Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions. We have answers. Some of them are even helpful.

The Basics

Absolutely not.

18+

If you're asking, you're probably too responsible for this game.

2–10 players.

The more players involved, the more likely someone reveals something they should have taken to the grave.

Officially: 2–10 players.

Unofficially: we tested it with 16 and regretted nothing.

You'll get around 5–6 rounds before the Reaction deck starts running low. For larger groups, either skip Story Cards or let players create their own.

At that point you're no longer playing a card game. You're facilitating a support group that has completely lost control.

Anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours.

Depends how much emotional damage you're willing to inflict.

The Rules

No.

Nice try.

Yes.

There can be multiple winners in a round.

We're not here to tell you who to love.

Either:

  • Accept it like adults.
  • Maintain uncomfortable eye contact until somebody gives in.

Both methods are officially recognised.

The Cards

Officially: yes.

Unofficially: that's between you and your conscience.

If people discover your story was fake, you lose the Story Card and everyone is allowed to judge you.

Most of the time, the Experience Card goes to the bottom of the Experience deck after the round ends.

The only exceptions are:

  • You successfully win with a Story Card.
  • You achieve a Full House.

In either case, you keep the Experience Card as a point.

A Full House happens when every other player votes for you.

You keep the Experience Card as an additional point.

Enjoy the brief feeling of superiority.

Other

Technically yes.

Professionally, we advise caution.

Not yet.

We're working on it.

You'll still have the memories.
