Attribute
Product Description
People who like Apples to Apples will probably enjoy Attribute, designed by Lookout Games and published by Z-Man Games! Attribute is a party game that includes words, sheep, and slapping (cards of course), what more could you ask for?
Overview of the game:
In Attribute each player chooses a Sheep card, either red or green. They are then dealt a set of Attribute cards which are printed with descriptive words (hairy, delectable, etc.) One player then thinks of a topic (polar bears, bridges, Manhattan, anything!) and says it out loud. Players who have a green sheep try to choose an attribute that matches the topic, and players with red sheep try to choose an attribute opposite of the topic. All the players lay their choices on the table at the same time, quickly scan what everyone put down, and slap a card that they think was laid down by a player with a green sheep, which then cannot be slapped by anyone else. Once the screaming and slapping stops all the players reveal their sheep cards.
Players who chose correctly keep the card and get one point, those who chose incorrectly lose one point. If a green sheep card is chosen the person who played it gets a point, if their card did not get chosen they lose a point. If the red sheep cards are not chosen those players take their cards back and get a point. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Box includes: 164 Attribute cards. 60 sheep cards. Rules.
Suitable for ages 8+ and 3-8 players.
Playing time: 30 mins.
