About the Game

So...About My Shindig is a party game about, well, throwing parties! Each turn, one player will be the Shindig Thrower and the rest of the players will be the Party Planners.

The Shindig Thrower will randomly select an event (like a doggy wedding), the holiday the event will take place on (like talk like a pirate day), a location (like an abandoned theme park), and a special circumstance (like that their dog is a HUGE fan of Tuvan throat singing). After weaving together a wacky tale of WHY they want this particular soiree, each of the Party Planners gets one minute to pitch their party idea. The Shindig Thrower chooses their favorite, awarding them a point.

Whoever has the most points after each player has been the Shindig Thrower once (or twice) wins!

What will I need to play?

So...About My Shindig is just two pages (one page for rules, one for the random shindigs), with no cards! You'll need:

  1. One 20-sided die (or a random number generator website/app)
  2. Four tokens/markers of any sort (cubes, coins, whatever you've got lying around)
  3. A one-minute timer
  4. Something to write with & on, or a phone/computer/etc to track scores

Why are there two different files?

One of the files is free! It's still the full game, the only difference is that it only includes one prompt page. The other, full document currently includes two prompt pages, and we'll be updating it when we think of more things or want to make more (or if awesome people send in suggestions!). Will that be monthly? Once a year? Will we totally forget and never do it again? Who knows! While we genuinely do hope to add more of these in the future, please don't buy it assuming that there'll be 30 more in a week or two :D

So...About My Shindig is a game by both Beth Jackson and Angelique Drummond. Angelique came up with the idea and all but like literally one of the prompts while Beth did the layout and wrote out the rules :D And fiddled with lines in Canva forever to make them look right 🤣
