ナゼカヨメチャウ (Why can I read this?)

ナゼカヨメチャウ (Nazekayomechau) (Why can you read this?) is a party/action game from Japan. The idea came to the designer whilst editing rules for games and looking for typos. It is based on the internet meme Typoglycemia.

In the game, players take turns asking the question. They read the answers to two texts and then show the texts to the other players. But certain parts of the text are blocked by round images, so the players must work out what is really being said. When they have solved two sections, they must perform the action being instructed. The player with the answer declares the first and second winners to perform the action required, who get points.

The first player to reach six points wins the game.

The illustrated texts show examples such as round ladybirds, fairy lights, koi, lanterns, a baseball, and an owl on the branch (the publisher being an owl). user summary

This is a new, easy party game that combines "quiz" and "action". Players are divided into contestants and respondents. The contestant chooses one question from the list of questions and checks the answer. Afterwards, the answers are published for the respondents to see. Respondents look at the published hole in the text and try to guess what it says. As soon as they have an idea of what it says, they move on to the next question. As soon as they know what it says, they take action. If one of the respondent's actions matches the answer, the contestant points out, "Correct!" The first correct answer is unconditional. The first correct answer gets one point unconditionally, and the second correct answer gets one point if it matches the answer to what they read in the text. The game is repeated in the same way, switching contestants. The game ends when one of the players scores 6 points.

「クイズ」+「アクション」 の新感覚お手軽パーティーゲームです。 プレイヤーは出題者と回答者に分かれます。 出題者は問題リストから1問選び、解答を確認します。その後、回答者が見えるよう公開します。回答者は公開された穴空きの文章を見て、なんと書いてあるのかを予想します。 こうかな？っと内容が分かったらすぐに行動に移します。 回答者のいずれかの行動内容と答えが合っていたら、出題者は「正解！」と指摘します。 1人目の正解者は無条件で1点、2人目の正解者は文章をなんと読んだのかを答え、解答と一致していれば1点獲得です。出題者を交代し、同じように繰り返します。 いずれかのプレイヤーが6点獲得したらゲーム終了です。 publisher's summary
