How To Play
Life is awkward. This game rewards that.
The aim is simple: make the other players laugh, cringe, or question why they're friends with you.
The player with the most points at the end wins. Probably.
Setup
Each player receives
1
Story Card
Your chance to risk your dignity.
Place the Experience Cards in a pile in the middle of the table.
Before the game begins, everyone tells an embarrassing story.
The most embarrassing story goes first. Congratulations.
1
Draw
Draw an Experience Card and read it aloud.
Brace yourself.
2
React
Everyone chooses a Reaction Card from their hand and reads it aloud.
Or, if real life has already traumatised you enough, play your Story Card and tell a real story that fits the Experience.
3
Vote
Once everyone has shared, vote for whoever made you laugh or cringe the hardest.
To vote, hand your Reaction Card to that player. Any cards awarded to you become your points to keep.
Rules
- No voting for yourself.
- There can be multiple winners.
- Never hand over Story Cards.

Special Scoring
If you told a story and received enough votes, you keep your Story Card and the Experience Card.
Story Card
Win enough votes with a real story and keep your Story Card plus the Experience Card.
Full House
If every other player votes for you, keep the Experience Card as an additional point.
5
Refill & Rotate
Refill your hand back to 6 Reaction Cards.
Pass the draw to the player on your left.
Repeat until someone needs therapy.
Scoring
Count your points

The player with the most points wins.
Life is awkward. Let's make it competitive.
Optional Final Round
True or Bullshit?
Once the game ends, each player gets one final opportunity to tell an embarrassing story.
One at a time, players tell a story from their life. The group must decide whether it is true or complete bullshit.
True
Hand the storyteller a Reaction Card.
Complete Bullshit
Keep your card.
Final reveal
Once everyone has voted, the storyteller reveals the truth. Anyone who guessed wrong gives the storyteller 1 point card from their score pile.
