Careful Words

More lunch time games at work. Sarah brought in a favorite of hers...

We Didn't Playtest This At All 2-10 players
This game is a little like Fluxx in that there is very little you can do to try and win. Everyone starts with two cards. On your turn you draw a card then play one. Cards do many random things like give you points or cause everyone to touch their noses or outlaw the words there/their/they're. You win if you are a player who didn't lose. You lose if you didn't win. Which is to say, there is no one way of winning or losing. It's all random and mostly about seeing how well you can juggle all the rules added by the cards.

The first game we played ended on the first card which just made the player who played it win. The next game ended when I was the only player to touch my nose while not pointing at it. The other two games were just as silly.

If you like games where anything can happen and you want to play just to see what can happen, you might like this game. If you play to win, or can see the novelty of a game like this fading, then you are with me and you don't want to bother with it.

Afterwards, we played several rounds of Pairs. Everyone enjoyed it. It played much faster, but I get the feeling that if most of them were to pick a game to play again it would have been WDPTAA.

Tally: 60/152  Bonus: 15/50
