Rules



1. Anyone may force the game into Silent Giggle Mode at any time. However, this means that that person has been Offended.

2. This is a card game about yelling funny things in response to movies and other shared public experiences and making people laugh.

3. Anyone who makes a rule that other people deem funny may claim Prefecture in House Fryffindor.

4. Anyone who makes a rule that other people deem clever may claim Prefecture in Slytherin.

5. Anyone who is Offended by any of the rules of this game is now Secretly "awarded" Prefecture in House Hufflepuff, the lame one. This will not be recorded, because while shaming people is funny, publicly shaming people can be permanently harmeful. And that's not Funny.

6. The game will be a competition to make funny movie references.

7. Players will decide which references they are going to try to catch before the movie starts. All players must agree to the rule. Agreement is signified by being willing to hold that card's printed rule during the movie.

8. Once the set of players has been decided, they will present their available rule decks. Any card can be a rule, and can be worth points. Players may create new cards, provided they are willing to always carry a bunch of copies of the new card around until the card becomes Official

9. Any card in the Official list must be contained within the Deck, which players should carry at least one of. In the event that there are fewer decks than teams that want to play, teams will choose cards one at a time in an alternating fashion.

10. Cards may be specific to one movie, or appear in most or all movies.

11. Cards may be specific to one House, or be permissible by all players. The purpose of this is to minimize the number of times more than one person is yelling a joke at one time. It also gives people a chance to decide which aspect of comedy is funniest to them: Cunning, Cleverness, Bravery, Helpfulness, and whatever that other one was.

12. Each player will be limited to referencing the items in their hand. Other jokes are not permitted.

13. Pissing someone off, whether they are a player in the game or not, forces Silent Giggle mode. Every player is required to stay quiet for the rest of the scene and play nonverbally. Every House loses 50 points. The pissed-off person is noted and is the new Head Prefect of House Hufflepuff.
