What’s a DAME to do?! Review and Giveaway

Sometimes working at a Party411.com can be like one big, ...well, party! We got to test drive a fun game called What’s a DAME to do?! and we really had a blast. It's a party game made for 2 to 8 women (ages 17 on up), and since our office 88% female it is a good fit for us. Read on to learn how you can win a What’s a DAME to do?! game for your next party!

The game is very simple. Each player takes a turn as the Dilemma Dame, and reads out a dilemma card (e.g. "I see an Ex at the grocery store, 2 aisle away, and I am NOT looking my best, what's a Dame to do?!"), and the other players contribute from their hand of cards a possible reaction that either fit the situation (Suck in your stomach) or are just really funny (Use pepper spray). Points are awarded for the reaction that matches the "Dilemma Dame's" choice or very funny dilemma/reaction combos.

The Party Girls Hard at Work :)

My favorite dilemma/response combos during our game –

During an elegant dinner party, I shift in my chair and it emits a loud and rather embarrassing sound, what's a Dame to do?
- Yell fire!
As I enter an elevator my arm accidentally hits a guy's groin area, what's a Dame to do?
- Pretend you are on a scavenger hunt.

We were laughing so hard the whole time, and we played much longer than we intended to (who wants to work anyway?). We all agreed that this would be the perfect party game because you can play a round, then stop to chat, and pick up the next player without getting confused about what is going on. It would be a great game for a girls night, a playgroup or even a bridal or baby shower.

The printed directions were a little confusing, but you can see a quick video on GamesforDames.com that explains the gameplay in less than 5 minutes. I can see us using this game quite a bit, so I hope they put out an expansion pack!

You can pick up the game at GamesforDames.com.

Or, you can try and win a What’s a DAME to do?! game for yourself.

I will be using this for my after the removal of the "plumbing system party" weekend. Several of my friends and myself have had the "Big H" removal and sometimes feel in the dumps or have that moment of wanting something to do that takes the focus off what we have gone through. I think this will be a great game to have. e plan to spend the weekend at a resort and have a blast, no cell phones or talking about the job!!!!!!!. Girls just having FUN!!!!
