Frantic Antics

Frantic Antics

Frantics Antics is a frenetic mood game in which everybody guesses and mimes at the same time. Make some space, keep the fragile objects away and throw yourself into the game!

1. Pick a word to mime between the 4 available on your card. Some are harder then other, but they reward more points.
2. At the signal, everybody mimes and tries to guess the other's mime at the same time (yes, everything at once! )
3. If somebody finds your word... Or if you find somebody else's word, move forward as many squares as the number associated with the word.

Be careful, you fill sometimes get constraints that will add some spice to the game and distract your audience (hold your best yoga pose, bowing to someone, mime in slow motion...) Who will end the round the quickest ?

About the authors 

Aaron Smith started designing games as a child - tricky mazes with no dead ends, and video-game inspired pen and pencil puzzles. He has worked as a video game programmer for 20 years, and rediscovered board game design as a hobby. His published titles include SHEEPLE: The Best Game in the Ewe-niverse (family board game) and the NSFW expansion, Old World New Word (strategy game), and of course this game! He currently travels the world and designs all sorts of games, from party games to strategy games.

Ryan Hennings fascination with designing games began by modifying the rules of existing games as a child, and has continued to be a hobby since he met his friend Aaron Smith, who has the same passion, in preschool. Ryan has been a software engineer for 20 years and lives in Eugene, Oregon.
