GD: Have you published any other board games?ĮP: I’ve done twelve games, five of which are Loaded Questions games. So that’s the start of my board games–it started with the one idea. Today the game has sold a million copies and it’s at Target, Toys R Us, Barnes & Noble, Borders, all the websites and such. The following year they brought it into all stores, and that’s kind of the early success of Loaded Questions. That year, 1997, Toys R Us decided to test it in about a hundred stores and it tested very well. I sold about 1,000 games, I got a lot of good media coverage. During the trip the game was pretty successful. You know, I’d splurge on a Motel 6 if I needed to. Very few responsibilities, so I was able to camp out and sleep cheaply. I was just out of college, I wasn’t married, no kids, like I am now. Shortly after that, I started driving around the country for 16 weeks selling the game out of the trunk of my car to mom and pop stores. Not too many weeks or months afterward I produced 5,000 copies of my first game, Loaded Questions. I thought the idea was great, I quit my job, invited friends over for pizza and beer. At the age of 23 I had an idea for a board game while I was working as a copywriter at an ad agency in Miami. If more than six people want to play, simply double up with another player, take turns answering questions, and combine forces in choosing favorite answers and guessing 'who wrote what'.Eric Poses: I’m 35, I live in Miami, and I’ve been in the world of board games for 13 years now. Players will decide how long a player has to determine an answer. There are no categories for the questions, and no right or wrong answers to any of the questions. In the unlikely event two players reach the WIN space on the same turn, then both players win the game! Notes On Play Players are not required to land on the WIN space with an exact advance. The first player to land on the WIN space wins the game (either by matching answers correctly, writing the favorite answer, or advancing on a Party Favor). Otherwise, simply play any one of the four questions on the card. If your game piece is on one of these spaces and you draw a card with a Party Foul or Favor, you must play the Party Foul or Favor before playing any one of the three remaining questions on the card. With each of the 16 Party Fouls and 16 Party Favors scattered among the questions, you and sometimes your fellow players have a chance of moving back or advancing one space.before you play one of the three remaining questions on the card. Used cards can be placed at the bottom of the deck. The player who wrote your favorite answer advances two spaces on the board. You advance one space for every correctly matched answer. The player to your right reveals which player wrote which answer. Whether you like an answer because it was hilarious, honest, creative or ridiculous, it is up to you in deciding your 'favorite'. Players should be discreet when answers are read aloud, and when you are selecting your favorite answer and guessing 'who wrote what'. The reader should familiarize himself/herself with the answers before reading them aloud. It helps to hear the question again before answers are read aloud. (You will not see the handwriting, because the player to your right is reading the answers aloud).Īfter hearing ALL of the answers, you must FIRST pick your favorite answer and THEN guess which player wrote which answer. (There are no right or wrong answers, but players are encouraged to get creative with their answers!)Īll answers are collected, shuffled, and read aloud by the player to your right. However, Party Fouls/Favors cannot be played.Īll other players (not you) secretly write their personal answer to the question on their answer sheet. If your game piece is on Start, you can choose any question on the card. (If you're on an orange space, read aloud the orange question). Pick the top card and read aloud the question (or Party Foul/ Favor) matching the colored space you're on. Select game pieces and place them on the Start space.Īll players take an answer sheet and pencil and write their name at the top of their sheet. Place the gameboard and shuffled question cards facedown in the middle of the play area. The first player to race around the board and land on the WIN space wins the game!
