3 Things Naughty or Nice rewards the angels and devils among us while training you for outrageous circumstances such as: being tracked by rabid toddlers, moaning after every sentence, and dangling from the edge of a cliff.
Read life-and-death training scenarios, then quickly choose between 110 bizarre—and bizarrely helpful—objects to improvise the perfect barbaric or benevolent survival strategy.
Object
Earn the most Rations by creating the best survival plans.
Setup
Place the Things in the center of the table. Shuffle the Survival Scenarios and place them to the side. Place the Scoring Rations and Naughty or Nice Bonus Rations to the side. Designate one player to be the “official” whistle blower for the group (optional) and give them the whistle.
Starting the Game
The person that most recently used a spork is the first judge. Play proceeds clockwise.
Play
The judge picks a Survival Scenario card from the top of the deck and reads it out loud. Players then race to gather three Things that will help them withstand the Survival Scenario. If any player or players are slow to collect their objects, all other players are encouraged to heckle them into making a quick decision.
Optional: If heckling the player or players doesn’t seem to be working, the designated whistle blower can blow the whistle thereby ending the round even if all survivalists have not collected three Things.
Note: It’s always more fun if everyone has three Things, but dang it Karen, we don’t have all night!
After all players have gathered their Things or the whistle has been blown, each player explains to the judge their survival plan crafted around each Thing they’ve collected. Plans can be outlandish and creative but always convincing; whatever will sway the judge to give as many life-sustaining Rations as possible. During each round, the judge will also give one Bonus Ration to the devil or angel among you that crafts the naughtiest or nicest survival tale.
