Option 1:
Time: ~15 minutes, Cost: super cheap ($15 - $20 to buy a block stacking game)

Because you have too much money, not enough time, and very few brain cells

- Download the PDF and print it out on regular paper.
- Take some scissors and cut out the boxes, keeping the truths and dares separate (you can put them in separate sandwich bags).
- Buy a generic block stacking game. Every time somebody pulls a block, they choose either a truth or a dare out of one of the bags. The rest of the rules are standard (instructions here).

- Download the PDF.
- Call your local print shop to make sure they have full sized sticky paper (also called 8 1/2 x 11 label paper). If they have it, get the game printed on that. Alternately you can order the label paper online and print at home.
- Cut out the boxes (keeping the truths and dares separate).
- Take a generic block stacking game and stick a truth on one side and a dare on the other of each block (note: there are 57 truths and 57 dares in OdiousBlocks… if the block stacking game you buy only has 54 blocks, just don’t use your three least favorite truths/dares).

OdiousBlocks Instructions
This one is pretty simple… try to keep up.
NOTE: There’s a good chance that a block will get pulled twice in the same game (because you put the blocks back on top after pulling them, genius). When this happens, whoever pulls the block the second time must choose the truth/dare that wasn’t done the first time the block was pulled. Once a block is pulled twice in one game, don’t stack it back on top, just take it out and don’t use it for the rest of the party.
- Stack the blocks up three by three to build a tower.
- A player starts by removing a block from the tower and choosing to either answer the truth or do the dare on the block.
- After answering the truth/doing the dare, the player stacks the block on the top of the tower. Then the next player goes.
- If a player refuses to do the truth or the dare on the block, that’s ok, they can put that one on top of the stack and pick another (note: you can choose to set a limit to the number of times a player may skip before starting the game).
