Challenges include things such having a thumb war with a teammate, naming five types of chocolate bars, doing simple math or answering riddles, or singing an advertising jingle. Bineinteles, echipa pierzatoare poate cere sa isi ia revansa! Resetati clepsidra si incepeti un nou joc! The only other complaint is the use of an umpire. Now, for me and the groups I've played with this hasn't been a problem as they have operated as a sort of DM, taking out challenges which might not match the group, but I can see this being an issue for some people. However there is no reason why the team that just finished a challenge couldn't flip the timer and read the next challenge. Whether this would work so well when disagreements about the challenge completion arise is another matter...

Not all challenges will be a good fit for all game groups. It’s very possible you’ll play with someone, for instance, who doesn’t wish to ‘rub noses with each of their team members’. There are enough challenge cards, however, that as long as you discuss ahead of time what sorts of things people are comfortable doing, you can easily remove these cards or just have the referee skip them when they show up. Jocul de societate 20 Second Showdown (RO) este tradus, adaptat si distribuit in Romania de catre Gameology. The round starts and the referee flips the timer, draws a challenge card and reads it aloud. The team whose color is losing sand in the timer must complete the challenge. The player who is currently holding the team’s baton is the one who takes on the challenge — after the challenge is complete, she will pass the baton to another player on the team. Once the referee deems the challenge successfully completed, he flips over the timer and reads another challenge card, which the other team must complete. The faster a challenge is completed, the more sand you save in the timer for your team, while the longer it takes you, the more sand the other team will have. The first team to run out of sand completely loses the round, and the first team to win three rounds wins the game.Impartiti cate o stefeta fiecarei echipe. Stafeta va porni de la jucatorul care incepe jocul, predand-o apoi urmatorului jucator din echipa sa, dupa indeplinirea unei provocari. Obiectivul jocului 20 Second Showdown (RO) este a castiga 3 runde. O runda poate fi castigata atunci cand echipa adversa ramane fara nisip in clepsidra. From tongue twisters to riddles, from singing to thumb wars, 20 Second Showdown throws all kinds of challenges your way.

Each team gets one help card. If you can’t complete a challenge on your turn, you can flip it to allow the rest of your teammates to help you. However, each team can only use its help card once per round. We really enjoyed 20 Second Showdown. It plays fast, leads to some silly, hilarious moments, and uses the pressure of time very effectively. A great party game that makes for a great time.The Bottom Line - 20 Second Challenge is a fantastic party game that shines in large groups. It does what it says on the tin and it does it with great aplomb! Players split into teams with one challenge master. One player on each team takes one of the coloured batons and the umpire takes the challenge cards. The egg timer should be set to exactly half way - with the same amount of 'sand' on each side. The rules tell you that this can be done by simply spinning the timer on its side really fast. In reality, this doesn't work so you will have to trust your umpire to set it evenly.
