From Cryptozoic:
Cryptozoic Entertainment, the premier developer of original and licensed games including The Walking Dead Board Game and Hot Rod Creeps, is proud to partner with John Kovalic, one of the minds behind “Apples to Apples” and the pen behind the hilarious Munchkin illustrations, for ROFL! Wild and quick to play, ROFL! is a hilarious party game of mix-communications sure to delight gamers of all levels. Players battle it out, trying to condense well-known phrases, and have the Guesser decipher the message, as quickly as they can!
“Between texting and instant messaging, people are always condensing words and phrases,” said Scott Gaeta, chief operating officer for Cryptozoic. “ROFL! is perfect for today, because it takes what we already do and turns it into a hilarious and competitive game.”
To start a game of ROFL!, players see a phrase card, while the Guesser does not. Players compete with one another to accurately relay the secret message on the phrase card in as few characters as possible. Everybody gets to be a Guesser once per round. Whoever scores the most points at the end of three rounds wins!
“What I love about ROFL! is that even people who don’t text at all have a terrific time with it: it’s easy to play, with thousands of possibilities. Like all my favorite party games, the laughs and table-talk continue long after a round is played,” said John Kovalic, ROFL! game designer and illustrator. “I’m excited to be working with Cryptozoic on ROFL! as their commitment to quality is obvious in every release. I’m a huge fan of their family of games.”
ROFL! is a lively game of crazy phrases and wild guesses, perfect for three to seven players, ages 12 and up. It only takes a few minutes to learn, and plays in half an hour or less, making ROFL! perfect for parties and other social gatherings.
ROFL! comes complete with 170 phrase cards, a card holder, seven colored tokens, seven colored dry-erase boards, seven dry-erase markers, a game board, 56 scoring chips, a rules sheet and a timer. Plus, ROFL! includes 5 blank cards so players can add their own phrases to the game. Finally, the high quality, reusable components mean less pencil and paper waste than other games.
ROFL! will be available in hobby stores nationwide in spring 2013, at a suggested retail price of $35.00.
