Zobmondo Lite: The Prequel

Zobmondo Lite is a board game, but its real purpose is to stimulate conversation and laughter. Question cards (a.k.a. "cards of unenjoyment") come in categories such as pain/fear/discomfort and appearance/embarrassment. A typical one reads, "Would you rather swim 5 laps in a pool of 40 degree water, or swim 1 lap in a pool of warm water in which many people have peed?" Your job is to predict how other players will answer. Guess correctly (or bluff them out) and advance toward the center. Winning the game really isn't the point--the point is laughing your way through a discussion about whether you would rather have a black eye or very bloodshot eyes for a week. This game is billed as the kinder, gentler, version of the original. --Richard Farr
