Brother, Why?

Brother, Why?

2023

2 - 8 players
10 - 90 min

From BoardGameGeek

Use your quick wit and silver tongue to talk, argue, coerce and bluff your way out of a medieval telling-off! Throw your fellow monks under the cart and ensure that they, not you, take the fall for all these very silly margin doodles! Each player is dealt a Very Silly Guy card featuring a baffling marginalia illustration, and a Very Serious Quote card featuring a genuine bible quote: your silly drawing and the serious quote you drew it next to. Thus begins a round-table, free-for-all debate as each player desperately tries to justify their pairing of outlandish illustration and serious quote! Once this debate reaches a natural conclusion, the least justified pairing is chosen by majority vote. Sent off to the Abbot to take the fall for all this rampant doodle, this loser receives a Chastisement (point) and the round begins anew - least points at the end of the game wins!
