Back Your Mate
A fast social game about confidence in your Mate(s), bluffing, and predicting what your friends can pull off in 30 seconds. Without any communication with your teammate. You place bets on your partner’s ability (trivia, quick-fire lists, physical mini-challenges, etc.), opponents can raise or call bullshit, and someone always ends up proving it. Example round: “How many push-ups can your mate do in 30sec?” Team A bids: 12 Team B bids: 13 Team A bids: 14 Team B calls: Bullshit The chosen player from Team A now has 30 seconds to deliver. If the mate completes the task, Team A gets the points - if the mate fails, Team B gets the points. You play first to 21points and challenges vary from 1-3points. Here’s the kicker: you CANNOT talk to your mate about the challenges, zero communication. So you might bid 14 push-ups on behalf of your mate, while he is sweating next to you cos he knows he can barely do 10 - that’s supposed to be a big part of the fun.
