Snake Oil

Snake Oil was a real product but due to fakes it has become a synonym for worthless plunder and Snake Oil Salesman a synonym for dishonest, fraudulent sales people.

The game features word cards and also double-sided customer cards. Players in turn assume the role of customer, draw one customer card and choose one of the jobs. The other players hold six word cards each and have about 30 seconds to create a product that could be of interested to the current customer, using two of their cards. In clockwise order each player has a period of 30 second to pitch his product to the customer; the customer can stop a pitch that takes longer than 30 seconds. When the customer has heard all offers he gives his customer card to the player whose pitch/product he thinks was best. When all players have been customer one, you win with most customer cards.

Creative game with words for 3-10 players, ages 10+
