goal
End up with the fewest meh!n cards when the game ends. The game ends when one of the players has no more meh!n cards in her hand.
set up
Shuffle the blue (Feeling Lucky?) cards and place them face down in a pile.
Shuffle the pink (meh!n and Yeah but…) cards together. Deal each player five cards from this pile, and place the rest face down in a pile.
*Tip for small hands and a big deck: Break the deck into a few smaller sections and shuffle each of those.
During the game, the players create an Undateables pile for rejected meh!n cards.
During the game, each player creates a personal Pile of Shame (aka The Pile of Character Building Experiences).
ready player one
Decide who will be player one. Some possible ways to decide:
- Whoever hasn’t had sex in the longest time
- Whoever is most recently single
- Whoever went on a dating app last
*Cards are not drawn to scale
game play
Player 1 places a meh!n card from her hand in front of any player (the dater) who she thinks will date that meh!n for at least the time indicated in the circle on the card.
Player 1 (or anyone) can add as many Yeah but… cards to make the meh!n more appealing to the dater.
Player 1 (or anyone) can add as many Yeah but… cards to make the meh!n more appealing to the dater.
Now one of two things can happen…
the dater swipes right
(she says yes)
The dater accepts that she will date the meh!n for the time indicated (or longer). She adds the meh!n to her personal Pile of Shame. She adds the Yeah but… cards to her hand to use on someone else. Game play now continues to the player left of Player 1.
the dater swipes left
(she says no)
The dater would rather get a bikini wax than date this meh!n. Everyone now gets to vote based on what is known of her dating history.
If It Comes to a Vote
majority vote NO (or a tie)
If majority vote decides the dater would not date the meh!n for the time indicated (or a tie vote), the meh!n goes in the Undateables pile, she gets to keep the Yeah but… cards to use on someone else, and she draws a Feeling Lucky? card. Player One also has to draw a new meh!n card.
majority vote Yes
If majority vote decides the dater would (or did) date the meh!n, the dater puts the meh!n in her personal Pile of Shame. She adds the Yeah but… cards to her hand to use on someone else. Finally, she draws a Feeling Lucky? card and does what it says.
continue playing
continue
playing
The game now continues to the left of Player One. Player Two places a meh!n card in front of any dater she thinks will date the meh!n for the time indicated on the card…
Repeat this until…
the game ends...
The game ends when one of the players has no more meh!n in her hand. She might still have Yeah but… cards.
find the winner
Everyone counts the meh!n cards in their hand and in their personal Pile of Shame.
The player with the fewest total meh!n wins. She should be lauded for her savvy dating sense. She wins the golden rabbit (metaphorically speaking).
Two-Player Game instructions
Two-player game follows the same rules as a regular game, but with the following modifications:
1) At the start of the game, deal each player 8 cards from the pink backed pile (meh!n and yeah but… cards)
2) There really isn’t any voting in a two player game. So, if there is disagreement, put the meh!n card into the Undateables pile, player one draws a new meh!n card, and player two has to take a Feeling Lucky? card and do what it says.
3) If the Feeling Lucky? card says to hand off the card to the person on your left, give the card back to player one.
