Rules:
Divorce-Say, the divorce game where you argue your way out of marital situations & problems you are suddenly thrown into!
Suitable for ages: 16 and up
# of Players: Two or more pairs or, if there’s an odd #, have just one person be the judge.
How to choose who starts:
Each pair draws a “Woe is Me” card to see if it says “Starts First” on the front of the card. Use additional blank cards if there are more pairs playing and take turns in a clockwise rotation.
Rules:
1) Make sure all cards in each pile are shuffled.
For one time only at the beginning, each pair (in a clockwise rotation if necessary) draws one card from each of the “Lifestyle” piles, these are “How You Met,” “Marriage Duration,” “Home & Job,” and “Children/Pets.”
2) When it is each pair’s turn, they must draw a card from the “Complaint” pile and read what it says aloud.
The two players in the pair must then have an argument with just each other based on the complaint, it could be as funny or as serious as desired, and it could be something about just one of the two players if desired and there can be defense. All of the players who isn’t their turn during the argument are the Judges.
The team’s turn can last about 1-2 minutes or until the Judges decide enough.
The Judges decide who wins the argument by a vote or a combined point value.
3) There will be one winner from each pair.
To win, a player must win a best of 9 games if there are two pairs playing, or win a best of 3, 5, or 7 depending on how many pairs are playing.
Suggestions from class:
Add an argument value aspect to judge the arguments.
