Diamond Dust Dreams invites everyone to make Bad Decisions with them

Everyone makes bad decisions from time to time, but Diamond Dust Dreams has made 480,000,000 of them. That’s the number of possible card play combinations in Bad Decisions, a party card game for 3-12 players released in November 2015. John Kovalic (creator of party-game giant Apples to Apples) described Bad Decisions as “very clever” when he acquired his copy at GameHoleCon 2016.

Now, Bad Decisions is poised to get even more replay value, because on January 6, 2017, the Diamond Dust Dreams team will Kickstart the release of several 33 card mini-expansion sets themed around bad decisions in genres such as politics, the bedroom, and fan conventions. Any one mini-expansion set expands the Bad Decisions universe of combinations by more than 100 million. Get all 5 new sets and you will have more than a billion questionable (and hysterical) play options.

Check out the Trailer:

“Bad Decisions introduces a new line of party card games from Diamond Dust Dreams Inc., the creators of Kitsune: of Foxes and Fools. Because of the MadLibs-inspired storytelling twist to this game, each prompt (Story) card can set up literally hundreds of different situations. The judge (called the Bard, in keeping with the storytelling theme) plays cards for whichever of the categories (Fool, Crisis or Bad Decision) come up in the first two blanks on that Story card; the other Players complete the story by anonymously playing a card from their hands to fill the final blank. The Bard chooses the winning Story ending, and passes the role of Bard on to the next Player to the left.

Because you can’t make the dumbest stories up, the cards in the core set have themes of bad decisions in headline news and technology, the latter being decided on by a vote of the kickstarter backers. Both themes are populated by hilariously wrong cards drawn from news stories and anecdotes researched from various online and print sources, or sometimes personally related to the creators of the game.”
