About the game

What is Radio-Sende-Spiel

This is a simple roll and move game with the objective of touring wartime Germany and being the first to reach the final (100) space.

However, the primary objective of the game was to encourage both patriotism and obedience to wartime rules, specifically the prohibition on listening to foreign broadcasters.

When landing on domestic transmitter spaces, the players must carry out certain actions: sing a ditty, send a message, make a weather report or sing a military song. But if they land on a foreign transmitter space, they must exclaim "I have committed a criminal offense", pay a pfennig into the pot and go back to start. Worst is if they land on London's transmitter, when they must shout "God punish England!" and pay 5 pfennig into the pot as well as start over. The pot is taken by the winner.

The title "Radio-Sende-Spiel" translates in Google Translate to "Radio Broadcast Game".
