PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Good Friends?

Are you suited to be a dictator?

 

What are your friends really thinking about you? Probably you have asked this question yourself already, with this game you can get some answers. You start with 5 voting cards for each player and a set of assessment cards. In your turn you read out a question, and then all players must assign this question to one or two players. To do so you take two voting cards, either two for one player, or one for two players each, and put them into the box; you cannot vote for yourself. Then each player assesses how many votes he might have received and lays out one of his assessment cards face down: 0 for no vote received, + for the majority of votes and + for one or a few votes. Then the voting cards are counted by color and after that the assessment cards are revealed. You score three points for a correct assessment of 0 or + and one point for +. The voting cards are placed into stock and you can draw new cards of any color any time from stock. After 12 rounds you win with most points.

Sounds like a standard party and communication game, which is true for the basic mechanisms of the game. But the game on the one hand features some very nice details, for instance the buttons for assigning player colors, and on the other hand an excellent and challenging mix of questions, for instance “Who would you trust with your money” or “Who would you choose to go into any kind of battle with?” or “Who would be allowed to drive the car of your dreams? Or “Who would cope best with a crowd of rowdy kids?” A fun evening is guaranteed in any case and you can gain new insights about yourself and others.
