Coming from the four corners of the Universe, there are many games which are widely known on Planet Earth, too. I am talking about games we all played when we were young, like BLIND METEOR’S BLUFF, COPS’N’ROMULANS and HIDE AND SHUTTLE.
After some adjustments required strictly for marketing reasons, some of the most famous commercial games published by United Games of the Galaxy also arrived on Earth, like BIG BANG!, WAR OF THE BELT RING, SCI-FI PUB and ANDROMEDA – THE DISCOVERY.
However, there is a game which unfortunately did not have any chance of success on Earth: ACROBATIC READER by Eboda. This was due to real obstacles such as the lacking of demographic reliability (as everybody knows, at least 8 million players are required to play effectively a real game of ACROBATIC READER) or the fact that humans sports just two arms and too many eyes according to the minimum required by the official rules.
Notwithstanding this, thanks to a hard work of revision, we managed to make a version of the game suitable to be played even on Earth.
The game is for two players, one in front of the other. The first player to play is the first one who is capable of speaking correctly the name: AyrudŠjkwermçntirzãxjøœtpl.
The other player must think of a number: the other player, using his mindreading powers which make Terrestrials famous all around the Universe, will try to find out this number.
By means of subtle mental strategies, psychological cunning and deductive aptitude, the player has to overcome the barriers and the cerebral traps which will be put by his opponent to fool him.

If the player manages to get the number within five minutes, he will mentally send the answer to the other player: if this is correct, the two players will hug themselves. Otherwise, the two players switch roles: the losing player will try to breach through the dedalus of his opponent’s mental ambushes.
Before leaving, let me send a brief telepathic message with some suggestions to make the game even more pleasant:

I believe to have told you all I can. Enjoy, Earthlings.
Let us now show you another game which comes directly from the admission tests of Xenobiology of the Alpha Centauri Galaxy College.
To detect the basic knowledge of biomorphological features of alien races, the candidate must correctly rebuild a creature’s appearance after a picture showing it has been broken in several pieces.
You see, a sort of puzzle, made more problematic by the fact you don’t know the starting picture.
To make things even harder, we asked our teachers to suggest the race which poses the highest challenge to the students.
One of the teachers answered this question in this way: “This race is awfully strange. It seems to have protrusions randomly scattered along its body”. However, the same teacher’s second head disagreed, declaring that “They are fascinating creatures. I recently saw a scientific movie about them. It is a pity that these creatures are subjugated by a race of evil quadrupeds which wander dragging them with a lead. Worst of all, after these quadrupeds go to the toilet, they force the creatures to pick up the dirt.”
“How disgusting!” said the third head, before the student departed in two different directions.
“So, even if we know it’s overly complicated, don’t be disheartened and try yourself to reconstruct this bizarre alien” was the incitement by the Rector of the Galaxy College, Onavlis Onitnerros.
To test your skill, just print the page, cut the tiles and try to restore the picture.
