RULES OF THE GAME
StoryLine: players split into pairs (married partners) – and play against each other
Objective:one partner plays to get married – the other partner plays to not get married
Contents: There are two card sets – reasons to get married – reasons to not get married
Setting Up:decide if you are going to play for the pots of gold and whether the players are going to add to the start pot of gold during the game and how much this will be for each player
Game Play: roll the dice to take turns in moving your character card – when you land on a white board tile you collect a card from the reasons not to get married card set When you land on a green board tile you collect a card from the card set – reasons to get married
Special Conditions: There are NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE Point cards which are collected throughout the game. When you are able to counteract a card played – you collect a positive card The player who has played the card collects a NEGATIVE card
If you are unable to counteract a card played – then you collect the negative card and the player who has played the card collects a POSITIVE card
Scoring: when a card is played the partner must counteract the card using the opposite card – If a player cannot counteract the card which has been played then they loose a point (minus one point) If the card played can be counteracted – then the player who played the first card looses a point (minus one)
Winning: The first player who is playing to get married reaches 10 points (plus) can get married and wins the game
OVERVIEW OF THE GAME
All eight players have split into pairs – one playing to leave the relationship and another player playing to get married
Once players have rolled the dice to move their character around the board and collect cards from landing on either the white board squares (LET’S NOT GET HITCHED and take a card from the REASONS NOT TO GET MARRIED CARD SET) or the green board squares (LETS GET HITCHED – and take a card from the REASONS TO GET MARRIED CARD SET)
The cards you have collected may be played at any time during the game once you have collected a minimum of 12 cards – this allows the players time to collect cards to counter act a card played
The player playing to leave the relationship is always the player who challenges their partner (who is playing to get married) Each card in the card sets – has a specific opposite card – so that to counter act a card played – you must play the specific opposite card which has been played to challenge their partner
Each player receives either a minus or plus card depending on the out come of the challenge – as set out below:
(as a variation to this way of playing – each player can challenge the other player with the cards they have collected)
ALLOCATION OF PLUS (+) OR MINUS POINTS
The player who makes the challenge by playing one of their cards – RECIEVES PLUS 1 (+1) POINT – if their partner cannot answer the challenge by playing the opposite card
The player who cannot answer the challenge RECEIVES MINUS 1 POINT
The player who CAN ANSWER THE CHALLENGE – by playing the specific opposite card – RECIEVES PLUS 1 POINT
and the player who played the card and made the challenge – RECEIVES MINUS 1 POINT
