How to Play Venns with Benefits
Any Questions?
Is the game appropriate for everyone?
Venns with Benefits is rated 15+. A good chunk of the purple cards will have categories that have sexual or drug references (ie "Bras," "Cocaine," "My Dad's Weiner," to name a few), but if you want to make the game appropriate for all, just give this deck a quick sort and remove any cards you don't want to play with! Then, the game appropriateness is entirely dependent on what the players write — it can be clean or dirty depending on your group!
What is a venn diagram?
- According to Wikipedia, a Venn diagram is a widely used diagram style that shows the logical relation between sets, popularized by John Venn in the 1880s.
- For the rest of us: it's the one with two colored circles that overlap and make a connection between two ideas.
How many players?
The game is designed for 3-6 players, but you can easily team up and play "Party Mode" with 7+ players.
How do the cards work?
The Response Cards have a dry-erase coating on them which allows players to write directly on them, and erase their creations at the end of each round. The cards are durable and ready to stand up to hundreds of hours of your wildest connections.
How many different ways can you connect two ideas?
- A whole lot, it turns out. The Response Cards help by prompting you with different ideas as starting points, but it's really left up to the imagination of the players.
- One person might connect "My Boss" and "Socks" by thinking about how they're old and crusty, while someone else thinks about how they're always sticking a foot in their mouth, and another person might say they're a little *too* white.
