Objective
Welcome to the game of dumb lists! Choose a category, fire up that big beautiful brain of yours, make a list, and win some sweet, sweet imaginary points for it. The more creative the answers the better. Obviously.
How to Play
-
Give each player an answer pad & a pencil for the game.
-
The game is played in 4 rounds. There is a column for every round on the answer pads.
-
Start a round by drawing a Category card.
-
Read the category on the card out loud and place it where all can see it.
-
Draw a Bonus Letter card. In this round, answers that begin with this letter will be worth more points when scoring.
-
When everyone's ready, start the timer to start the round! Players have 90 seconds to write a list of items for the category on their answer pad until time runs out. Players may only have a maximum of 7 items on their list for the round. If they have time left, they may go back and revise any items.
You'll only be rewarded with points if your answers do not match other answers - so be as creative and original as you can!
-
When time runs out, players stop writing and the scoring begins...
-
Each player takes a turn reading their list aloud to the group. If any other player(s) has the same answer, then that list item does not count for any of those players.
Side note: If any player disputes an item and doesn't think it fits the category, then it is put to a group vote to decide if the answer is counted or not. Majority rules.
-
After each list is read, players tally their score for the round on their answer pad using the point system below:
- +3 points for each answer beginning with the round's bonus letter.
- +1 point for each answer that does not start with the letter.
- 0 points for each answer that matches another player's answer.
Another Way to Play
If there are seasoned players looking to make things interesting, try rolling the BuzzFeed die at the beginning of the round BEFORE players start their list. The winning answer for this roll is worth +5 points!
Players will still need to share their lists and score before determining which answer best fits the badge modifier rolled.
