20-30 minutes
2-6
Everyone has a price. What’s yours?
How much money would it take to make your friends do some crazy stuff? One person is the Daredevil, who reads a stunt card out loud. Each card has a crazy, dirty, dangerous, or embarrassing stunt. They’ll write down how much money it would take to get them to do the stunt. Everyone else gets to ask the Daredevil yes or no questions, and writes down their guess at how much what the Daredevil wrote. Later, place bets on which answer you think is the closest without going over. Score some points, have a laugh, and repeat until someone has 21 points.
Full disclosure: this game was previously published in the USA in 2021. The rights were returned to me after the publisher’s license expired in March 2025.

Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. They know they must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or they will starve. At the same time, the gazelles wake up.
