INSTRUCTIONS
Good Afternoon, Players.
Over the weekend, you did an exceptional job proposing THINGS for our Kickstarter Expansion Deck, with over 5000 possible THINGS submitted.
Now, let’s take it one step further.
We need at least 250 of you to come up with additional challenges for the “SAM SAYS” section of Game Changer: Home Edition.
We know it’s more work for you, players… but if you think about it, you only have yourselves to blame. After all, you were the ones who unlocked additional SAM SAYS cards for the game (back on Day 1).
To make sure your SAM SAYS suggestions are worthy of the name, we’ve got a few guidelines from Sam’s co-designer, Joshua Balvin, on what makes a great SAM SAYS challenge:
1. It’s obvious if the rule is broken.
The game will be moving fast, so you’ll want to propose rules that have a clear "win or lose" condition, and can be called out as soon as a player breaks them. Avoid ideas requiring subjective interpretation.
2. Silly is better than hard.
It's true that Game Changer is often about torturing your friends... but it should be the fun kind of torture. Focus on challenges that will make players laugh, rather than punishing them with an impossible task.
3. Uncomfortable isn’t funny.
No matter what you’ve seen on the show, Game Changer: Home Edition won’t be fun if it makes players truly uncomfortable. Remember, the contestants you see on your television are trained comedy professionals. We want Home Edition to be fun for everyone.
Got all of that, players?
