Can this game be played with Sheeple? Or will they likely be frightened and/or offended?

There certainly can be someone offended by the game. However, the game doesn't offend anyone directly. In fact, of there is anyone to blame then it would be the person who plays the card. For example, say there are three cards in the deck. One says "Always drive red cars". Another says "sits on the moon" and the action card displays "Everyone who picks their nose _________". Well, if a person chooses to play "Always drive red cars", and that offends you because you drive a red car, then you can't get mad at the game. If anyone, your disdain should be toward the player.

not sure what you mean by Sheeple. we have had an 18 year old and a 15 year old. I think its a little to much for a 15 year old but she was wiser than I was at that age. Offensive not to most people but maybe to a really religion mover. Some of the cards are pretty graphic but can be responded to with somethng funny that doesn't even come close to a plausible answer. We have really enjoyed it and I end of loaning it to my whole family.

I would be offended if sheeple ate my cards. If the sheeple have a sense of humor, they will love this game. Bahh

Is playing trumps violent? You know, because the King beats the Jack etc.In all seriousness this game is not only competitive but also involves treachery and betrayal.Lying and deception are built into the game and add to the fun & involvement for many players - same for Bang! and Battlestar Galactica.Still worried about the 'violence'?

The game is intended for a game master and two or more players, but it can be played by only two people. Not the published adventures, at least not easily or without heavy modification.

That is a downside of playing this game but there is an easy remedy. When we play with each other we just have the person to the right of whoever is guessing read the answers and the person who is guessing just listens. It actually works so well that we play that way with everyone else now too!

The point of the game is to try to guess which of the players answered the question with that particular answer. Who you think someone might answer one way will surprise you and have you laughing hysterically at the answers!

All kids are different, but if you moderate a few games with them so they get a handle on the rules and are used to playing the game together, I would think they should be able to play by themselves. There is no reading involved, other than learning the instructions. If they are used to playing the game and don't need to look up rules, there will be nothing they need to read in order to play.

wow thanks for replying you have saved me some worries ;) i thought it was the player giving me problems...maybe some others will respond with their experiences too...

I would not play this with them. Too many things that have not happened yet in the show would hurt the experience for them.

Yes. It may be harder and your group will probably know it came form your 10-year-old, but just pretend you don't know and move on. We don't play with the board either. We just pass the card box around and have each person host around. It's not competitive. it works better that way. Great, great game.

Yes it's appropriate, but some of the pop culture may be pretty hard. They also offer a kids version of this game. I was told by friends of mine who played it, that it was still fun for everyone.

No, each player gets info at certain points in the game and can choose how to share it. This game is more improv than scripted.

Given that there are many ways to adapt the play of this game, I think it probably would be. My son and daughter got a little frustrated by the competitive nature of the game so we changed it into cooperative play without a problem. Of course, this all depends on the manifestations of Asperger's. As with anything, the nature of the child has a large part to play in whether they will like any particular game.

Yes, that will work....just remember you are answering questions about another player, so it will be 50/50 guess.

Possibly. If they fits on the ends of the table and don't interfere with the gameplay.

Doubtful, lightly creepy annoyance. Maybe bursting into laughter. Unless you're the superstitious sort, then definitely.

No. It is played right on your local computer against computer generated players with varying Artificial Intelligence levels to simulate realistic game play!

The only other consideration is what other people say while they're playing online. Obviously that has nothing to do with the game's rating, but if you've never heard people playing something like Call of Duty, you may want to listen in first. It can get pretty vulgar.
