Uh-Oh is a game by Phil Vizcarro,
for 3 to an unlimited number of players,
which can be played at any age after 6, for games around 5 minutes of playtime.

Play it anytime, anywhere!

How to play ?

1. Freely define the first player, who places the card on its Yay! side in front him.
In our example, Skeletor will play first.

2. Each player makes a secret bet under the table (or behind his back) with the fingers of his hand, from 0 (closed fist) to 5.

3. Everyone reveals their hand at the same time.

4. The first player moves the card in a clockwise direction, a number of spots (players) relative to his bet.
In our example, Skeletor moves the card 1 spot towards Phil.

5. The player seated to his left then moves the card by the number of players relative to his bet, even if the card is not in front of him, and so on, until all bets have been played, or two Zeros have been played.
In our example, Phil doesn't move the card, as he played a Zero, but activates it. He flips the card to its Uh-Oh side. Then Nerdzilla moves it 4 spots from Phil (onto Mister T), Then Rex moves it 3 spots (onto Nerdzilla), then Mikey moves it 3 spots, back in front of Mister T, which detonates the bomb, as he played a Zero.

Then the card is placed on the player on the left of the eliminated player, back on its Yay! side, and another turn begins.
In our example, it gets back to Skeletor... Well, what are the odds.

In our example, Skeletor moves the card 5 spots, which brings it back to him. Then Phil activates it, Nerdzilla moves it 4 spots, Rex 3 spots, then Mikey 3 also, which brings the card again back to Skeletor. Only this time, as it is activated and everyone has played, it blows in Skeletor's face!

Don't be like Skeletor. Don't be a sore loser.

The first Zero activates the Bomb without moving it.
(turn the card over on the opposite side).
The second Zero blows it up!
(the player in front of whom the bomb is gets eliminated).

If the card has been moved by the total number bet by all players without exploding, 2 things can happen:

It's showing its Yay side!: Nothing happens. Start a new round.
It's showing its Uh-Oh side: The bomb explodes and eliminates the player in front of whom it is. Place it on its Yay! side and start a new round.

If three rounds end without a single explosion, then the bomb becomes a Supernova and erases the planet. Everyone loses. Maybe next time you won't play as safely.

The winner is the last to survive.
Did you guess that?
Congratulations, you are awesome.

There you go, it's as simple as that, and it promises sessions where you'll wreck your brain to try to read the way other people play.
Are you going to activate the bomb as soon as possible, or try to get it away from you? Are you going to manipulate other players by announcing your intentions or bluff all the way?

So many strategies, so many possibilities ... and chances that it will go horribly wrong :D

PHIL VIZCARRO - Uh-Oh's game designer/illustrator

Phil Vizcarro is an author, translator and board game designer. Born in 1978 in Paris, France, he spent most of his childhood in front of the TV, and fell in love with popculture, comics and a whole bunch of stuff that others found nerdy or uninteresting.
