7 Zwerge - Das Brettspiel ✨

7 dwarfs - The Boardgame

I recently got my hands on the official "7 Zwerge" PC video game from 2004!

I was pleasantly surprised that it actually works on my modern Windows PC. 😄

The gameplay is very simple: You play as Bubi and you have to slap a wooden board on the heads of the other dwarfs without being hit yourself.

I absolutely adore the cute 3D artwork in the menu screen and game itself.

Fairytales

I kind of noticed a big misunderstanding of German fairytales.

There are two kinds of fairytales.

The folk fairytale:

This are your classic fairytales, born from a thousand years of oral history. Most of the Brother Grimm's fairytales are folk fairytales. Folk fairytales end well for the Heros and terrible for the villains (example: snow white- the evil queen is forced to dance in hot iron shoes till she dies, in snow whites Wedding)

It plays in an unknown land and in an unknown time. (starting phrase of fairytales in German : For langer, langer Zeit, in einem weiteren entfernten Land [A long, long time ago, in a far away land]) and features stereotypical characters like 'big bad wolf' and 'beatiful princess'.

It often uses magical numbers like...

7 (seven dwarves behind seven mountains, 7 ravens, seven flys killed' at once, seven Kids(?)/ little goats)

3 (three taskes, three ways to kill Snow White, three Balls in 'Aschenputtel' (German Cinderella))(examples for this are a little hard to explain in few words because they're so specific)

13 (thirteen fairies in sleeping beauty)

These stories are often uses to explain morals or rules of survival. (Don't abuse your Kids/ step Kids, don't just Run into the woods, don't let strangers into the House)

The Art fairytale:

This fairytales was written by an author and is Not meant to explain a rule or bring hope.

Most of these are very tragic. The little Mermaid (from Hans Christian Andersen) would be a good example.

Others would be 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier'(also from Hans Christian Andersen) or the 'girl with the matches' (ALSO from Hans Christian Andersen)(goodnes he wrote a lot of these, this poor man's mental health really was bad)(Spoiler: the solider and the girl die)

Hans Christian Andersen wrote 156 Art fairytales. Remember: they all endet badly! I think the guy set in Stone what an Art fairytales is?!? I did Not know that? I Just wanted to teach about fairytales, I did NOT want to learn about this man's tragic live.

Like this are two books, full of fairytales (mostly Art fairytales) from the guy.

TWO books.

And the title reads ' Die schönsten Haus- und Weihnachtsmärchen' (The Most beautiful home and Christmas fairytales)

Beautiful fairytales my ass. The guy kust did therapy but as written stories. I mean, he wrote Snow Queen, which kind of ends well? But that doesn't really make it better.

So before I end this, to mull over Hans mental health:

Fairytales are not the only type of German folk Story. They are a very specific Type, that follows specific rules. Other types follows other rules.

Not every German folk Story ist a fairytale. And other very old Stories can end badly, but then it's not a fairytale. Not a folk one at least. But maybe it's danish and actually from this depressed Gay Poet that seems to have written all the Art fairytales of my childhood. Further more, there are many folk fairytales that do not come from Germany, but those also follow These rules more or less. (There are also a lot of different versions of the same fairytale all over Europe)

AM I THE ASSHOLE FOR KICKING OUT MY STEPDAUGHTER BC SHE IS PRETTIER THAN ME?

I know this sounds horrible but but hear me out: I F45, got married to my husband m45. He has a daughter from a previous marriage. Unfortunately wife 1 mysteriously died and so stepdaughter F18 lives with us in our modest castle we call home. My husband told me that he only married me bc I am pretty and has no qualms with replacing me like he did before with his first wife. So i keep an eye out to be the prettiest gal in the neighborhood. For years stepdaughter was just an ugly duckling bc I had her do hard manual labour in our castl- I mean home. But last year she started to turn incredibly pretty and so in my panic I kicked her out with the help of a friend who is really into hunting. Now she lives with her 7 gay best friends in the forest and gets by with cleaning and cooking for them. I checked up on her (unlike her father) and she appears to be fine no matter what comes her way. AITA?

having great ideas with @the-running-elf
