Mr. Game! 2015

Mr. Game! is a family-friendly party board game where one player has the power to create permanent rules during the game.

MECHANICS: Players use a simple roll-and-move system to navigate the board - roll two four-sided dice, choose one of the options, and move. If you land on a space with an ! on it, you draw a card from the game's singular tall stack of chaotic cards. The ultimate goal of the game is to land on the goal, but the goal can change places during the middle of the game if a special GOAL SWITCH Action card is drawn.

CARDS: There are three kinds of cards in Mr. Game! - Actions, Powerups, and Badges. If you draw an Action, you must play it immediately and discard it. If you draw a Powerup, you must play it immediately, but it stays in play and affects your character's natural abilities (sometimes positively, sometimes negatively). If you draw a Badge, you may play it whenever you want, and you are allowed to keep it concealed.

TILES: Many cards will bring Tiles into play. These small chipboard squares are essentially movable spaces that can be placed anywhere on the board. They change the layout of the board as soon as the enter play, adding spaces, removing spaces, or transfiguring spaces to have ridiculous, game-altering effects! They can be as simple as another ! space, or they can be as crazy as a Portal that transports you across the board!

MR. GAME: Before the game begins, someone must volunteer to be Mr. Game. (They can change their title, but the default is Mr. Game) Players must direct all questions to Mr. Game. This character is in charge of adding permanent rules to the game if the need arises. The game is purposely designed so that the core rules allow you to play but leave out specific details. Mr. Game's job is to fill in these details as the game goes on. The more creative Mr. Game is, the more fun everyone has! Other players at the table are encouraged to suggest ideas, but Mr. Game has the final say. If you don't like how they are "Mr. Game-ing", or they break one of the core tenets of being Mr. Game, just impeach them!

Mr. Game! is designed to be simple to learn. If you just read this entire description, you already know how to play! Oh, and if you have a question... well, ask Mr. Game!
