How Dare You? Review
25.01.2024 - 16:03 / boardgamequest.com
We review How Dare You?, a party game published by Alion Games. In How Dare You?, players are trying to guess the answer to trivia quesitons without going over.
While I tend to retain a lot of random bits of knowledge, I rarely play trivia games. And when I do, I’m probably going to reach for something like Wits and Wagers. It’s a game where everyone can participate because you don’t have to actually know any answers and can always make guesses.
How Dare You? (from here on shown without the ? at the end for the sake of my spell checker) is a newcomer to this genre. This small box game will have you and your fellow players one-upping each other to see who can find the closest correct answer.
While the rulebook has a few small variants included, the main way to play How Dare You is really simple. On a player’s turn, they read a question from a card and must try to guess the answer. Every question has a numerical answer, so even if the player doesn’t know the exact answer (which is likely), they can still make an educated guess (or take a blind stab in the dark).
For example, a question might be “The maximum speed of a poodle” or “The percentage of Earth covered by water.” Then, the next player clockwise can make their own guess (which must be a higher number), followed by the next player, and so on. However, instead of making a guess, a player can Dare the previous player if they think they’ve already guessed too high. In that situation, whoever was incorrect (the guesser or darer) claims the card. Then the next player takes their turn.
The game ends after a player has collected a number of cards based on the player count. Players will then count the ducks on their cards and whoever has the most is the loser. Spoiler alert: you don’t want to be the loser.
How Dare You is a party game through and through. The rules take just a minute or two to explain and it can be played just about anywhere. I brought a copy to my in-laws house for Thanksgiving to try out with some non-gamer family members, figuring that would be a good test. We were able to sit on the couch while enjoying a cocktail and play the game. It was super casual, but everyone had a ton of fun.
Chances are you are not going to know almost all the answers. I’m sure there will be a few question here and there where someone just happens to be an expert on the subject, but for the most part, it will be a lot of random guesses. But that’s also where we had the most fun. Sometimes a player would make a guess, and then we’d all mock them for being way off (and half the time they were actually closest). But even the questions had a great range and some were really entertaining. “How many women did Joey sleep with on Friends” or “The Number of Coins

Microsoft's Recent Layoffs Contradict Activision Blizzard Buyout Pledges, Says FTC | Push Square
In case you missed it, Microsoft made an industry-shaking acquisition at the tail end of last year, buying up Activision Blizzard King for an eye-watering $69 billion. It took a long time to close, though, because of intense scrutiny from a handful of different sources — one of those being the USA's Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Now, in the wake of Microsoft cutting thousands of jobs, the FTC is back on the company's case, accusing it of contradicting statements made in court about how the business would operate post-acquisition.
