CHATTERBOX - The Good News - Bad News Game.
This simple game comprises two decks of cards - Good News and Bad News - which are shuffled together to form a pack. Players sit in a circle, with one being elected to start.
The starter draws the top card from the deck and reads it aloud and throws the "Chat Bag" (bean bag) to one of the other players who must then come up with a response to statement read.
e.g.
The Good News is .... the Mother-in-law is coming to dinner
The Bad News is ....
The responder then takes the next card reads it aloud and throws the "Chat Bag" to another player.
Play continues like this until a player is eliminated under one of the following circumstances:
- The order of Good News - Bad News is forgotten
- A player hesitates for too long before giving a response
- The same response is given more than once.
The game is won by the last player left in the game.
