Monique (Fr)

Monique is an absurd word association party game that promises to give you some crazy evenings!

Principle of the game:

Each player is dealt 4 to 5 cards, depending on the number of players. The remaining cards form a draw pile.

The first player places a face-up card of their choice and reads it out loud, for example "Goat". You have 4 choices:

1. Place a Word card face up on the previous one. Your word must be related to the previous one. If the word has an obvious connection, for example "Cheese" with "Goat", your association is validated by the other players and your turn is over. On the other hand, if your word sows doubt, another player intervenes and says "I don't see the connection". It will therefore be up to you to justify the connection between the 2 words. Everyone listens to your explanation and then they move on to the vote.

2. Place a Word card face down. This card may or may not be related to the previous word. A player can then say "You're bluffing!" You turn over your card and must justify yourself. Then comes the voting phase to see if you were convincing enough!

On the other hand, if no one calls a bluff, it is the next player's turn. We start again from the last revealed Word card.

3. Draw a card. You can play it immediately or pass your turn.

4. Play a Monique card instead of a Word card. Each card has its specificities written on it. The next player starts from the last Word card revealed.

And the humor in all this?

If during your justification you manage to make your accuser laugh, you've won! Finally your justification is validated.

Because you're going to have to get rid of all your cards to really win. Prepare your speech, the assembly is ready to vote!

Spice up your games with red cards: only take out when the children and other sensitive souls are in bed. ;)
