Evil Genie Party Game for 2–8 Players 🎲
Description:
This party card game turns wish-making into a mischievous bluffing challenge where players pair helpful cards with naughty ones to create a single messed up wish, then bet on whether the wish will be granted to score points. Designed for quick rounds and social play, this Moose title fits groups and family game nights with 2 to 8 players and a recommended age of 8 and up.
Key Points
The game mixes creativity and prediction as each round one player acts as the "Genie" combining two cards to form a wish. Other players play voting tokens to guess if the Genie will carry out that twisted wish according to the group rules and the card combinations. Rounds are fast, which keeps the tempo lively and helps new players join without a long learning curve. Note that the instruction sheet may not be available in Spanish according to the original contents list.

How to Play
Gameplay alternates the Genie role so everyone gets a turn to craft quirky wishes and try to outwit the group. Creativity matters because the more plausible or outrageous the wish, the harder it is for others to predict the outcome. Scoring relies on correct guesses about whether the Genie will take the wish, which encourages reading other players and gauging risk. The dynamic keeps conversation natural and allows for spontaneous humor.
Usage Recommendations
Good for mixed-age groups and casual gatherings where social interaction is the main goal. It works well between other heavier board games or as a warm-up at larger parties. Consider playing a few practice rounds to get players comfortable with the bluffing mechanic. Keep in mind that players with very literal or rule-focused play styles may alter the tone; according to the contents list, language of the instructions might vary which could affect setup for non-English speakers.
