I have had the game for some time now but I knew I could only whip it out to the (in)appropriate group of friends. This particular bunch consisted of writers. I mean, since they make fictional people suffer every day, what I was asking them wasn't too much. The game is simple to understand, yet so hard to play. You have your rounds, during each of which one person is the leader, or the Card Czar. The Czar picks up a card from the black deck of cards and reads the question or sentence aloud. The rest of the players then look at the white cards in their hand and pick the one (or ones) they think make the most disgusting/disturbing/shocking/hilarious combination. Sadly, no additional points are scored if players manage to do all four. They proceed by placing their card face down on the table for the Czar to shuffle. Once the cards are shuffled, they are turned face up and the Czar goes on to read the black card and each of the white cards individually. It helps if they can read them with a straight face. None of my group members could.
What should I read with this?
Being surrounded by cameras and microphones; feeling compelled to publicly share our location or friends' names; having our online purchases catalogued; being politically correct, even when telling jokes.
My point is, we have the impression of being free and uncensored, but maybe if we took a step back and saw the big picture, we might get an inkling of how accurate Orwell was.
