Description

How often do you get your family and friends confused with "Famous" or "Infamous" people? Well, when you have an Identity Crisis it happens all the time. It's a creative new game that's never the same, no-matter how many times you play. Prepare yourself for an evening of laughter, as you and your friends enjoy the company of some very unexpected guests. You'll quickly discover that the strategy is endless and the clues are non-stop. Challenging, fun, and easy to play, Identity Crisis is a game for the whole family. —description from the back of the box The winner is the first person to obtain (5) "Score Cards" spelling the name "Id-en-ti-ty Crisis". It is to each person's advantage to roll "Pick a Letter" as often as possible. By doing this you are attempting to write the letters in your Identity's "abbreviated name" before another player figures out who you are. "Score Cards" are won after "Revealing" your opponent's Identity, and/or, after you "Pick" all the letters in your own Identity. Once you complete the spelling of your Identity's name - announce you have done so - replace your "Identity card" with a new one, and select one of the (5) "Score Cards". If you "Reveal" another player's Identity, you may take one of that person's "Score Cards" or one from the "Main Card Holder". If you guess wrong, your opponent may take one of your "Cards" or, one from the "Main Card Holder". Any time there is an incorrect response, the player being challenged benefits. —description from the rulebook
