What is "Ekivok" - is it a game or a dodge?

Progress makes its own adjustments not only in the achievements of technology, economics and design. He did not ignore the specifics of entertainment. If a few decades ago lotto, card games and Monopoly were practically the only entertainment for noisy companies, today the spectrum and direction of fascinating games have increased several times: "Associations", "Crocodile", "Activiti", "Alias", " Dents "," Caricatures ". Just recently there was a great game for a big company called "Ekivoki".

"Ekivoki": an excursion into the history

In the modern vocabulary, you rarely find this word, and when you hear it in a conversation, you will glimpse into the explanatory dictionary with lightning speed. Without exaggeration, we can say that the meaning of the word "equivocation" until recently was known only to lovers of Russian classics and highly educated personalities. The bulk of citizens of our country, and even more so the younger generation, about its existence did not even suspect. It turns out that thanks to the creation of an interesting game for the general public, the word "equivocation" received a second life. What did the Russian classics mean by using this "verbal outlandish" in the pages of their works? In translation from the Latin language "equivocation" means "equivalent", from French - "ambiguity". In our dictionary, this archaism means a hint, a dodge, a dirty trick or a word that has several meanings.

"Ekivoki" from the past to the future

Who would have thought that such an intricate expression creatives from Tver would call one of the most fascinating games of our time? The brainchild of Russian developers of table games is still quite a "baby" - the game is just over a year, but "Ekivoki" is already gaining wide popularity among fans, having fun and using their time with friends. After all, "Ekivok" is not only a significant training of wit and wit, it is a kind of "simulator" for developing team spirit and increasing the vocabulary.

And why exactly equivocation? The game does include all the existing forms of hints, dodges and ambiguities. Plus, it's an old Russian product. Despite the fact that many active users consider it to be an analogue of more famous European products, such as Alias and Activity, Ekivoki has gone far ahead in terms of originality and variety of tasks.

Game "Ekivoki" - what's the point?

Many fans of board games immediately noted the benefits of new entertainment. The main difference is a broader range of tasks. "Ekivok" - this is not just associations and cartoons, the game includes the elements:

• Fine art;
• Sculpture;
• Pantomimes;
• Associations;
• Singing;
• Dances.

In general, here you will find everything you need to have fun with friends, playing "Ekivoki". The rules are quite simple: within a minute, a maximum of two players need to complete the task specified on the card. If the other participants realized that one of the friends had in mind, jumping, running, drawing, dancing, reading the word on the contrary, "danetka" or simply saying hints, then the player moves forward. The ultimate goal is to get to the attic by moving the multicolored penguins across the field. The game is team, and the more participants, the better.

Pleasant innovations

It's nice to note that domestic developers have expanded not only the range of tasks, but also made possible variations on the number of participants. Now the game can be played not only by a noisy company, but also by three. The peculiarity is that everyone plays for himself, but guesses are necessary for all participants of the match. In the case of a positive result, the player's chips advance, which guesses the task and the participant who guessed the secret word.

"Ekivok" is also an opportunity to fight in wit and ingenuity in a close family circle. Just consider the spectrum, and the specifics of assignments are designed for an audience of 16 years.

Another nice innovation was that the developers do not stand still, but constantly improve and supplement the game. On the official site, you can find new exciting tasks.

"Ekivoki" bring together!

Today corporate rest became not a compulsory measure, but a merry pastime. From now on, the boring buffet and conversations are replaced by ping-pong, paintball, "Mafia", unusual quests and table games of the new generation.

It's no secret that many large, medium and small companies are actively working on the principle of introducing team spirit in the working team. Psychologists have found out that the individuality so popular in the West and perceived "with a bang" by domestic managers, is not always a positive moment for the corporate activity of enterprises. For individual business - it's a panacea, but for the corporation is not always. It is more appropriate at the stage of selection, competitions and interviews. In other words, if you are a "star" - this is good, but when the team you have starry - it's much larger. The positive atmosphere in a cohesive team raises the indicators of efficiency, success and satisfaction with life. But let's not delve into the psychological jungle, but let's return to the games.

In general, if you have another corporate, birthday, or just a meeting with old friends on your nose, suggest an unusual time, explain that "Ekivok" is a game that really brings together evasions, dodges and ambiguities.
