Heather: THIS SPRING
SEMESTER FOR COLLEGE KIDS ISN'T
ENDING THE WAY ANYONE THOUGHT IT
WOULD.
THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING ONLINE
AWAY FROM THEIR FRIENDS.
AND YES, THEY MAY BE GETTING
BORED.
HERE TO SHARE FUN CARD GAMES FOR
YOUR COLLEGE KIDS IS MARY, THE
DIRECTOR OF MARKETING.
THANKS FOR JOINING US, MARY.
Guest: YOU BET.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
Heather: SO LOTS OF KIDS
HOME RIGHT NOW DOING THEIR
ONLINE STUDIES.
BUT MISSING THAT INTERACTION
WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND HAVING
FUN.
THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO CONNECT
WITH THEM VIRTUALLY AND HAVE FUN
AT THE SAME TIME.
YOU'VE GOT GREAT GAMES TO OFFER.
Guest: YES.
YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF THE WHOLE
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE IS THAT
SOCIAL INTERACTION.
WHEN SEMESTERS ARE CUT SHORT AND
YOU'RE BACK HOME WITH YOUR
PARENTS, YOU'RE DOING YOUR
SCHOOLWORK BUT YOU'RE MISSING
YOUR FRIENDS.
AND CONNECTING VIRTUALLY AND
PLAYING GAMES VIRTUALLY IS A
FANTASTIC WAY TO TRY TO
RECONNECT SOME OF WHAT YOU'RE
MISSING NOW.
Heather: I JUST SAW MY BOSS
HAVE A GAME NIGHT WITH FRIENDS
OF HIS.
THEY PLAYED TRIVIAL PURSUIT.
BUT THESE GAMES ARE MORE MODERN.
AND SEEM MORE FUN.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT FRIEND OR
FOE.
Guest: ALL RIGHT.
SO FRIEND OR FAUX, F-A-U-X, YOU
GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR
FRIENDS WITH SITUATIONS THAT
RANGE FROM MILD TO I CAN'T
BELIEVE I'M TELLING THIS STORY
ABOUT MY LIFE.
SO A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES WOULD BE
WHAT GIFT WOULD I LIKE ON A
FIRST DATE?
AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO IS
PLAYING HAS TO WRITE DOWN WHAT
THEY THINK YOU WOULD WANT ON
YOUR FIRST DATE.
AND POINTS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING
TO CORRECT ANSWERS.
OBVIOUSLY, AS THE QUESTIONS GO
ALONG AND WAY GET MORE INVASIVE,
IT DEFINITELY OPENS UP SOME
CONVERSATION.
YOU KNOW, ANOTHER ONE THAT IS
JUST KIND OF FUN TO ASK,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE KIND OF
DOING ALMOST LIKE AN ICE BREAKER
WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW VERY
WELL, SOMETHING LIKE IF I COULD
ONLY HAVE ONE FREE TREATMENT AT
A SPA, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Heather: INTERESTING.
I LOVE HOW THIS IS A GAME THAT
WOULD BE PERFECT FOR A COUPLE OR
A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.
Guest: EXACTLY.
YEAH.
WE'VE PLAYED IT WITH I THINK TEN
OR 12 PEOPLE BEFORE.
AND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
PLAYING VIA ZOOM OR SKYPE OR
SOMETHING AND THERE ARE A
MILLION CONVERSATIONS POPPING UP
AT ONCE, IT'S A TON OF FUN.
Heather: THAT'S THE FRIEND
OR FAUX CARD GAME.
NEXT, THE MISERY INDEX GAME.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
Guest: MISERY INDEX, SO
EVERYBODY HAS BEEN IN ROTTEN
SITUATIONS.
EVERYBODY CAN THINK OF A FEW
ROTTEN SITUATIONS RIGHT NOW.
BUT THE MISERY INDEX, YOU ARE
RANKING THESE MISERABLE
SITUATIONS FROM A SCORE OF 1 TO
10.
WE'VE GOT A FEW UP ON THE SCREEN
RIGHT NOW.
ONE THAT YOU CAN KIND OF THINK
ABOUT, HEATHER, IS LET'S SAY YOU
HAVE TERMITES.
AND TERMITES ARE NOT PLEASANT.
WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THEM IN OUR
HOUSE A FEW MONTHS AGO.
DIDN'T REALLY ENJOY IT.
BUT WOULD IT BE WORSE TO HAVE
TERMITES OR TO BE STUCK ON A
ROLLER COASTER, WHERE YOU'RE
DANGLING UPSIDEDOWN FOR TWO
HOURS.
Heather: YOU HAVE TO PICK
BETWEEN THOSE TWO SITUATIONS AND
RANK THEM?
Guest: RIGHT.
OUT OF THE CARD GAME YOU RANK
THEM.
THE FIRST PERSON TO GET TEN
CARDS WINS.
AND THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT
CONVERSATION-STARTER.
ONE OF THE CARDS, FOR EXAMPLE, I
WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH A GUY AT
A SHOW A FEW MONTHS AGO.
WE WERE PLAYING THE GAME.
THE CARD WAS A SQUIRREL GETS
INTO YOUR HOUSE AND LIVES THERE
FOR THREE MONTHS.
IT HAS A LOWER RANKING THAN WHAT
YOU MIGHT THINK.
AND HE GOT VERY UPSET BECAUSE HE
BELIEVES IT NEEDS TO BE MUCH
HIGHER BECAUSE SQUIRRELS HAVE
GOTTEN INTO HIS HOUSE AND CAUSED
$12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE.
Heather: OH, MY.
LOOK AT THE STORIES THAT COME
OUT OF THESE CARD GAMES.
SO FUN.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A TELEVISION
SHOW AS WELL?
Guest: IT IS.
IT IS.
IT'S OPTIONED INTO A T.V. SHOW.
FINISHED ITS FIRST SEASON END OF
2019 AND ALREADY BEEN RENEWED
FOR A SECOND SEASON.
Heather: WOW!
LOTS OF FUN OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE
STUCK AT HOME NEEDING FUN IN
THEIR LIVES.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FOR THEM TO
GO ABOUT CHECKING OUT THESE
GAMES AND MAYBE PURCHASING?
Guest: YOU CAN VISIT US AT
WWW.goliathgames.com.
THAT WILL DIRECT YOU TO OUR
RETAIL PARTNERS.
WE SELL IN ALL MAJOR RETAIL
OUTLETS.
Heather: MARY, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
FUN OPTIONS FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO
MAYBE WANT TO SPICE UP THEIR
GAME NIGHT, YES?
Guest: YES, ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
IT'S BEEN FUN.
Heather: YOU'RE WELCOME.
