Party Game

Ice-breaker party game where a player chooses a true/false statement off a card (i.e."I have sung at karaoke bar," "I have never flunked a test") and the other players try to guess whether or not the card reader is telling the truth. They make their decision by placing chips on the either the'TRUE' or 'FALSE' halves of the board (there is no choice but to go 'all in.') Any chips bet on the wrong answer are discarded, and the last player to have any chips in play wins.

The game consists of three to 10 players who are randomly paired up by the unique Player Assignment Cards( included in the game). Paired players then argue topics such as "Who would win in a fight, Mary Poppins or Judge Judy?" or "What is more nerve-wracking: a first date or a job interview?" The non-arguing players then vote on who they felt argued best, each vote equaling a point for the arguing players. After every player has argued twice, whoever has the most points wins the game.

"What's fun is that the Player Assignment Cards also determine which side of the argument you must take, even if you do not agree with that side," says White. "So, for instance, if you can't stand rap music, you may be put in the position to argue why you think rap music is great for society. This can be quite entertaining."

Included with Argue is 1,000 topics, a precision timer and 100 optional Distraction Cards. These can be used to make arguing more of a challenge by causing players to perform outrageous stunts, such as arguing "while smelling your left shoe" or arguing "while jumping up and down for 15 seconds."

Knit Wit is a word game along the lines of Scattergories, with players trying to think up unique answers to particular categories in order to score points, but instead of using fixed categories, players generate their own categories while playing the game.

To set up, each player takes numbered spools and looped strings based on the number of players, along with an answer sheet. A number of bonus buttons, which have 1-4 holes, are stacked on the table, again based on the number of players. Going clockwise around the table, each player (after the first) places one loop on the table so that it surrounds exactly one spool, then draws a word tag from the box and attaches it to this loop, then places one spool in one section of loop(s) that has no spool in it. (Think of a Venn diagram; two overlapping circles form three sections, with one section having both circles in common and two sections being part of only one circle.)

Once all of the spools have been placed, everyone races to think of words, names, or phrases for each spool based on the word tags associated with that spool. If a spool has three loops around it, for example, it has three words associated with it, and your answer must relate to those words in some manner.

As soon as someone has finished or can't think of more answers, they grab the topmost button on the stack (the one with the most holes). Once the final button is grabbed, players can't write more answers. Players then compare answers, crossing out those they have in common with someone else, then scoring points for the remaining answers; each answer is worth as many points as the number of loops around the spool with the same number. Buttons are worth as many points as the number of holes they have, and whoever has the highest score wins.

Booze Barons is a quick, team-based hidden identity and deduction game set during U.S. Prohibition where you are bootlegging a particular type of booze and secretly delivering it to speakeasies all over the city. Each time you make a delivery, you get a coin, but also reveal information about the type of booze you are bootlegging. Expose bootleggers of opposing mobs and help those who are in your mob since the mob with the most coins at the end wins!
