INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAYING
For 2 players on a date or a ‘date night’,
For those preparing for a date, at a party or an event,
or play with absolutely anyone!
CONTENTS:
1 board
1 mini car
1 die
4 sets of cards
(totaling 500 cards) in a "match box"
2 sets of instructions
The players should sit opposite each other on either side of the board or on the same side with the ability to address each other directly and make eye contact. Ladies always go first. The mini car starts at the START box and moves in the direction of the arrows. The first player throws the die and moves the number of spaces accordingly. That player then follows the directions printed on the space they land upon.
For a new relationship, it’s recommended to use the black ICEBREAKER cards.
As the relationship progresses, it’s recommended to use the blue GETTING TO KNOW YOU cards.
When you’re ready to go to the next level, it’s recommended to use the red SERIOUSLY? cards.
The fourth pack of cards (green) is for those dates with partners who have been PREVIOUSLY MARRIED and should be used in addition to the other packages of cards. Of course, you can use the cards in any creative way you wish.
When the space reads “Pick one (or 2 or 3) card(s)” the player should do so from the appropriate pack and read it out loud. The question on the card is for him or her to answer. Keep in mind the tips on the INTRODUCTION sheet accompanying this game. There is no time limit on answers. Some will lead to discussion, others may not. When the player has finished answering the question, he or she should put the card in their own private pile but keep it handy. They will need that pile soon. After answering, it’s the next player’s turn and he or she throws the die. They then continue to move the car from the previous space to the appropriate space and follow those directions as above. If a question is not applicable, the players should agree to pass.
WHEN THE CAR LANDS ON A DATE LOCATION, both players are to pick up the pile of cards which they’ve already answered and SWITCH with their partner. Each player should now answer each of the other person’s questions. Start with the player who just moved the car. When both players have answered all of each other’s questions, discard those cards back into the box. They will not be used again in this game.
This route of play continues until the car reaches the end of the board, at which time the car returns to START and the game continues. Keep playing until both players are exhausted. Remember where you were up to so that you can continue on the next date!
What else can we say? We hope you BOTH WIN !!!!
