High School Drama! (2006)

About this game

Play as a student in a high school drama. Hook up with other students, spread vicious lies and rumors about your rivals and pretend to bond with your fake friends. Earn yearbook signatures by going to special events like homecoming and sci-fi movie openings or by earning student standouts like cutest couple and most artistic. Each player controls one main student but quickly forms a growing clique by hooking up with other students and organizations. Everyone starts as freshmen, but only the player who has the most yearbook signatures at the end of graduation wins! Nominated as an ORIGINS AWARDS finalist for Best Non-Collectible Card Game of 2006.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
