YIAY: The Board Game

YIAY: The Board Game is the perfect way to find out who really is the funniest among your friends! With a group of 3 to 8 players, you'll laugh and have fun as you compete to see who can come up with the most hilarious answers. The game has 400 cards organized into 8 different categories, each with a unique challenge. Get ready to draw, solve riddles, rhyme or even create funny slogans! There's never a dull moment, as the combinations of answers are always unpredictable. There are two ways to play. In one, the player designated as the Host rolls a dice and chooses a card. All the participants have 60 seconds to write or draw their answers, while the Host has to guess which one he thinks is the funniest. In the other option, everyone, including the Host, sends in their answers, and the group votes on the best one, using voting cards. Whoever comes up with the most creative answer keeps the warning card. In the end, the player with the most cards is the big winner! YIAY: The Board Game isn't just a game; it's a real celebration of laughter and creativity among friends!

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

YIAY: The Board Game is inspired by Jack Douglass' popular show "Yesterday I Asked You (YIAY)", where the main objective is to come up with the funniest and most creative answers to the questions posed, imitating the chaotic and humorous format of the YouTube show. During a game, the players read the questions aloud, write down their answers, and the judge of the round chooses the funniest or most inventive answer, providing lots of laughs and memorable moments between friends. This interactive dynamic evokes memories of evenings playing cards against humanity or when you personalize memes with your best mates, strengthening bonds and showing who really has the most creative mind in the bunch.

GAME mechanics

  • Real Time - In YIAY: The Board Game, the Real Time mechanic imposes a timed limit for players to complete their tasks. This temporary pressure creates tension and demands quick responses, inspiring games of improvisation and creativity. In personal experiences during the game, I felt the adrenaline rush as I raced against the clock to come up with the funniest answer. This limitation forces participants to rely on their instincts and skills in quick searches for humor, making each round unpredictable and fun.
