  1. Otti

    Translation

    It's raining outside. How about a board game?

  2. Lotte

    Gern! Aber zuerst die Spielregeln, damit nachher alles fair ist.

    Translation

    Sure! But the rules first, so that everything's fair afterwards.

  3. Bruno

    Ach, ganz einfach: Jeder würfelt und zieht seine Spielfigur. Wer die meisten Punkte hat, gewinnt.

    Translation

    Oh, it's easy: everyone rolls the dice and moves their piece. Whoever has the most points wins.

  4. Otti

    Ich bin zuerst an der Reihe. Eine Sechs, super!

    Translation

    My turn first. A six, great!

  5. Lotte

    Translation

    Bruno, you rolled a three, but your piece is five squares further on. Are you cheating, by any chance?

  6. Bruno

    Ich? Niemals! … Na gut, ein bisschen. Nach dieser Runde gibt es nämlich Pizza, und ich habe Hunger.

    Translation

    Me? Never! … All right, a little. There's pizza after this round, you see, and I'm hungry.

  7. Otti

    Das ist unfair, Bruno! Zieh deine Spielfigur bitte zurück.

    Translation

    That's unfair, Bruno! Move your piece back, please.

  8. Bruno

    Translation

    All right, all right. From now on I'll play fair.

  9. Lotte

    Translation

    I hope so. Whoever cheats again loses two points - it says so in the rules.

  10. Otti

    Wieder eine Sechs! Lotte, du warst eine starke Gegnerin, aber diese Runde gewinne ich!

    Translation

    Another six! Lotte, you were a tough opponent, but I'm winning this round!

  11. Bruno

    Bravo, Otti! Ein fairer Sieger teilt seine Pizza mit den Verlierern, oder?

    Translation

    Well done, Otti! A fair winner shares his pizza with the losers, doesn't he?

  12. Otti

    Translation

    All right, Bruno. But only if you don't cheat in the next round!
