In Say Anything, players answer open-ended questions like "What is the most overrated band of all time?" Everyone writes down answers, then the questioner secretly picks their favorite. Other players bet on which answer was chosen. The game features humor, social interaction, and light bluffing, creating lively discussions and laughs.
Who Is This Game For?
Say Anything is a party game for 3 to 8 players aged 13 and up. Its short playtime of about 30 minutes suits casual groups and requires no prior experience. It's ideal for players who enjoy social, humorous gameplay with simple betting mechanics.
How It Works
One player draws and reads a question from a card. Other players write answers on paper and place them face-up. The questioner secretly selects their favorite answer using a special device. Then, the other players use two betting tokens to wager on the chosen answer. Points are awarded for correct bets and for having the selected answer.
