Curses! |
You have two actions in each turn of this party game, the first is to draw a challenge card, which will give you an action that you must perform. It could be a role you have to act out, a story to tell, or an opinion to explain. this really doesn't have any direct bearing on the game. It is a means to get to and then play off of the second type of card you draw at the end of your turn, which is a curse card.
The curse cards are played on other players and force them to continually perform certain actions, such as barking like a dog whenever the player to the right reads a card or hold on to the card with both hands at all times. If another player notices that you are not performing your action, you "break the curse" and turn it face down in front of you. In fairy tales, breaking a curse is a good thing, but not in this game. When you break three curses, you are eliminated from the game, although you are still available to have actions performed on (such as "The other people in the room are electrified. Each time you contact one of them you get a big shock.")

Game Daze Arrowhead Mall Employee Review, February 2010
Ryan -
Curses is one of the few games that I have found that is as much fun to watch as it is to play. I will often have five people playing and their game will be entertaining dozens. So the question is, is this the right game for you? Are you willing to speak like a pirate while convincing someone to switch long distance service? Well that is not that bad, your right. How about shouting pizza toppings whenever anyone stands up, not bending your elbows, speaking like a french Scooby Do, all while demonstrating how to shave a cat. Think your ready? The game has just begun.
It starts off innocent enough you do a challenge and then hand out a curse. Then that person reads it a loud and does what it says for as long as they can. If you see someone mess up shout “CURSE BREAKER” they don't have to do it any more and flip in upside down. Break three curses and you are out of the game. Last one standing wins. It is easy enough with just one curse but wait a few rounds, that's when the game gets a life of its own.
