L.O.L. Surprise Stylin’ Studio

In the Old West, the wily snake oil salesman had a special talent, getting the most skeptical customers to buy the most dubious products. Now it’s your turn! Invent your own zany two-word products – Rumor Mirror! Burp Balloon! – and sell them to all types of wacky customers. If the round’s customer buys your product, you win!

To set up Snake Oil Card Game, each player takes six purple word cards. The customer for the round draws a red customer card and announces it. Inventors quickly combine two purple word cards from their hand to form a crazy new product to sell to that customer. When ready, they put their two word cards face down on the table. In clockwise order, each inventor quickly pitches his or her product directly to the customer. The customer decides which product to buy and gives the inventor of that product the round’s customer card as the prize. Inventors refill their hands, and the player to the left of the customer becomes the next round’s customer. Play repeats until each player has been the customer once. Whoever collects the most customer cards wins.

Snake Oil Card Game is recommended for 3-10 players ages 13 and up.
