/her stack and he/she starts a new turn.

End of the game and the winner

Whoever first used up all cards in hand ends and wins the game!

Example:

1. Grandpa discards a mushroom and says mushrooms.
2. Matze discards a mushroom and says pepperoni (since mushrooms must not be repeated).
3. Axel discards a pepperoni and says leek (because pepperoni was just said).

Color palette bar with grayscale swatches and a central crosshair symbol (no text or labels)

1. Mom discards a carrot cockroach slurp card and slurps.
2. Grandpa changes the discharge stack, discards a carrot and says mmm (because slurping just happened).
3. Matze discards a mushroom cockroach slurp card and slurps (because mmm is followed by slurping).
4. Axel again changes the discharge stack, discards a carrot and says mmm (since the carrot cockroach slurp card is still visible for this turn and slurping just happened).
5. Mom again discards a carrot and says leek (because the carrot was just discarded and the CSC is visible; pepperoni would also have been correct).
6. Grandpa discards a leek and says pepperoni (because leek was just said).
7. Matze discards a mushroom and says mushrooms. This is wrong (because the mushroom slurp card is visible!) He should have slurped and now takes all cards from the two discharge stacks ...

Variant for the insatiable:

You play according to the above rules; however, you may optionally say at each turn, instead of mushrooms, whitecaps, instead of leek, porre, instead of pepperoni, chili, only carrot remains carrot!

Bon appetite with the cockroach soup!

The meal is served!

Although „Cockroach soup“ is an independent game, it can be combined with the predecessor „Cockroach salad“! You may, for example, replace vegetables — after all, who likes to eat the same kind of salad or the same kind of soup all the time?!
