Scruples, the game of everyday moral dilemmas was invented in 1984 in Winnipeg, Canada. After being featured on the Johnny Carson show, it went on to sell eight million copies in six languages.
The game was conceived when the inventor was researching an article about baby boomer morality. He gave a questionnaire to a group of friends who spent the whole evening discussing the questions. It was so much fun, someone said, “This ought to be a game.” And the rest is history.
The object of Scruples is to get five points. You gain a point by correctly predicting how the player you select will answer Yes, No, or Depends. In other words, you need to line up a question and a player with the answer you have been given.
Don’t be reluctant to bluff. It makes the game more fun.
