All the non-judge players then simultaneously choose to either play their A or B cards, indicating which scenario they would prefer, or at least which one they believe the majority will select. You may also choose to play your double down card, which will double your points if you choose correctly but you will lose the card for the rest of the game if you are incorrect. Everyone is allowed to ask the judge clarifying questions about the two scenarios. The judge is trying to balance the two cards. The game box says it is for 3-16 players, but the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle of this range. You want more cards for the judge to choose from and more people to have to try to read than you’ll get with three players and, honestly, anything over 10 is just going to slow the game down far too much unless you change the point total you’re aiming for. In fact, the score pad doesn’t even go beyond 10 player names. With more players, it’s also going to be a lot more difficult for the judge to ever score those three points from a tie. The Judge chooses a Poison card from their hand and places it face up on the A spot on the game mat. This is card A for the rest of the round. Which would be worse? To wear zombie face paint at all times or to be trapped in a mine with 100 people for five days? And which would the other players consider to be worse? Despite the theme of the game, the cards do remain pretty family-friendly. A few had a bit of crude humor, but that seems pretty much to be expected given what the game is about, and it’s not to a degree that we felt uncomfortable playing. We appreciated that it was a game that could be played with families or adults. Although adults and children will definitely react to some of these scenarios in different ways.
In a case where not all players vote unanimously for the same Poison Card, the Judge earns one point for every player that did not agree with the majority. Rather than creating questions on the fly, this game allows for a little less thought, and a little more fun! Poison Cards are chosen, and two are decided between by the players. If you do not agree with the majority, then you may end up a loser! Choose wisely. The judge reads each card given to him aloud and then selects one to place on the B spot on the board. The person who gave him that card earns one point. Hint: players should choose a Poison card that will create the most difficult decision when compared to card A. Select Card BThis is the all-ages, family edition. So, if you know 3 to 16 people of any age, you’re in for 30 to 60 minutes of belly-laughs and blushing!
When a Double Down card is played and the player scores zero points in the round they lose their Double Down card for the remainder of the game. Reveal
Choose Wisely…
This is card B for the rest of the round. The player who submitted card B gets one point. The other submitted cards are discarded. Each player takes an A card, a B card, and a double down card. The poison cards are shuffled and six are dealt to each player. Each poison card lists an unpleasant scenario such as ‘wear a bike helmet at all times’ or ‘always be running 30 minutes late’. Throughout the decision of which they would rather do, the players may question the Judge, thus clarifying their choice between the Poison Cards. The Judge may answer in whatever way they choose, attempting to make either option seem as unpleasant as possible. The goal is for the Judge to make the decision as hard as they can. To score, you need to vote with the majority of the players. So, not only do you have to think about which scenario you’d rather endure, you have to guess what everyone else might choose, undergoing literally seconds of ‘will they, won’t they?’ torture as you do.
The instructions above are repeated for each round. The game ends when a player reaches fifteen points. HOUSE RULES In a split decision, the Judge gets one point for each player that didn't vote with the majority. Two-for-one
