Title: Unghh
They didn't see it coming, the nerds at Comic Con,
When a bunch of zombies near the stage came ambling on.
"Brains!" they cried, as well as wanting tastes like cheek and liver.
The nerds (in their expanded state) stood shaking, fat a-quiver.
As you can tell it was greatly admired for its adherence to theme and beauty!
After all players have finished writing their poems they each take a turn reading their work of art out loud, and get a point for every rhyming word they use that no other player used, sorta like Boggle or Scattergories. After the poems have been read everyone then simultaneously votes for the poem they liked best, and receive points based on how many other players voted for the same poem they did. If you vote for yourself and you're the only one to do so, you would get no points; however, if you voted for yourself and three other players also voted for you, you would get three points.
Pros:
- It isn't like any other game.
- The results are often hilarious.
Cons:
- Those that are slow are often stared at by the other players until they finish.
- nothing blows up.
Recommendations:
- Start a timer when there are only two players left writing.
- Don't be afraid to write something ridiculous or crummy.
- Pick up this game as soon as you can, especially if you like games like Loaded Questions and Balderdash.
- Remember to snap, not clap, after a poem is performed.
Here is an exciting video of what it is like when people are writing their poems!
