Do you need to blow off some steam with
your BFFs? Is your significant other
driving you crazy? Are you ready for a night of cocktails and catty fun? Then you’ll love the Snarky Ladies Party
Game.
Behind the perfectly styled hair,
flawless makeup, arched backs and bras that look like they could shoot bullets
(think of Austin Power’s Fembots), is a snarky lady who knows just what to say.
The theme for this project is inspired
by vintage product advertisements which are truly cringeworthy, particularly
the ones directed at women. Many can be
boiled down to; if you don’t buy our product whether it be appliances, food,
clothing, makeup or feminine products your life will not be worth living, no
man will want you, if you have a man, you won’t be able to keep him. For this project I've created a new "Intimates" collage sheet of vintage women from ridiculous bra advertisements.
Another influencing factor was the
Alpha Stamps Dapper Gents Kit with its collage sheets of dapper men and retro
decorative paper.
I started by working on some ATC snarky
lady cards and wasn’t satisfied, thinking there must be something more I could
do with the cards and the theme. After
discussing it with my husband, he suggested making it into a game and “The
Snarky Ladies Party Game” was born.
THE
GAME
The object of the game is to have fun
finding out how in tune each of the players is with the rest of the group.
There two decks of cards (Men & Ladies). The men cards have two cringeworthy comments and the Ladies cards have a snarky response. All but one of the players votes on which of the cringeworthy comments best fits the snarky comment.
There two decks of cards (Men & Ladies). The men cards have two cringeworthy comments and the Ladies cards have a snarky response. All but one of the players votes on which of the cringeworthy comments best fits the snarky comment.
The remaining player must guess which of the men comments was chosen by the majority of the players.
Failure to make a correct choice means a spin of the wheel and answering a question or fulfilling a task.
For example:
* Your significant other comes home unexpectedly, where do you hide the pool boy?
* What’s the
worst pickup line you’ve heard?
* Down a
beverage of the groups choice
Play continues until all of the cards
and players are exhausted. At the bottom of the post you'll find the game instructions that you can print and use for your game.
In
addition to the Alpha Stamps supplies I’ve used for this project, I’ve also
created free images and collage sheets that you’ll find at the bottom of this
post. Feel free to download and use them
in your projects. They include:- · Mens & ladies comments for the cards
- · Card Labels
- · Large “The Snarky Ladies Party Game” labels
- · The wheel I used plus a blank wheel that can be tailored to your needs
- · Game rules
PUTTING THE GAME TOGETHER
I used a cigar box to store the game and attached the
large “Snarky Ladies Party Game” label to the front.On the inside lid I attached the game rules.
In the box is the game wheel, two decks of cards (Men
& Ladies) and a box with a drawer which contains slips of paper for voting,
pencils and a pair of dice. The box is made from an ATC sized Hidden Drawer Book Box chipboard kit.
TIP: When adding a
spinner to the wheel, use something like a rondelle in between the wheel and
the spinner so that the spinner floats above the wheel. This will make it easier to spin. Attach the spinner &
rondelle combination to the wheel with a brad.
When opening the brad to secure it in place, make sure it is loose or you won’t be able to spin
the spinner.
When making the game cards for stiffness I used chipboard ATCs in between the decorative paper.
IDEA –
this game could be tailored to any situation where there are two opposing sides. For example:
· Annoying women and snarky men
· Catty women and gossiping men
