Party Game

The king is holding a great banquet for all the nobles in the realm so that they can bathe in his splendour. Artists and troubadours will bring the necessary entertainment. It is meant to be a feast that will long be remembered!

The guests attending the feast hall feel the same, for in the corners of the castle deadly plots are being developed. The guests are divided into two factions, with both planning to "dismiss" the king. One faction plans to smuggle a dagger into the feast hall to "open the king's heart to the realm" at the right time, while the other faction hopes to give the king "renewed motivation" with a poisoned drink.

In The Last Banquet, each player is a guest at the feast and needs to help his faction reach its goal and ensure that this will truly be the king's last banquet. The game includes 25 role cards, each portraying a person on the front and listing that person's skills on the back. In addition to "The Last Banquet", several other scenarios are provided in the rules that can be played with each of the roles. (GameHeads' Oliver Wolf notes, "Playing time ranges from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes or more, with more people tending to need more time to play." Also, some scenarios involve more than two factions.) Obstacle cards provide challenges for players to overcome.

When a faction succeeds in its goal, all players who belong to that faction win the game.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover?" Well forget all of that. This game is about judging on looks alone.

What The Face is an adult party game where you and the player to you left must each select the best face to match a description card (examples include: "thrift store shopper," "packing heat," and "has unicorn fantasies"). The other players vote on your selections and, if your face gets the most votes, you earn a point. The first player to five points wins the game.

Publisher Description:
It should be easy to name 3 breeds of dogs - but can you do it under the pressure of 5 seconds twisting down, and with the other players staring at you, waiting for you to get flustered? Time's not on your side, so just say what comes to mind and risk ridiculous answers slipping out as time twirls down on the unique twisted timer! It's all in good fun with this fast-paced game where you have to "Just Spit It Out!"

Game description from the publisher:

The jobs available in Odd Jobs are hilarious, screwy and over-the-top, and the workers are even crazier. One player is the "client", choosing a card and reading aloud the job. All other players use their business cards, selecting the best one for the job, and telling the client why they should be hired! Sometimes the amusing names and witty taglines sell themselves, sometimes you may want to act the part and boast about your imaginary skills!

Players answer multiple-choice trivia questions of increasing difficulty, with the option of quitting with their winnings up to that point. This adaptation has makeshift versions of the TV show's "Ask the Audience" and "Phone a Friend" lifelines. Players rotate as host, and after everyone has taken a turn as host, winnings are totaled.

Based on the original ABC version of the world-famous game show, hosted by Regis Philbin from 1999-2002.
