Utter Nonsense!

Utter Nonsense! is a comical card game played by a judge and players.

History

The game was created by Tim Swindle and Dave Mazurek. When they were classmates in college, they would at times play with their folks a game of reciting sentences in a variety of accents. Later in 2014, after playing Cards Against Humanity, they decided to create their college past time into a real game. After several copies were retailed by a local game shop, their game was picked up by Target which further marketed it.[1]

Equipment

The game is played with 500 cards: 455 contain sentences, and 45 naming a particular accent.

Game play

The players select a judge based on whose breath is the most repulsive. Determining who has such a breath doesn't have to be factual but can involve absurd reasons.

At the start of each round, the judge deals seven sentence cards to the other players. The judge then takes an accent card from the top of its deck, and reveals it.

The player on the left side of the judge gets the first turn, then the one on the player's left side, and so on. Each player selects a sentence card from his/her hand, and recites it in the accent given.

After all the players have recited, the judge decides whose recitation he/she thinks is the most comical. The player whose recitation is chosen wins the round, keeps the round's accent card, and becomes the next judge. Play goes on until one player wins an assigned number of rounds (usually five).

gollark: Anyway, center-justify... centrism is about being precisely in the middle of the left and right options. I will imminently left-justify it, so centre-justification WILL follow.
gollark: Social hierarchies are literal hierarchies.
gollark: Hmm. Apparently,> Right-wing politics embraces the view that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, or tradition.[4]:693, 721[5][6][7][8][9] Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences[10][11] or competition in market economies.[12][13][14] The term right-wing can generally refer to "the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system".[15] Obviously, generics should exist in all programming languages ever, since they have existed for quite a while and been implemented rather frequently, and allow you to construct hierarchical data structures like trees which are able to contain any type.
gollark: Ah, I see. Please hold on while I work out how to connect those.
gollark: I refuse. I don't know exactly how it will look on your screen, and I can't write it with RTL characters due to Discorduous limitations and English.
