Players first choose one of the colorful (some may say offensive) identity cards and matching voting cards to play. Then one player will take on the role of the dictator, take one of the question cards, and read it aloud to the group.

You might also want to discuss the end-game point total. If you want the game to finish when someone wins a set amount of points, say 10 points, then make sure everyone knows before the game begins. 3. Playing Bad People Included: 290 Hilarious Cards, 10 Player Identity Cards (up to 10 people can play at once), 170 Question Cards, 100 Voting Cards, 10 Double Down Cards. Great for groups and an epic bonus optional adult drinking games variant included.You start by having the last person who arrived go first and take on the role of The Dictator. You then draw one of the white cards and ask the group a question like, as seen above, " Who would be the easiest to kidnap?" The Dictator makes a choice from all the people in their hand (includingthemselves) and lays it on the table. Then going left, everyone votes on who they believe the dictator chose. Then, everyone reveals their choices one-by-one, until the Dictator reveals their choice last. If you guess correctly, you get a point, and the first to seven wins the game Jon Roozenbeek, study co-author also from Cambridge University, said: “We are shifting the target from ideas to tactics. By doing this, we are hoping to create what you might call a general ‘vaccine’ against fake news, rather than trying to counter each specific conspiracy or falsehood.” After the scores have been written down, play another round! The player to the left of the Dictator becomes the new Dictator.

The researchers also found that those who registered as most susceptible to fake news headlines at the outset benefited most from the “inoculation”. With this in mind, however, the study found the game to be almost equally effective across age, education, gender, and political persuasion. Bad News has ideological balance built in: players can choose to create fake news from the left and right of the political spectrum. Each player chooses a Player Identity Card (Gray) and places it face up in front of them. This identifies every player with a picture for voting purposes, for when you vote for your friends. Cards Against Humanity is playable with two players with some adjustments to the rules although the revisions can change the feel of the game. The official way to play is to introduce a dummy player, but two players can also both provide the answers if they can agree about which one is funniest. Dan Wojciechowski’s variant keeps the original elements and adds in a new angle of outwitting your opponent. If you are correct, then you earn two points instead of one at the end of the round. Double-down cards can only be used once and should be discarded once used. 5. Drinking Game RulesThere is an option to add in an imaginary player called Rando Cardrissian to spice things up a little.
