Read the video transcript
Five players draw “Someone ate your leftovers.” Mom and Alex write. The other three judge.
Mom writes Teen Speak; Alex writes Boomer Speak. They keep their lines secret, then swap.
Alex, reading Mom’s line: “Bro, those were my emotional support leftovers. That’s actually criminal.”
Mom, reading Alex’s line: “I suppose my name on the container was just a decoration.”
Two judges choose Teen Speak; one chooses Boomer Speak. Teen Speak wins, two votes to one. Mom earns one point because she wrote the winning line. New writers, new round!
BIG PERSONALITY. SIMPLE PIECES.
MEET THE GAME.
From the first card to the final vote,
everything gets the table talking.

BEFORE THE FRIENDLY ARGUMENT STARTS
A FEW
GROUND RULES.
Do parents actually have to be boomers?+
No. Teen Speak and Boomer Speak are the two voices in the game. Parents take the Boomer role, whatever their actual age.
Who votes—and who gets the point?+
Everyone except the two writers votes once for the better impression. The writer of the line with more votes earns one point. If the votes tie, each writer earns one point. With three players, the single judge decides.
What if I don’t know the slang?+
That’s part of the fun. Familiar phrases, habits, and attitude count too. There’s no official translation to memorize. Keep the roast affectionate.
How do you win?+
Rotate teen-parent pairings. Play at least two writing turns each, then finish the rotation so everyone on the same side has had equal writing turns. The highest-scoring teen and highest-scoring parent win. Tied scores share the crown.
Where can I get the game?+
The online version is available now: play solo or invite friends ↗. The physical board game is still in development, and the box and components shown here are design concepts. You can also download the rules and try a round with paper and pens.
GIVE THEM
A SCRIPT.
One situation. Two generations.
A whole table of “I would never say that.”
