Guess whos coming to dinner
A game by Bruno Faidutti
3 to 7 players
Components: 200 guest cards
A way of keeping score
1) Gameplay:
Each player is dealt 7 cards at the start of the game (6 cards with 6 players or more).
On his turn, a player
a) must draw a card
b) can discard a card from his hand and draw a replacement one. This is optional.
c) must either start a new table, or add one or more guests to an existing table.
Play then turns clockwise.
When a player draws a character he doesnt know, he can discard it under the drawing pile and draw a replacement one.
2) Starting a new table.
To start a new table, you must play 2 to 6 cards from your hand, arrange them in a circle on the table, and explain why these people are having dinner together and what they are talking about. If one or more other player finds these explanations unconvincing, a vote is held by all other players to decide if the table is accepted or not. In case of a tie, the table is accepted. If the table is rejected, you take your cards back in hand and lose your turn.
In the discussion, it can happen that the other players accept the general idea of the table, but only reject some of the guests. In this case, you take back only the cards that have been rejected by the majority of other players.
You score 1 point for each character on the table, plus one points for each suit (domain) of characters. This means one must try to have as many really different guests as possible on a table, which can make harder and more fun to justify it.
3) Add guests to an existing table
Instead of staring a new table, you can add one or more guests to an existing table, but a table may never exceed 7 guests. When adding new guests to a table, you must explain why they join the dinner and the conversation. Other player can reject these guests as with a new table/
When adding new guests to an existing table, you score points for all the guests at the table, as if you had placed all of them.
First round example:
Herv has eight cards in hand: Neil Gaiman, Britney Spears, Bill Gates, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Dilma Roussef, Roger Federer, Iggy Pop and George Clooney. He plays the cards Neil Gaiman, Dilma Roussef, Roger Federer and George Clooney, and explains that George Clooney plans to shoot a movie based on the upcoming new novel by Neil Gaiman, a fantasy story taking place in a lost temple in the heart of the Amazonian forest. Dilma Roussefs agreement is necessary to shoot the movie in Brazil, and she wants to make sure its not offensive in any way to the Brazilian and native cultures.As for Roger Federer, after his bad results in recent tournaments, he is considering giving up tennis and starting a new career as an actor, and has been approached for main role.
The other players discuss the idea and, while they think the basic idea makes sense, they dont really believe in Roger Federer starting a new career as an actor. So, they vote and accept only Dilma Roussef, Neil Gaiman and George Clooney. Herv takes back in hand his Roger Federer card and scores six points for 3 characters in three different suits.
4) Death of a character
It can happen that a player draws a guest card with a recently deceased character. In this case, instead of a dinner table, he can play the card in the center of the table, and around it guests invited to his or her burial.
5) End of the game
Game ends when a player has no more cards in hand. This player scores a bonus of 5 points. Highest total score wins.
6) Variant
To make the game more difficult, experienced games may forbid all tables based on movie castings and TV shows.
