Quick answers
Does the reader need to have never done it?
In the spoken version, say something you have not done. With prepared cards, the reader can simply read the next prompt.
Can we play without keeping score?
Yes. Say “I have” or “I haven’t” and enjoy the conversation. Sharing the story is optional.
What about drinking or remote play?
Alcohol is optional for adults of legal drinking age. To play remotely, create a room and share the link, or use your usual video call.
