Board game - It's a total cringe

«Cringe – a simple game without unnecessary rules and conventions. Playing it, you can have a great time socializing with friends.

On their turn, the host reads a statement for each player. Players look at their cards with answer options and give one of the available answers. The host chooses the most unsuccessful (or whichever they want!) answer and tells the player: «It's a total CRINGE!». That player must subtract one life from their total. The game ends when someone runs out of their last life.

Game rules:

1. The coolest player becomes the host for the first turn.
2. All players familiarize themselves with their cards.
3. If you are the host, take as many statement cards as needed to read a different statement for each player.
4. Read any statement to the player on your left. The player immediately chooses one of four answers on their card and reads it. If the player hesitates with their answer, you can repeat the statement.
5. After the player has answered, move on to the next one until all players have answered their statement.
6. Choose the most unsuccessful answer, in your opinion. Think carefully, as so much depends on this!
7. Tell this player: «It's a total CRINGE!». They must move their status card down one row.

8. Then place all used statement cards in the discard pile face up.
9. Players keep their answer cards until they have used all four answers. Only when a player has run out of available answers, do they take a new card.
10. If any deck runs out, shuffle the discard pile and form a new deck.
11. The next player in clockwise order takes the role of the host. Everything repeats, but players cannot use answers that have already been said.

End of the game:

You play until one of the players reaches the last line of the status card: «GET OUT!» The winner is the one who is highest on the status card. In case of a tie, play again to definitively determine the winner!
