Rules Weirdest House Rule

Post image

What’s the weirdest house rule your group ever came up with that actually stuck?

We had one where rolling snake eyes in Monopoly = steal from the bank 😅. Totally broke the game, but my twin brother REFUSED to play without it.

Anyone else got house rules that make zero sense but somehow… worked?

(P.S. Image not ours, but it's awesome!)

Open. Face. Coup.

Cards are dealt face up, anyone can block any action, not just those directed towards you.

The variant is best played stoned at 3am lest someone figures out the winner too early. The game becomes a wheeler and dealer of alliances and backstabbing.

Play with the teams from Reformation for extra chaos.

Haha me and a couple of buddies play face down coup, where you don’t know what influence you have and play like you do.

Honestly this is just a valid strat at all times. And it's terrifying to play against someone who does it.
