This cooperative game consists mostly of image cards and of tiles with letters (all consonants). The title is short for "Kurz geraten".
In each round, a player is a guesser who looks away while the others draw an image card. They then try to give the guesser a clue using their letter tiles. They can try to spell words or give a visual clue, whichever they think could be more efficient. When they are done, additional image cards are added to the table. Afterwards, the guesser tries to find out which of the images was the original one.
The game is played over 6 rounds with ascending difficulty, caused by more extra images and fewer tiles. When the guesser guesses wrong, the group loses a life. When they run out of lives, they lose the game.
At the expense of a life, all players can draw new letter tiles.
