DEER LORD! (2016)

About this game

A bizarre and ingenious party game where you have to 'do things' without being accused by the other players. Be sneaky, act crazy, manipulate the group and get creative if you want to win! The game consists of a deck of 2 types of playing cards: DUELS to play during your turn. Choose your opponent, battle it out, and the group decides the winner. ...but that's just to keep the game going, the 'DO SOMETHING' cards are what it's all about! These are instructions you have to carry out during the other players' turns in such a way that they can verify it happened when you confess BUT if they call you out, you'll have to try again. DEER LORD! is a social game, and the opinions of the players determine the gameplay. Win over your friends to win the game! This BASIC game fits any occasion and is suitable for any type of player. If you're looking to spice it up, add one or more of the 3 expansions.

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 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
