Product description
Black Stories: Epic Fails is a card game from the popular Black Stories series, published by bwb. It contains 50 cards, each featuring a short, mysterious scenario on the front centered around a spectacular failure, blunder, or unfortunate coincidence. The back of each card holds the full solution to the riddle.
The gameplay is simple: one player reads the puzzling situation from the front of a card aloud to the rest of the group. The other players then try to figure out exactly what happened and why the situation turned out so bizarre or absurd, by asking targeted yes/no questions. The reader knows the solution and can only answer "yes," "no," or "irrelevant," until the group has logically deduced the full story.
Epic Fails stands out within the Black Stories series due to its specific theme: everything revolves around things going hilariously wrong, from small mishaps to large-scale disasters. This gives the game a light, playful tone with surprising and often humorous resolutions.
Strengths of this game:
- Compact and easy to carry thanks to its convenient card format
- No board setup required: playable anytime, anywhere
- Encourages lateral thinking, deduction, and group cooperation
- Each card offers a new, self-contained riddle, perfect for playing individually or in succession
- Suitable for groups of varying sizes thanks to its question-and-answer format
Black Stories: Epic Fails is an excellent pick for fans of deduction games and brain teasers who enjoy a touch of dark humor and unexpected twists.
