    So if this is of interest to anyone here, I strongly recommend getting the Snake Oil card game. The basic premise is you have one player (the potential buyer) pick a profession card, then the other players choose from two word cards in their hands, and have 60 seconds to sell it to the potential buyer. Potential buyer chooses winner, and a new player becomes the potential buyer.

    For added twist, I like to have a questions phase where the sellers get to attack each others’ products. Truly a blast, especially if there’s a bit of drinking going on

      Fun : 6, 21, 14.

      6 + 14 = 20.

      20 < 21. 21

      Fun is 3 letters.

      21 / 3 = 7

      Sarcasm = 7 letters

      Sarcasm = Fun.

      Illuminati confirmed.

    I’ve always wanted to have PowerPoint parties where everyone creates a short presentation or pitch on something. I don’t know how to ask my friends to do homework when everyone is 30+ though lol

            Ah right. Yeah, talking points is a lot more about improve and trying to wing it, meanwhile patently stupid is very much the “sell a pitch” idea. Similar, yet quite different.

            Jackbox got a lot of cool game ideas

        I’ve got a ton of autistic friends and a high suspicion that I’m autistic.

        This made me laugh my ass off.

    Illuminati was pretty much Glenn Beck’s schtick and it made him soooo much money
