About the game

In this party game each player gets their own set of cards with quotes on them. They each draw six cards for their hand. One player is designated the dealer which rotates each hand. The dealer then takes a real quote from the quote box and reads who the quote is from. Each player will then pass a quote secretly from his hand to the dealer who then reads them along with the real quote randomly. You get 3 points for guessing the real quote and 1 point for each player who incorrectly picks your quote as the legitimate quote. First to 25 points wins.
