HOW TO PLAY

Four steps.
Zero complicated rules.

Bad Idea is designed so a group can open the deck and start playing in minutes.

01 — Pick

The player whose turn it is picks one question card from the deck.

02 — Answer

Read the question and give your answer. Answering is part of the game.

03 — Discuss

Once the answer is shared, the group reacts, asks follow-ups, jokes, remembers stories and talks.

04 — Pass

When the conversation naturally winds down, the round ends and the next player picks a card.

The one Skip

Every player gets exactly one Skip. You can use it whenever you want. Once used, it is gone.

No scoring

There is no winner, loser, leaderboard or score. The goal is connection and conversation.
