Game - Get the Dirt on your friends

Game - Get the Dirt on your friends Review



Game - Get the Dirt on your friends Feature

  • Each different category has different types of questions and different scoring
  • Five different question categories full of deep penetrating questions, you?ll be digging up and dishing out the dirt all night long
  • Have you slept with someone without knowing the person?s name
  • Dial in your answers on the secret voter wheel, then 1-2-3...everyone reveal ?Who was right? Who did you match? Who came clean?
  • Babooshnik Games made for grownup sensibilities
Get the dirt on your friends. This party game gets everyone airing their dirty laundry. But to win, it's not enough just to come clean; you've got to guess how the other players will answer when the truth is on the line. It involves a combination of truth and telepathy. The point of the game is to go from "dirty" to "clean". The only way to be come clean is to answer questions correctly, and for some, guess who else would either answer the same or "yes". Sounds complicated, but it really isn't. Each player picks out a clothes pin and a matching voting dial of the same color. Now the voting dials have both an inner and an outer dial. The inner dial is how you answer the question for yourself. Depending on what type of question asked your answer will be "yes, no, a, b or c". Always turn the dial so only you can see the answer until all players reveal their answer. We all flipped ours over when we were done. The outer dial is where the useful ability of telepathy comes in or you can use the old-fashioned skill known as deductive reasoning. It is a very useful skill, especially when playing with good friends. On the outer dial is where you will decide what the other players have chosen. Don't worry about remembering all of this, the cards give you instructions, and when all else fails, you can actually read the directions that came in the box. So, each player grabs a clothes pin, writes their name on the t-shirt pad of paper provided and grabs their matching voting dial. Next all the players line up in the "dirty" section of the board, and decided who the last person was that did a load of laundry. That person gets to go first. So, Player A rolls the die provided. On it, it has the categories of the five types of cards, plus a "you choose" side, so that the six-sided die actually uses all six sides. Convenient I love it when they think of these things. Once the person rolls on a category, then the player reads the card aloud.
