The Notebook Game, the only game that actively gets worse intentionally!
Okay, so you’re probably wondering what the hell I’m on about, but trust me, this is possibly my favorite card game and I need more people to experience it!
Required Materials:
- Notebook
- Playing Cards (possibly multiple decks if you need it)
- People
The basic idea is that every time somebody wins, they get to add another rule to the game!
Set Up:
Take your notebook and write down the “core rules” in the first page of the book.
- The game begins with everyone being dealt the same amount of cards (agreed on before starting)
- On your turn, you can either put down a card with the same suit or value as the previous card played, or pass.
- If you break a rule and are called out, draw one card.
- At the beginning of a session, rules may be discussed, but after the first game begins, nobody is allowed to discuss rules.
- The first person to get rid of all their cards wins. The winner gets to write down another rule in the notebook, announce it to everyone once, and then close the book before starting a next game
Game play
That’s basically it! Keep the notebook and use it for later sessions, it gets so much more fun as people add random rules.
Some rule examples:
- When someone plays (suit), everyone must do (action)
- No discussion of movies made after 2007 at the table!
- You have to thank someone if they call you out
- When you have one card left, close your eyes!
- Basically whatever random thing you feel like
Genuinely this is my favorite game to play with people, it’s so much fun trying to remember 70 different rules and contingencies while your friends just sit there waiting for you to screw up I can’t reccomend this enough please try it
i just realized i can rb my own posts so i’m just going to throw this one back out because i want to share this with more people
