Trumped Up Cards is a party game that's so, so easy to play. Every round, players use their White answer cards to respond to a Blue question card. The best response wins the round. Then, the process repeats itself, until the player with the biggest brain and the most strength and stamina wins the game. No recounts allowed!! 550 total cards: 420 white answer cards 90 blue question cards 40 Trump Cards, which give players special and often unfair advantages to alter game-play in fun, surprising, and dramatic ways OFFICIAL RULES 1. First, all players must thoroughly sanitize their hands with Purell. Then, they should pledge their loyalty to Trumped Up Cards: The World's Biggest Deck by raising their right hands and saying, Believe me, folks, this deck is so yuuuge, you won't believe it! People all over the world are talking about it! 2. Then, each player draws ten very clean White Cards. 3. The player with the greatest net worth begins as the Card Evaluating Officer (CEO). 4. The CEO must say, I'm really rich, and make a dismissive hand gesture. Then, the CEO selects a fantastic Blue Card from the top of the deck and reads its text out loud. 5. Each player chooses a White Card that best answers or completes the Blue Card, then passes it face down to the CEO. 6. The CEO shuffles the answers and shares each card combination with the group. The CEO then chooses the most tremendous response. The player who submits the winning answer receives that hand's Blue Card. All Blue Cards have a letter on them. These letters are very, very important, so unless you're a fool or a loser, pay attention to them! 7. After the round, a new player becomes the CEO, and everyone, even the stupid losers, draws another White Card to maintain an inventory of ten. The new CEO puts a new Blue Card into play, and the game continues as described in steps 5 and 6. 8. On both White Cards and Blue Cards, you will occasionally see a footnote. Footnotes do not impact game play. We include them to provide more context regarding quotes and other information that is cited or alluded to on these cards. 9. There are a subset of White Cards known as Trump Cards. Trump Cards have larger-than-average powers that players can use to obtain a strategic advantage during a hand. Trump Cards are usually played in combination with a standard White Card. At the end of a hand, a player who has used a Trump Card in combination with a White Card will need to draw two White Cards to maintain an inventory of ten. See below for additional information about how specific Trump Cards work. 10. Breaking the rules at any time is okay, as long as you can persuade a simple majority of players that what you are doing will help make America a more amazing place to live than China, Mexico, or even Japan! 11.There are two ways to play the game to conclusion: FOR BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS The game ends when a player can spell V-O-T-E using the letters on the Blue Cards he or she has won. DC Gridlock variation: At the beginning of a Big League game, players can decide if they also want to add the DC Gridlock variation. Here's how it works: When a player spells V-O-T-E as described above, the other players can block him or her, if collectively they have won enough Blue cards to spell V-E-T-O. If they can, those players can eliminate one of the Blue Cards the other player has used to spell V-O-T-E, thus blocking his or her win. Players who successfully apply a veto must discard the Blue Cards they used to do so after applying it. Play continues until someone can successfully spell V-O-T-E without getting vetoed by the other players. FOR TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHTS The game ends when the majority of the players grow so depressed at the prospect of a real Trump presidency that they just start quietly sobbing. In this scenario, the player who possesses the most Blue Cards at this point is the winner. Whichever version you play, all the stupid losers have to call the winner Mr. Trump for the rest of the evening. In addition, the winner is allowed to run for president (assuming he or she can persuade RNC Chairman Reince Priebus that there truly is no saner option). TRUMP CARDS Deport an opponent's answer! This card lets you eliminate an opponent's White Card. Play this card after the CEO reads all the responses for a hand, but before he or she selects the most tremendous response. You should play this card when you think your White Card is the second best answer in a hand. By eliminating the competition, your White Card may then become the most tremendous. Impose a 45 percent tariff! This card lets you impose a 45 percent tariff on the White Cards your opponents submit during a hand. In other words, their responses must be 45 percent more tremendous than your own response. If none of them are, you win the hand. Who decides if a response is 45 percent more tremendous than yours? Your gut. Declare White Card bankruptcy! Discard five White Cards you don't like, plus this Bankruptcy card, and select six new White Cards to replace them. Play this card before submitting a White Card for a hand. Once you have your new cards, you must submit a White Card for that hand too. Play the woman card! This card lets you dismiss any female player's answer during a hand, for no good reason. If you like, you can also use this card against feminist men too, or any man who feels ethically ambivalent about beauty contests. So sue me! Use this card to challenge any player who performs an action you think is unfair or unethical. If the majority of other players agree with you, that player must sit out a hand. If they don't, you have to sit out a hand. Tilt the playing field! Use this card to play two White Cards in a single hand, thus increasing your chances of winning. When the hand is over, draw three new White Cards to maintain your inventory of ten. Invoke eminent domain! After a hand is completed and the CEO has chosen a winning Blue Card, you can use this card to seize that card for yourself. (This is useful if the winning Blue Card features a letter you need to complete the word V-O-T-E.) After you play this card, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Go off script! Use this card to submit your own original answer instead of using a White Card. If you have a Dry-Erase marker, you can write your answer directly on the card. If you don't, simply write your answer on a small sheet of paper and submit that. At the end of the hand, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Eliminate liberal bias! This card lets you exclude the player sitting to the left of you from a hand. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for the hand. Reframe the narrative! Use this card to force the CEO to replace that hand's Blue Card with a different one. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's initial Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for it.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
