"Say Anything" to be released at Origins (Comes with a SELECT-0-MATIC 5000).
It's been two and a half years since North Star Games released Wits & Wagers. During that time, Wits & Wagers has steadily climbed through the BGG rankings to become the #1 rated trivia game. Now our goal is to design the #1 party game on the BGG! We know it's ambitious, but we think our next release, Say Anything, has a good chance of doing it...




We've been working on Say Anything since early 2004. It was first work-shopped by game designers at Protospiel 2004 and refined at Protospiel 2005, PowWow 2005, the GoF 2005 - 2007, and weekly game nights at the Looney Labs. Over that time, we've been testing new questions and continually refining them. We think the result is one of the most fun party games around. It will be released at Origins with an MSRP of $24.99 and should be available in your LFGS in July.

Say Anything is best described as the love child of Wits & Wagers and Apples to Apples. I will post a Geeklist contest in late April that will simulate a bit of the game play. Advanced copies of Say Anything will be air freighted to the 12 contest winners many weeks before it is available in stores!

The final Say Anything rules are posted, but you can check out the back of the box below to get a general overview:

We recently received color proofs from the printers. Look closely at the following picture and you will see a mock-up of the next generation SELECT-O-MATIC 5000.





( goo goo ) No, your bulging eyes are not deceiving you...

That is a genuine state of the art SELECT-O-MATIC 5000!!!





The SELECT-O-MATIC 5000 is worth 10 times the $24.99 list price of the entire game. It has been used to chop vegetables, buff automobiles, and you can secretly select colors with it. It doesn't need batteries and it's not solar powered. How does it work? It uses a patent-pending, semi-scientific, semi-magic, semi-faith based technology of the future. You're probably asking yourself, "How can North Star Games provide this great component as such a low price?" The answer: Volume.

It should be available at other stores within a few weeks of Origins. It all depends upon how quickly the game gets shipped to ACD and Alliance's warehouses and how soon your LFGS orders it from them.

No, but a man drove up to my bedroom window last week and blasted some music out of a boom box. I called the cops, put in my earplugs, and went back to sleep.

You totally need Cusack to pimp this game at Origins. Just stand there holding the game over his head. Awesome. Every woman and even 20% of the guys will buy it for that alone.

Thebes, I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to research away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the excavation site you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand search, so soon will turn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach into the bag to the inside...

in your Thebes
the dirt the treat
in your Thebes
my strategy is complete
in your Thebes
I see the doorway to a thousand artifacts
in your Thebes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your Thebes
I see the dirt and the treat
in your Thebes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the dirt
the treat I see in your Thebes...

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

Wow, it is up to 20%? I thought the quote was about 10%. If only it had been that high in my college years, it would have been even easier to get girls!

You did say to "Say Anything", right?

I'm really looking forward to this one based on the wonderful Wits & Wagers and the good fun we're now having with Cluzzle, too.

You could have warned me. I heard the cop cars and ran. But they caught up to me after three blocks. That night in jail wasn't fun.

"Say Anything" might not be your game. I recommend the sequel, "Remain Silent".
