In addition to books and a bunch of other random merchandise, that popular website focusing on familial agony — Awkward Family Photos — now has a board game as well.
I had the chance to check out the game (from All Things Equal) this weekend, and much like its namesake, it is both fun… and awkward.
There’s a board decorated with a plethora of awkward photos, as well as decks of cards featuring those same snaps. Each player gets five colored chips, as well as paper and pencil (which bears the game’s title).
One player flips over a card, revealing the awkwardness below, and rolls the dice. He or she matches the number on the dice to one of the numbers around the periphery of the board. Next to each number is a directive (Example: Describe what happened right before this picture was taken).
The players who did not roll the die follow the directive, writing down their answers on the piece of paper. One of the players takes the papers, reads off the contents, and then the dice roller chooses the best answer, and guesses who wrote it. The winner gets to put a chip on the corresponding photo on the board. The first person to get rid of all five clips win.
Yup. A little complicated, and well, awkward, but definitely fun if you have friends with creative (or twisted) minds.
