Bad Decisions introduces a new line of party card games from Diamond Dust Dreams Inc., the creators of Kitsune: of Foxes and Fools. Because of the MadLibs-inspired storytelling twist to this game, each prompt (Story) card can set up literally hundreds of different situations. The judge (called the Bard, in keeping with the storytelling theme) plays cards for whichever of the categories (Fool, Crisis or Bad Decision) come up in the first two blanks on that Story card; the other Players complete the story by anonymously playing a card from their hands to fill the final blank. The Bard chooses the winning Story ending, and passes the role of Bard on to the next Player to the left.Because you can't make the dumbest stories up, the cards we've developed so far for the core set have a theme of headline news. We're not just printing those cards, though, we're doubling the size of the core set - and we're taking votes from our kickstarter backers on what the theme of that core set should be. We're going to do that by letting everybody who gets to vote nominate a theme - then when all the nominations are in, we'll have the backers rank their favorites among those nominations, and decide the winner according to a transferable vote system. This means the theme for the remaining half of the core set will be entirely decided by the backers!
