Gameboard, Card Box with 66 Playing Cards featuring 222 Loaded Questions + 42 Party Fouls and Party Favors, Answer Pad, 8 Pencils, 8 Game Pieces
Set-Up
- Place the gameboard and box of playing cards in the middle of the play area.
- Select game pieces and place them on the Start space.
- All players take an answer sheet and pencil and write any name they want at the top of their sheet.
- The shortest player starts the game. Play moves clockwise.
Notes on Play
- There are no categories for the questions, and no right or wrong answers to any of the questions. Just write neatly!
- Players will decide how long a player has to determine an answer.
- If you don't like the question you're supposed to read, pick another question to play on the same card.
- Try not to write on the back of your answer sheets.
- In a 7-8 player game, it might get confusing for the guesser to remember all the answers when deciding which player wrote which answer. It helps to hear the answers 2-3 times and/or grab scrap paper to write down the answers.
- You can print new answer sheets from the Loaded Questions Party page at AllThingsEqual.Games.
Overview
There are no dice in this game. You move along the board by (a) correctly matching players' answers on your turn, (b) writing the favorite answer on everyone else's turn, and (c) benefitting from (or being the victim of) the 42 random Party Fouls and Party Favors in the deck.
On Your Turn
- Pick the next card and read aloud the question (or Party Foul/Favor - see opposite page) matching the colored space you're on.
- If your game piece is on Start, you can choose any question on the card. However, Party Fouls/Favors cannot be played.
- If you're on an orange space, read aloud the orange question.
- All other players (not you) secretly write their personal answer to the question on their answer sheet.
- There are no right or wrong answers, but players are encouraged to get creative with their answers!
- All answers are collected, shuffled, and read aloud by the player to your right. (You will not see the handwriting, because the player to your right is reading the answers aloud.) After hearing ALL of the answers, you must FIRST pick your favorite answer and THEN guess which player wrote which answer.
- It helps to hear the question again before answers are read aloud.
- The reader should familiarize himself/herself with the answers before reading them aloud.
- Players should be discreet when answers are read aloud, and when you are selecting your favorite answer and guessing "who wrote what".
- Whether you like an answer because it was hilarious, honest, creative or ridiculous, it is up to you in deciding your "favorite".
- Say your favorite answer and attempt to match EVERY answer BEFORE learning "who wrote what".
- The player to your right reveals which player wrote which answer. You advance one space for every correctly matched answer. The player who wrote your favorite answer advances two spaces on the board. Used cards should be placed at the back of the card box. Play moves clockwise.
Party Fouls and Party Favors
With each of the 21 Party Fouls and 21 Party Favors scattered among the questions, you and sometimes your fellow players have a chance of moving back or advancing one space... before you play one of the three questions on the card.
Multi-Colored Spaces
If your game piece is on one of these spaces and you draw a card with a Party Foul or Favor, you must play the Party Foul or Favor before playing any one of the three remaining questions on the card. Otherwise, simply play any one of the four questions on the card.
How to Win
The first player to land on the WIN space wins the game (either by matching answers correctly, writing the favorite answer, or advancing on a Party Favor). Players are not required to land on the WIN space with an exact advance. In the unlikely event two players reach the WIN space on the same turn, then both players win the game!
