Privacy Quickie (2015)

About this game

In Privacy Quickie, each player receives several YES and NO answer cards, and the question cards are placed number-side-up in the middle of the table. At the beginning of the round, the start player takes the topmost question card from the draw deck and reads the question whose number corresponds to the number on top of the deck. For example: "I have taken a test drive before I was even allowed to drive!" Each player answers honestly, but secretly, by placing a YES or NO answer card face down in the middle of the table. Each player must now guess how many players have answered YES. Jot each player's guess on the scoresheet in the proper column. Shuffle the answer cards briefly, then reveal them. Anyone who guessed exactly right gets three points; anyone who was off by one gets one point. Record the points on the scoresheet in each player's left column. The game ends after 15 rounds, and whoever was best able to assess their fellow players, and thus earn the most points, wins. Privacy Quickie includes three hundred questions and can be played as a standalone game or used as an expansion for Privacy, Privacy 2, or Privacy: Scharf wie Chili.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 5 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 16 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
