About the game

In It's Obvious, the host reveals one of the two hundred questions included in the box, then players secretly choose the "correct" side. Man fish or fish man? Cilantro is soapy or cilantro is delicious? Once all players have voted, their vote cards are shuffled, then flipped face up to reveal which answer received more votes. The side with the most cards is the obvious choice, while the other is the oblivious choice. Now players debate! If you're on the oblivious team, it's time to lie! If you're on the obvious team, it's time to find those oblivious players. Toss out outlandish accusations and engage in heated debate about the topic before eliminating a player. If the oblivious player(s) slide by without being caught, they win! If the obvious players can catch all of the oblivious players, then they win! Will you choose the obvious choice?
