Game Daze Tucson Mall Manager Recommendation, July 2011

Gerri -

Itchy trigger finger? Try having an itchy trigger hand! Blue Orange has a new party / family / travel / sleep-over / camping / whenever game called TRIGGER. You can play 3 - 8 fun people but, it is advised that heavy rings not be worn. (We always think that's half the fun but....)

The object of the game is to have the most cards at the end. Shuffle and deal out 5 cards to each player and place the foam target in the middle of the table. Put the cards face down in front of you and wait for the first moderator to read the first question to "trigger" a response. It could be something like, "The Titanic is still in use.", or "I have 5 pairs of fingers.", or even "The opposite of false is true." All players then respond by slapping at the target as fast as they can with either their right or left hand. If they believe the answer is TRUE they use their RIGHT hand. If they think the answer is FALSE they use their LEFT hand. It sounds super simple, right? Wrong! Some of the answers to the question may be True for me but False for you. For example: "You wear a ring on your left hand." It's True for me but, False for all of my unmarried friends.

The moderator then looks at all the hands and decides who answered correctly first and incorrectly first. If you answer correctly first, put the question card on the bottom of your face down stack. (The color on the back of the card will tell the moderator for the next round what question to ask next.) If you are the first to answer incorrectly then you lose a card from your stack and place it in the game box. As soon as someone runs out of cards the game ends and whoever has the most left over wins.

I love the newest edition to the pocket tin games from Blue Orange. The price and value are perfect for anyone. This game in particular has 6 questions per card and there are 60 cards which makes for a lot of game play. Games like this one, Spot It and Tell Tale are so easy to pop in your purse or leave in your glove compartment or even put in a stocking. Anyone who needs a quick, easy, and fun time is going to enjoy this game immensely.
