We Didn't Playtest This At All. I don't honestly know if that statement is true or not, but from the get go the game exudes a feeling of silliness and lighthearted gaming. The tricky part of reviewing this game is that I can't really describe the random antics of the game in any detail that will be sufficient without ruining the fun of discovering the game itself.
Every player gets 2 cards to start and then in order, starting with whatever player grabs a card from the deck first, draws 1 card and plays a card from their hand. To quote the game rules: "The objective of the game is to win! If you lose, you have not won, and you are in fact out of the game. If everyone except you has lost, you win!"
It's completely normal (at least for me) to lose the game before you even get a turn, but most games are so short that you can just start over again in a few minutes. Maybe you get eaten by a dragon, maybe you get sucked into a black hole, maybe you get arrowed, maybe you said the wrong thing, or maybe you threw paper when you should've thrown rock. This game is like being in the middle of a Monty Python sketch that is being made up as it goes along. The only thing I wonder is the longevity of the game once everyone knows all the cards. When the humor has started to fade, will the game still be fun? It will certainly be random still.
