About the game
Welcome to In or Out, the party game in which knowing what is not the answer is as important as knowing what is! Each of the 36 categories in the game consists of twelve cards that list names of people, places, or things that may — or may not — fit the category. To play the game, lays the cards for a category on the table visible to all players. In turn, each player selects one card from the cards displayed, states whether the choice is "in" or "out" of the category, then flips the card over to reveal the answer. If correct, you receive a green token; if not, a red token, which cancels out one green token in your possession. After all cards in a category have been resolved, whoever has the most green tokens (which might be more than one player) receives a gold token, and whoever first collects three gold tokens wins! As you finish the cards in a category, you slide the cards into the card shoe so that the cards will be reversed, after playing through the first 18 (blue) categories, you'll start drawing cards from the red categories.
