I finally ripped open the cell...Coulda been worse. I finally ripped open the cellophane on my copy of Are You The Traitor? at a games night last night. I have no idea where I got it from or when, or from who (there wasn't even a price sticker on it) but imagine my surprise to realize that it was the *Chinese* version of the game. Talk about your WTF??? The rules were something photocopied and badly folded and stuck in the box and the cards were all in Chinese as well. Even the two people there who knew Chinese had trouble figuring it out. In the end, it just went back into the box. Definitely 0/2 for that one.Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-45093244353854250932011-09-29T09:46:40.870-07:002011-09-29T09:46:40.870-07:00Gosh, there is a great deal of effective info here...Gosh, there is a great deal of effective info here!отели в барселонеhttp://www.vbarcelone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-59240048768474996292009-11-19T08:03:25.651-08:002009-11-19T08:03:25.651-08:00Hi,

I had a similar experience when I played with some friends but the first group I played it with I misexplained the rules and accidentally exposed the traitor to the guards, spoiling the round. oops.<br /><br />The rules do give some tips for what the different roles can do to tip scales in their favor, which I think it is crucial for the players to understand to play a good game of Are you the Traitor. For instance, a guard can pretend to be the keyholder and voice conflictions about which wizard should get the key and so ferret out the Evil wizard, who will try to grab the key from the wrong person... and the Traitor, if he knows who has the key, doesn't have to sit idly by but can try to send clues to the Evil wizard to help get the key...<br /><br />Of course rounds can also go poorly with everyone saying "no I'm not the traitor" and eventually someone gets impatient and accuses someone randomly.<br /><br /><br />Also, I found this posting about the Shaquille O'Neal linked to via the post from said person: <a href="http://sesquipedalis.blogspot.com/2009/02/finally-use-for-twitter.html" rel="nofollow">Shaq twittering</a><br />Interesting, to say the least.Atreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170970054128290849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-46283393318355905382009-10-06T12:30:20.682-07:002009-10-06T12:30:20.682-07:00Matt, your review is poorly written, and your resp...Matt, your review is poorly written, and your response to Shaq embarrasses you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-66983239648039362082009-08-31T22:09:43.366-07:002009-08-31T22:09:43.366-07:00Shaq,
Thanks so much for stopping by! And here I ...Shaq,<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by! And here I thought you were a semi-literate jackass who bullies his way around a basketball court. Instead it turns out you know big words like 'miasma' and 'olfactory'. Who knew? Shaq's in Mensa!<br /><br />I'm so sorry you didn't like my review. No, wait, I'm not. Maybe you can find some boring, bland reviewer somewhere who uses the most inoffensive language possible, and goes into depth about every lame-ass rule, so that when you're done, you don't know if the game is fun - but at least you'll know how to play, should you be bored enough to learn the rules to a game you don't have.<br /><br />And this game does totally blow. If you think this is an excellent game, then it is no wonder you decided to take up basketball. You obviously didn't have a career in game design. But it worked out - you make more money than God, though you mostly just deserve a swift kick in the nuts for being a douche-nozzle ball-hog.<br /><br />One more note, Shaq - did you see up there at the top of the site, right under the logo? Where it says, 'crassly opinionated' and 'occasional bathroom humor'? Did you accidentally stumble here on your way to totallyboringreviews.com? When you see 'crass' and 'bathroom humor', were you expecting Shakespeare?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I wish you really were Shaq - how awesome would it be to tell people you read my site!Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-50984814089955285422009-07-20T13:20:59.539-07:002009-07-20T13:20:59.539-07:00What an atrocious review of an excellent game. Aft...What an atrocious review of an excellent game. After wading through your irrelevant nonsense, the reader finds no compelling argument whatsoever against the game, or evidence you even bothered to play it. <br /><br />There's no mention of the critical group size element in your review. You don't examine any specific problems with the game (and there are certainly a few that a real reviewer would have picked up on). <br /><br />Instead of any real insight or analysis, all you can offer the reader is juvenile imagery to assert the game is rotten(even resorting to the ultimate olfactory cliché). Alas, the truly putrid thing here here is your review, a lazy miasma of jumbled sentences that does nothing to mask the lingering stench of incompetence. <br /><br />Even if I were to extend the benefit of the doubt and suppose you had actually played this game, it wouldn't surprise me at all that you didn't like it. The enjoyment of the game is very much a function of the cleverness and charisma of the people playing it. <br /><br />Good day.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Shaquille O'NealShaquille O'Nealhttp://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-46700134159830110472009-07-20T11:56:24.931-07:002009-07-20T11:56:24.931-07:00Man, how did this sucker get to fly under my radar...Man, how did this sucker get to fly under my radar, considering I spend more than half my work day on BGG???
