Positivity? Well, this game has none of those things. But it is hilarious. From the wildly popular Instagram account, \u003ci\u003eDisappointing Affirmations: The Disappointing Game\u003c\/i\u003e will test the convictions of even your most optimistic friends. Forget gratitude, mindfulness, wellness, and all that other relentless toxic positivity you've been sold. This party game turns your disillusionment into dark humor, your feelings into fun, and your pessimism into points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn each round, one player reads out a positive prompt, and everyone else uses their realistic responses to twist it into a Disappointing Affirmation. If yours is judged to be the most amusingly critical, anti-empathetic, dismissive, or makes people laugh because the only other option is to cry, then congrats, you win! As if it even matters. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade for friends who are actually willing to accept that \"It's okay to not be okay,\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to Play: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's very simple: create the funniest or most ironically disappointing combinations to win! Each player draws seven Response cards-a.k.a. doses of realism-and keeps them hidden. The Judge for each round draws a positive Prompt card, reads it aloud, and then watches and waits while their friends figure out just how much of their darkness they want to reveal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere's nowhere to hide as the Judge shuffles, reads all the responses, and then chooses their favorite. Maybe they're looking for the funniest, most disturbing, or most disappointing (although that'd be basic). Whatever their criteria, once they've picked their winner, the person who played that card wins the round and the Prompt card. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt's up to you how long you play, but we suggest everyone takes at least two turns as the Judge. When you're done, the player with the most Prompt cards wins the game and is no longer a disappointment to anyone! Except maybe themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor ages 18+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3-6 players\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 minutes to play-althrough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e160 Response cards, 40 double-sided Prompt cards, instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RIDLEY'S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51074403827748,"sku":"60471","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2968\/5114\/files\/60471.jpg?v=1784236164","url":"https:\/\/midoco.ca\/products\/rid-game-card-word-game-60471","provider":"Midoco Art \u0026 Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
