01 — Pick
The player whose turn it is picks one question card from the deck.
Bad Idea is designed so a group can open the deck and start playing in minutes.
The player whose turn it is picks one question card from the deck.
Read the question and give your answer. Answering is part of the game.
Once the answer is shared, the group reacts, asks follow-ups, jokes, remembers stories and talks.
When the conversation naturally winds down, the round ends and the next player picks a card.
Every player gets exactly one Skip. You can use it whenever you want. Once used, it is gone.
There is no winner, loser, leaderboard or score. The goal is connection and conversation.
The website has a playable demo using real Bad Idea question-card artwork.
