Imaginiff.... Fun game for adult friends

Imaginiff...

Imaginiff is a very funny and entertaining board/card game by Buffalo Games. It is geared for children and adults 12 and over and requires at least three players. However I have found imaginiff... to be especially pleasing and much more entertaining when played by adult friends only. Some of the question that are to be answered in my opinion are questionable even for a twelve year old.

The Game...

The game is played in rounds, in each round one player is chosen as the "subject" of a question. The question is then read with the "subjects" name inserted in the sentence. The remaining players then choose from a list of possible answers (6) that they feel are a perfect fit for the person in question.

The Object...

The object of the game is to be the first player to reach the center space with their token on the game board. However and most importantly the object is about having fun, getting to know new friends and or having a little fun at the expense of old and close friends. During play there are three sets of cards that are matched to the spaces on the board. Each player takes their turn starting counter clockwise or clock wise. Depending on what is rolled on the die depends on how many spaces a player can move their token around the board. The board consists of spaces of which are either blank or marked indicating three different decks of cards that are to be choosen from. Below are the three different sets of cards that can be chosen from and examples of how they read.

The first set of cards are the single "subject" cards. These cards are read and each players answers the question about the "subject" that has been chosen by the individual who is currently playing out their turn.

Below are some examples of single "subject" questions:

Imaginiff... were a section of a restaurant menu. Which would he/she be?

1. Appetizers
2. Entrees
3. Desserts
4. Drinks
5. Kiddie Menu
6. Salads

Or..

Imaginiff...were a tree. Which would he/she be?

1. Cherry
2. Weeping Willow
3. Oak
4. Palm
5. Crab Apple
6. Bonsai

Imaginiff... were a fashion fad. Which would he/she be?

1. Pooped Up Shirt Collar
2. Leg Warmers
3. Zubaz Zebra Pants
4. Mood Rings
5. Ray- Ban Sunglasses
6. Toga

The second set of cards are numbered 1-8 and if one of these cards are picked the person moves their token that number of spaces.

The third set of cards are referred to as "pick a player" cards. If these cards are picked the player whose turn it is can pick from a set of three different questions that are displayed on the card. The question is read aloud and each player at the table can answer the question with any of the players names inserted as the "subject."

Below are some example question from the "pick a player" set of imaginiff cards:

• Imaginiff...we were camping. Which player would most crave the convience of home?
• Imaginiff... we were pieces of sporting equipment. Which player would be a bowling ball?
• Imaginiff... we were games. Which player would be Barrel of Monkeys?

Or

• Imaginiff... we were trying to give something up. Which player would successfully go cold turkey?
• Imaginiff... we were Hostess snack cakes. Which player would be a Twinkie?
• Imaginiff... we were mythical creatures. Which player would be Pegasus, the winged horse?

The Winner...

The winner is determined in two different ways depending on how the game has been chosen to be played. Which ever player reaches the center of the game board with their token first or by points. Points are awarded by answering the questions on the card. Points are awarded to each individual that has picked the most popular answer. For example if there are 8 players and 5 players picked the same person as the "subject" answer each of those five players get points. No points are awarded in a tie situation. For example if there are 8 players and 4 players have the same answer and the other 4 players have a different answer no points are awarded.
