A Question of Scruples (1984)

About this game

Scruples... The game that poses 252 moral dilemmas on issues of work, money, friends, family, neighbors and, of course relationships! User review: Each player is dealt five dilemma cards, each with a question of scruples, and one reply card. Each reply card says, “Yes,” “No,” or “Depends.” If the player can correctly match another’s reply with a dilemma card from one’s own hand, then the dilemma card is discarded. Otherwise, the dilemma card is replaced with another card from the dilemma card deck. Mismatched responses can be challenged and put to a vote of the other players. The first player to surrender all of one’s own cards is the winner. Official rules: http://www.scruplesgame.com/rules.html

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 12.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
