Based on Anna Faris's hit podcast Unqualified, Dealbreakers is an irreverent party game that explores what happens in a romantic relationship after that initial swipe right. Gather your friends, open your mind, and prepare to discover what you're really willing to accept from a romantic partner! Would you banish someone who bought off-brand cereal? What about a loud chewer? In this game players can be both sappy and silly as they explore what really counts as a dealbreaker in a new relationship with the help of Anna Faris -- who asks celebrities these very same questions on her top-rated podcast! Each round begins with a scenario card that sets the scene, and players must each select a "dealbreaker" card they believe will convince the round's leader to abandon the date. But even the dealbreakers that seem terrible on first blush might be excusable for the right person! As players explore these questions, they'll learn more than they ever thought about themselves, their friends, and, of course, how to avoid dating axe-murderers. This party game includes: * 30 date scenario cards + 5 bonus "wild card" scenarios * 300 deal breaker cards * 15 create-your-own deal breaker wild cards * Full-color, 32-page illustrated book with rules of game play and a personal essay from Anna Faris
Chatting with colleagues at the coffee machine is easy enough. Talking to a new colleague is a little less easy. Having an in-depth conversation with someone you do not know, is anything but easy. And, if that someone is either half your age or twice as old, it becomes difficult. This game turns that task into a joyful experience. Lay Your Cards on The Table consists of 60 cards with conversation starters. Choose questions from 3 different categories and you will be having great conversations in no time. You can play this game with 2 people or more. You can start the conversation by randomly asking or answering some of the questions or, if you need some more guidance, you can use the game rules. Although in the end, there really is just one rule: Whatever is discussed on the table, stays there!
