Playin' the Game

What you see below is how we get from Start to Finish as of June 2022, but don’t be surprised to see adjustments made to the games as we go along, and you can expect your ding-dong host to bungle things in the moment too. 

 

Introducing players

In this mock episode, we have Your Mum goin’ up against These Nuts. She’s probably gonna put a hurtin’ on These Nuts, ‘cause – well – you know Your Mum.

Trying Trivia

It’s like most trivia, but the question’s harder than it needs to be, the hints are damn-near useless, and the answer’s hella simple – like the host. Answering a trivia question correctly on the first try moves the player ahead 4 spaces. Three hints are available per question, dropping one space moved per hint.

Word Manaje

Players have 10 seconds to come up with a 3-6 letter word in Word Manaje (Manaje is pronounced like ménage à trois, but more Brooklyn-nasaly on the ‘aje’). Bonus space awarded if they manajalate a word outta their ass – and the host likes it.

Deck o’ Deuces

Five pairs in each Deck o’ Deuces, with players exchanging turns  no make-it take-it. Our current themed sets are Schitt’s Creek and The Office, but we’ll be creating a custom Freeman’s Table deck with the help of fans and players soon. Players move spaces equivalent to pairs found.

Midway through the games, we play Dammit Dice, like, “Dammit, dice!” So, that’s what it’s called. The players gotta come up with a sentence that corallates – no. Collarates? Caroleats? The letters and words gotta match the dice. Their sentence gets a score of 0-5, equalling spaces moved.

If there’s no winner yet, we’re in the Bonus Round with Deuce Caboose, which is the same as Deck o’ Deuces, but at the end, and with 15 cards: 7 pairs and a rando. Each pair automatically moves the players 2 spaces toward the finish line.

Finally, if Your Mum and These Nuts still haven’t brought it home, we do another round of Deuce Caboose with the cards face up. (You might think this joke would get old to the host, but not yet, folks. Not yet.)

So...

Your Mum probably wouldn’t play these games, but These Nuts, and many other nuts, are totally down. We’re talking about talented, hilarious knuckleheads, and some regular, non-comedian knuckleheads who are probably funny too. Anyway, speaking of money, if you haven’t seen 42 other mentions of the Patreon page, here’s another. The button is a link to support monthly and get access too er’thang first. Or just do it ’cause you luuuuuh me.
