About these cards

Every House Rule Card is copied from the "Try one variation" section of that game's free page in the Game Library. Cards marked "Board Game Therapy™ house rule (not official)" are our suggestions, not the publisher's rules. Cards marked "Official variant" come from the game's own rulebook; check your edition before you play.

These are ideas for fun and for practicing skills like asking, sharing, and waiting your turn at the table. They are not therapy or treatment. Anyone can pass, and any rule can be dropped if it is not working for your group.
