What it feels like
Marriage is mostly knowing what the other person will say before they say it. Tonight, each of you takes a turn as the judge, and the rest of you try to read them. Here's how it works. In a private turn, answer a few wedding prompts. You'll skip the one you're judging. Each round has a judge, and the answers to their prompt come up with no names. The judge reads them all aloud, then picks a favourite, for any reason at all. Each time the judge picks your answer, you score two points. Forget pleasing the room. Win the judge.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: answer a few prompts. You'll skip the one you're judging.
- Each round has a judge. The answers to their prompt come up with no names.
- The judge reads them all aloud, then picks a favourite — any reason counts.
- Then the names come out.
Scoring: 2 points each time the judge picks your answer.
You'll get prompts like
- “The newlyweds' first argument will be about…”
- “The real reason the couple fell in love”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
