📖 About This Game
The objective of the game is not to win. The goal is to NOT BE THE FIRST LOSER.
Players play some mini-games within the game (simple action games and interesting word games) while following a few quirky rules. If they lose a game or break a rule, they pick a penalty card, each of which has two letters on it. If they pick up enough penalty cards that spell TH IS IS RI DI CU LO US !!!
they lose and the game stops.
The main deck to play with is the green game deck, which they'll draw from on their turn. Rules from the orange deck (1 or 2 or 3, players' choice)are opened prior to starting the game. These are community rules that everyone has to follow. Rules will change during the course of the game when players are prompted to change them. They might also be prompted to punish their opponent by giving them one of their red penalty cards. (It is important to note that players cannot have duplicates of penalty cards. If players draw a duplicate, they're free to give that card to anyone who doesn't have that particular card).
There is also a purple challenge deck, designed as an ice-breaker. It has funny, embarrassing challenges that players are asked to complete (there are prompts included in the game deck). If they decline, they draw a penalty card. This is an optional deck though; not necessary to play the base game.
A shorter, more intense version can be played by spelling just
RI DI CU LO US instead.
