The game requires a minimum of 3 people, but you can play with up to 6. If you have more than 6 players, allow folks to form teams so everyone gets in on the fun. You don’t trade or swap answer cards. Players hold on to these for the entirety of the game.
Unlike games like Cards Against Humanity, players do not come up with their own answers. Each question card is multiple choice (A, B, C, or D).
In the bottom right of each card, there is a black label telling you which category the question belongs to (like “life,” “hair,” or “movies”). You can read the category out loud if you want, but it’s not required.
For example, the host might say, “Alright, majority rule card. What’s the worst thing that can happen at the hair salon? A. You get burned by a flat iron. B. They cut your hair too short. C. It takes forever to get a chair. Or, D. You’re under the dryer for too long. ”
If a player doesn’t share an answer, they automatically lose a point. It’s especially important for players to flip their answers over at the same time on majority rule questions, since a player who waits to see everyone else’s answer can cheat and change their card at the last minute.
You can allow players to keep track of their own points if everyone is trustworthy (it’s a party game, after all), or have one player keep track of everyone’s points on a piece of paper.
There’s no official rule on whether the host role moves clockwise or counterclockwise, so it doesn’t matter so long as you pick a direction and stick with it. You get a strategic advantage by being the host since you can’t lose a point if you’re judging the round, so make sure all the players host an equal amount of time!
Remember, this game is meant to be tongue and cheek. Nobody is “less black” just because they lose an opinion-based trivia game!
