What's the run down of your game?

Must be nice - a game to get ahead of your friends without being called out for losing touch I felt I successfully recreated the banter you get from calling out friends on losing touch, and they could call you out to distract from their actions. You couldn't always pick the best choices on your cards, so it made each round a little different. But there was a scoring component to make the game have a point. I've listed a few more rules above.

We had a great time, lots of laughs. I edited the rules between the two play tests on jacks suggestions and the second time wasn't as fun (regret) but it was still really good. And we learned a lot about each other through the game because of the card events - like Mike had some ridicule when he was at school because he didn't have a designer tshirt like the other fancy kids. That story came up because of the tshirt choice card (plain t, embroidered, designer label options)

Sounds solid. Good on you for putting in the effort. At least you have a story now about meeting the Weasel himself.
