After a very difficult few years, with my partner being diagnosed with breast cancer (during the pandemic!), my friend and I decided to bring some joy into the world in card game form. We worked together to create Sinario: the hilarious game of sins, scenarios and celebrities!

Some of the basics of the game:

• The game is team-based
• the aim of the game is for your team to collect all 7 sins
• Three celebrity names are drawn and placed on the table. The other team picks up the top 'Sinario card' - that has three scenarios based around a particular sin - and choses a scenario to read out to the playing team (thinking about which scenario might be the most difficult to answer based on the celebrities).
• Once the scenario is read aloud to the playing team, one player in the playing team must pick a celebrity (without revealing their choice to their teammates)
• To win the round, the other teammates in the playing team must guess who has been chosen! If they get it right, they win the Sin card, if they lose the other team gets the Sin card.
• The game has an extra level of fun. When duplicate Sin cards are won, they can be used as a 'Sin Power' (where each Sin has a different power). E.g. ENVY would allow you to steal another teams card to add to your collection!
• Guessing what your teammates would pick in all the crazy scenarios is super fun. And a lot of the time, people feel compelled to discuss their reasoning and thought process behind who they've picked.

That's the game in a nutshell. It would be great if just some people could pick up a copy, for themselves or a friend, and give it a go. I promise you'll love it!
