Fluster

There are many ways to play FLUSTER, and many people just start picking up cards and asking questions without any rules at all! In this version, which we call FLUSTER Classic, the more revealing your answers are, the juicier the questions you get to ask, so don’t hold back on those succulent details!

1. Everyone picks up 5 question cards and a reaction card.

2. One person starts by asking someone else a question. Start with one that has a single !. (Pick up a new card after you ask a question, so you always have 5.)

3. That person gives their answer, and everyone else holds up a reaction card to signal how strongly the answer resonated with them (!, !!, or !!!), based on honesty, humour, vulnerability, or whatever is important to you.

4. The answerer then gets to ask someone a question with the same number of !’s (or fewer) as the average reaction they received.

5. That’s it! No score, no winners and losers. Play as long as you want!
