About the game
This mini-expansion provides a change of pace if you’ve played a lot of Dinner Party and want to shake things up. It includes 35 Topic cards, which have Abilities that players can use when trying to invite a Guest, plus one rule card. The base game is required to play. Talk about the Weather (no matter with whom, that topic always goes), discuss War Anecdotes with Winston Churchill or Science Trivia with Marie Curie, tell Brazen Lies, share your opinions on Poetry, Etiquette, and Crime, and practice Active Listening and Name Dropping. Every Topic throws the game for another loop. 3 of the Topics can only be used with the Hot & Steamy expansion (using Coffee), and 3 can only be used with the Time To Get Served expansion (using Point Tokens). The other 29 Topic cards can be used without any expansions. —description from the designer
