How to Play Beerdledash

It's suspiciously like Balderdash for beer descriptions.

Setup

Players bring a different beer to share. Each player joins the game via their phone. We'll play one round per beer, with the players who brought the beer acting as hosts.

Each Round

Everyone tastes the hosts' beer. The hosts secretly look up the real beer description from the brewer. Everyone else secretly writes a fake beer description on their phone, trying to trick others into thinking their fake description is the real one. I'll shuffle all the descriptions and the hosts will read them aloud. Everyone but the hosts votes on their phone for the description they think was real to score points.

Scoring

• 1 point per vote to the writer of each fake description for tricking those voters
• 2 points to each voter of the real description for being clever
• 3 points to each host if nobody votes for the real description for being lucky
• 0 points to yourself if you vote for your own fake description for being forgetful

Scores are tallied up at the end of all the rounds and the winner has the most points.

Jumbotron

You can optionally set up a public screen as a Jumbotron where everyone can follow game progress communally, if you are playing in the same physical space. A player can't join the game via the Jumbotron; they need their own phone.
