Scruples

The reason that I am reviewing this great board game is that myself and a few of my good friends visited another one of our friends this Saturday night. We do this only occasionally but the evening always follows the same pattern, firstly we all consume quite a large amount of alcohol which inevitably leads us to start playing 'Scruples'. Now for those of you that have never played this game I shall explain it briefly. 'Scruples' is a game of moral dilemmas, moreover a game of guessing what your friends moral standards will be using different dilemma's, hence the name of the game, 'Scruples'. Now I do not own this board ...  Read the complete review

This is not a game for those who have difficulty being open and honest about their feelings, morals and principles. I think it can be a dangerous game if the wrong mix of people play it and I would strongly suggest that the first time you play you choose people of the same sex and those who are non-judgemental to play with!! The game consists of cards which ask you a question and give a range of responses for you to choose from. The question usually revolves around a dilemma of some sort or other requiring you to make a decision based on your fundamental beliefs and values. The other players have to decide how they think you have answered the question ...  Read the complete review

This game was purchased by my brother entertain our family one Christmas as an alternative to the inevitable Trivial Pursuit. It sounded fun - a game of moral dilemma. Basically, you get asked a question about what you would do in a certain morally loaded situation - would you ever read someone elses diary, would you park in a disabled spact in a car park, would you tell you best friend if her partner was unfaithful - that sort of thing. Before you give your answer, everyone else has to predict what you would do and there are points for correct answers. The real problem element of this game is that there is potential for people to challenge you if they don't think ...  Read the complete review

Well thats my mates when I played this very mediocre game recently. I have had this game for about 15 years and have played it a total of 2 times, that is how boring it is. It is supposed to be an adult "after dinner" game. One that brings out the truth about people and how decietful people are that you once trusted. The game asks you some severely difficult questions about a ituation and what you would do in that situation. Other players have to guess your answer. Its a bit pointless because if you know someone really well, you can normally predict their answer really well. Then again, you can see a completely different side to someone ...  Read the complete review

Scruples is a game in which each player picks up 5 red cards, each of which has a different moral dilemma on it. The first play then picks up one of the blue cards which will either say 'Yes', 'No' or 'Depends' on it. The player then has to match this answer to one of their moral dilemmas and pick another player who will give that answer to the dilemma you ask them. Ok, that's probably just confused you more, I'll give an example. Say I've picked up a red card which reads 'Your young child has scribbled on the walls of your friend's newly decorated house. They also have young children. Do you tell your friend that your child was the culprit?' and a blue card saying 'No'. ...  Read the complete review
