What's in the Box
PLAYER ID CARDS (10) used to identify each player. VOTING CARDS (90) used for placing votes. Players get one of every number except their own. QUESTION CARDS (200) the questions that are voted on in each round.
Set Up
ASSIGN Each player gets one Player ID card and places it in front of them. This identifies each player as a number for the remainder of the game.
DEAL Each player gets a deck of numbered voting cards (1-10) with every number except the one on their player ID card.
Playing the Game
QUESTION Draw a black Question card and read it out loud. The player who most recently called their mother is the first question reader.
If the Question card has a blank space then the reader picks something to fill it in.
VOTE Each player uses their white voting cards to vote for the player who is the answer to the question. Vote anonymously by placing the voting card face down in a pile. Everyone must vote, including the reader.
REVEAL The player who read the question collects all the voting cards and reveals them to the group one at a time.
Players receiving votes guess who voted for them. Players get one guess for every vote they received. Whoever is to the left of the question reader guesses first.
SCORE The player that receives the most votes wins the round and keeps the Question card. In the event of a tie, the player who read the question decides the winner.
REPEAT The player to the left of the reader draws a new Question card and asks the next question.
Winning the Game
The first player to collect 6 question cards wins the game.
Alternate Ways to Win
GUESS THE VOTE Each player guesses who voted for them. Players get one guess for every vote they received. A point is scored for each correct guess. First player to receive 25 points wins!
MAJORITY RULE When a player wins the round by receiving the most votes, each player that voted for them claims their vote and receives a point. First player to receive 10 points wins!
OWN IT The player that wins the game must post a picture of all the question cards they won to the social network of the host's choice. #TheVotingGame
FOR FUN A version where the only point is to have a good time.
House Rules
DRINK When guessing who voted for you, correct guesses mean that THEY drink and incorrect guesses mean YOU drink. (Ages 21+)
SHOTS When someone receives 100% of the vote (not counting their vote) they must take a shot. (Ages 21+)
ORIGINALS ONLY Keep the Question card deck off to the side and only allow original questions.
SELFIE Give players a voting card with their own number on it. You can vote for yourself! (9 players max can play this version.)
DRAW 3 Draw three Question cards when it's your turn to ask a question. Pick your favorite to read out loud. Return the remaining two cards to the bottom of the deck.
STRAIGHT UP Votes aren't anonymous anymore. Count to 3 and everyone reveals their votes at the same time.
ABSENT Assign any extra Player ID cards to people of your choice – public figures or mutual friends. No one has to know.
ON THE SPOT When it's your turn to draw a Question card, you can make up your own instead.
