How to make your own OdiousLists
Option 1:
Time: super fast, Cost: super cheap
Because there's a sucker born every minute
Time: super fast, Cost: super cheap
- Download the PDF and print out one copy of the game for each player on regular printer paper (everybody has to have a pen too).
- Set a two minute timer with your cell phone.
- Go to www.randomlettergenerator.com to pick a letter (or just have somebody shout a random letter before starting the round).
- That’s it. It’s so easy to do yourself that we probably shouldn't just be giving it away for free. But we do it cause we love you.
Because there's a sucker born every minute
- Pay us $50, and we’ll make a set for you (includes enough for six players). This is an objectively terrible offer, and you're a moron for doing it. But to be nice we may throw in some additional rounds that aren't available for download. And maybe even a love note.
OdiousList Instructions
Gameplay
Winning
- To start, each player should have a packet of lists, a blank sheet, and a pen.
- To start a round, everybody should be on the same list (so, for example, everybody could start on OdiousList #1).
- Roll the alphabet die to choose a letter.
- Once a letter is chosen, begin the round by starting the timer.
- For each category on the sheet, fill in something that starts with the chosen letter that fits into that category. Use the same letter to start your answer for all six categories in the list. Your answer can be a word, phrase, sentence, sound, or anything that may fit that category.
- At the end of each round, everybody takes turns reading their answer for the first category out loud. Players get points for any answer that fits the category that did not match any other player’s answer.
- Disputes: if there is a disagreement over whether or not an answer should count for a category there’s a vote on whether or not it should be included. Majority rules. Tie goes to the challenged (the player who wrote the answer in question wins).
- Before the round starts, choose one person to be the judge. The judge doesn’t fill out answers for that round. Play with your phone or something.
- When the round is over, players take turns reading their answers to the judge. The judge chooses their favorite.
Winning
- The winner is the player with the most points after three rounds. Or after however many rounds you feel like playing.
Fuck it, we're millennials... EVERYONE’S A WINNER!
