BRO, you've got only TWO weeks 'til the comp! Time to get serious about getting RIPPED. You gotta dig DEEP and max out those SICK GAINS if you wanna be the most YOKED bro on stage. But whatever you do, bro, DON'T skip leg day. A JACKED upper body wows the judges, but NOBODY likes chicken legs, bro. Don't Skip Leg Day is a competitive game for 3-6 players, although you can add sets to increase the player count. The game is played over two rounds (weeks) consisting of seven turns (days). Each turn, all players select one card from their hand to keep, then pass the rest of their hand to another player. Players repeat this action (keeping a card and passing the ones they don't want) until all players have chosen seven cards. Some of the cards you choose to keep will be made public to all players, but many will remain a secret until the end of the game. After two rounds, everyone's full collection of cards is revealed and scored based on a variety of scoring methods. The player with the fewest "Leg Day" exercises is eliminated from the competition. After that, the player with the most points wins! —description from the publisher
