I’d really like to try this. My German is very poor, but I did decently enough with the French entries, so maybe it is worth a try.

I encourage anyone else to give it a shot, too. I’ve had fun translating the French I didn’t understand. I meant to look into this last year, but…I really want to this year.

I might try and brute-force-Google-Translate these… (which is more than I can say for the Frenchcomp entries!)

5

I played and I voted. Hat Spaß gemacht!

I’ll try to leave some comments/thoughts on the games later in the German forum.

Congratulations!

I’m curious if anybody tried that?

I’m trying this with the inkle entry now! All I can say is Duolingo has disappointed me. Clearly it was only meant to set me up for a world in which I would have to say “Ich bin eine Banane.” [emote]:P[/emote]

I’m loving Der Tag Der Toten. Does anyone know how many chapters there are? I want to budget the time accordingly.

Der Tag der Toten has two chapters. The second one is much longer than the first one.

@verityvirtue: Sounds like a challenge… I’d love to see a German game that one could play knowing only the phrase “Ich bin eine Banane”. [emote]:)[/emote]

Hm…can I include “bist du eine Banane?” as well?
