Repeat Pete! is a board game released in 2008 for 3–8 players. It was designed by James Nigl and its main mechanics are Real-Time and Acting.
The player who performed the last action is always Pete, and the next player must repeat what Pete did plus add a new action. The more players who succeed means other players have even more to remember and repeat. In this game, you’ll see people doing things they wouldn’t normally do. Imagine a player performing the following sequence before it’s your turn: Act and sound like a gorilla. Say “Gimme a Kiss.” Dance like a ballerina. Make a “thbbpthbpt” raspberry sound. Bark like a dog. Swing an imaginary baseball bat. Can you do what Pete does without missing a beat? If so, you’re on your way to victory. But if you mess up the sequence or forget one of the actions, you’ll end the round and roll the penalty die. The players score for the number of cards they have and the first player to the finish space wins the game. Contents include 267 action cards, 21 special cards, game board, 1 die, 8 pawns, rules
