  • Patent number: 10518166
    Abstract: In this board game, players take turns being the Chief and rating their level of agreement with prompts such as: “For $1000, I would be willing to wear the same underwear for a week without washing it.” The opinions are guessed using a scale from 1 (“Frostbite!—Completely Disagree”) to 10 (“All Ablaze!—Completely Agree”). Before the Chief reveals his/her rating, all of the other players guess the Chief's response using secret voting tokens, and all the votes are revealed simultaneously. At the end of the round, the closest matches score victory points. With over 700 cards already written, the prompts cover an enormous range of topics from intimate to hilarious, from every-day to fantastical, from family-oriented to party-friendly. Since the point system requires collecting points of all colors in order to win, you cannot win simply by knowing one other player extremely well.
