Bad Habit

aNswer with number or take a deep breath

One pulls his hair, the other is evasive on the most simple questions? And the third one takes deep breaths all the time? Are they barmy or have problems? No, they are playing Bad Habit and adhere to the rules.

50 cards feature three funny habits each, bad manners or even quirks, all in all a colorful mix of grammatical errors, physical quirks or conspicuous language habits.

Cards are shuffled and stacked face-down. The first player draws a card, chooses one of the three quirks listed and puts the card down face-down. No players in turn ask questions and you answer them truthfully, unless the quirk you chose demands something else, and incorporate your quirk into the answer. You are not allowed to incorporate additional quirks for a smoke-screen. If you do incorporate another tick and are caught, you have made a present of one card for a point to each player. This also happens if you do not manage to incorporate your tick and are caught in your failure. If you answered, your questioner can give one guess – if he is correct, he gets the card. When the quirk was not guessed, the next player asks a question and guesses after your answer. When your tick was not guessed after six questions, the card is set aside and the next player in clockwise direction draws a new card for a new round. You win with three cards that you gained.

Bad Habit is a nice idea for a cute party game with very nicely chosen bad habits and quirks, albeit bad habits that are very difficult to incorporate without being caught. This especially is the case when you play often with the same group and quirks are repeated. But it is fun, all the same!
