Eyes on the Prize

Eyes on the Prize is a court intrigue game for 2 or 4 players (1 or 2 pairs) in which you dream up a fake-married couple, then attempt to wield their fraudulent union to achieve their shared goals. Perform badly, and nobody will buy it, tripping up your attempts to advance your plots; perform too well, and you might start fooling even yourselves.

You can play it funny, you can play it sexy, you can play it fast, you can take your time -- the only real expectations are mischief and self-indulgence.

To play, you'll need:

1. An eight-sided die for each player
2. A deck of standard playing cards
3. Many small tokens (coins, buttons, tiny seashells)
4. A stopwatch/timer
5. Paper and something to write with
6. 1-3 hours of time
