Pickles

Pickles from Ridley’s Games will get people talking! Think you know how your friends feel about the things that really matter? No, we don’t mean politics or the economy; we’re talking pickles, perms, people who eat from your plate—the important stuff! It’s time to uncover the truth. Just remember to keep your cool, okay? There are over 470 love-‘em or hate-‘em topics to choose from across seven categories: Melody Mayhem, Something Tasty, People Pleaser, Let’s Play, Couch Potato, Been There, and Really Random! As you play, things can get juicy, and by the end, everyone will certainly have learned some truths about each other. This fast-paced party game is often frantic, sometimes thoughtful, and always a jarful of fun. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to say it, rate it, and grab it! Made for friends who think they know everything about each other, Pickles is suitable for ages 13+, 3–8 players (or more if you’re in teams) and takes around 20 minutes to play—although that’s really up to you! How to Play: It’s easy to learn and simple to play; just say it, rate it, and grab it! Take the lead and draw a card from over 470 love-‘em or hate-‘em topics, then say it aloud. Now instinctively and secretly rate how you feel about it—Sour; So-So, or Sweet—then put on your best poker face as the other players try to guess your rating. After all, how well do they know you, really? This is where things can get spicy. When everyone’s ready, you all flip over your Rating cards at the same time. If any other players match your rating, then the race is on for them to grab your Topic card and win the point! Once that madness is over and the disbelieving chat about your rating subsides (“What?! But you’ve always said you love watching Die Hard at Christmas!”); then the player on your left takes the lead, so you’re in the grabbing game now. The honesty and tension will continue until a player collects seven Topic cards and is crowned the winner! Who It’s For: Perfect for people with strong opinions and friends who think they know everything about each other. What‘s Inside: 476 Topic cards, 24 Rating cards, and English instructions.
