“You’ve Been Sentenced!” is the first game in history to turn the activity of sentence making into a very funny, playable, and challenging game.
Using a unique word deck of pentagon shaped cards containing conjugations of funny words, famous names from throughout history, familiar places, and wild cards, players have to make grammatically correct and justifiable sentences.
The real fun begins when players have to read their sentences out loud and explain what they mean to the rest of players. The players form the jury and vote thumbs up or down on whether the sentence and justification stand and the points are scored. The basic game features 540 cards with over 2,500words to insure billions of possible sentences.
In addition to the card game, the game creator McNeill Designs has developed an online version of “You’ve Been Sentenced”. The online version of the game will be featured this year at the Duel on the Delaware. Duel attendees will be able to play against each other online and in person. Prizes will be awarded. Also featured will be the new Robotics Add-On deck developed by team MOE 365. Some familiar FIRST terms are included in the robotics add-on deck.
Please plan to join us at the game table to check out the Robotics deck and test your grammarian skills!
