Marc-Uwe Kling is the author of the absurdly successful Kangaroo tetralogy. His big breakthrough came with stories about a communist kangaroo who lives with the small-time artist Marc-Uwe and turns his life upside down. In keeping with the second Kangaroo film, Voll auf die 18 is a funny, cooperative and kaotic kangaroo card game with dice that also offers 100 good arguments against Nazis.

Two to five players aged ten and up take on the roles of kangaroos, small artists or other members of the “anti-social network”. Together they want to convince Nazis to make the world a better place. Each Nazi has an individual IQ. The players have to play cards with arguments (and numbers from 1 to 6) whose sum corresponds exactly to the IQ of the respective Nazi. It is possible to “argue” alone as well as together. Some Nazis have a soft spot for certain things (for example, card colours) and bring further specifications into play. In addition, each character has its own rules of play that must be observed. The game is accompanied by an app that offers 18 increasingly difficult levels and also acts as a timer, because new Nazis appear at regular intervals. The group loses if it is surrounded by Nazis. If, on the other hand, all the Nazis can be convinced within the time limit, the players win together.

Voll auf die 18 is a project of the heart: the profits from the sale of the game are donated by all those involved in the project to organisations that work against racism: Opferperspektive e.V., Mobile Beratung gegen Rechtsextremismus Berlin and the Amadeu Antonio Foundation.
