Objective:

This game is a true test of friendship and companionship. You are trying to think in the same mind space as your friends and vote on what is considered most important to the least important to the active player. Your goal is to gain the most points after each player has been the active player once.

Setup:

- Each player is dealt five ranking cards going from 1-5 of the same colour

- Meeples matching those colours go onto the board for all players starting at 0.

How to Play:

Each player will be the active player once. On that players turn, five word cards will be dealt to the centre of the table. Then the active player will place face-down their ranking cards next to these cards in order of importance (1 being the most, 5 being the least). Make sure to mix up the order of the cards so the selection isn't obvious to other players. Now, the other players will try and think like you and place their ranking cards face-down attempting to match your order. After this is completed all rank cards are revealed. Each player gains one point for every card correctly ordered. One additional point is also given to the player(s) that correctly matched the most cards this turn. After every player has had a chance being the active player, the player with the most amount of points obviously knows their friends the best and is deemed the winner.

Final Thoughts:

Pros:
- Due to every player only being active once the game is quick and does not overstay
- Wide player range
- Great conversation starter

Cons:
- At higher player counts the card colours blur together
- The majority of the time coupled players will know their partners best

'Say Whaaat' is a quick party game for 3-10 players. Unlike other party games, it does not outstay its welcome as each players only has one chance to the active player. This party game aids in providing ice breakers and conversation topics for party goers who may be new to the group or simply shy around others. If you are looking for these aspects while maintaining a light and jestering atmosphere, then 'Say Whaaat' is the game you are looking for.
