Were You Paying Attention?!

• 2+ players
• 2 pages (or one front-and-back page)
• 2 six-sided dice (or a number generator) 
• 1-minute timer (phone timers work perfectly!)

Were You Paying Attention?! is a game about, well, paying attention! It's a reminder that paying attention has a literal cost —focus— and that it's important not to overtax listeners with too much information.

How do you learn that, you ask? By overwhelming your opponents with information, of course! This is a competitive world, and the only way to win is for everyone else to lose, obviously.

Players will take turns receiving a single piece of information they'll need to tell the other players. Easy, right? WRONG! Because you'll have a full minute to spew as much information at your opponents as you can, burying that single piece of important information in the process. If they can recall that single piece of info, good for them...and you, so long as at least one player gets it wrong. But be careful: each other player will get to ask YOU about something else you said, and they'll be rewarded if you can't remember!

Note: "Full-color game" has LOTS of color, so I also created a black-and-white version. The black-and-white version also has the solid-color border removed so less ink is required :D
