Fame or Forfeit
New card game designed by an 11-year-old hits the shelves just in time to help families through our third lockdown. After hours working and studying in front of the computer here is an opportunity to enjoy family time in a more traditional way.
Fame or Forfeit is the brainchild of Thady Lillingston, who originally created the card game to play with friends. After Thady showed it to his family, his grandfather William Beckett saw its potential for success – having previously produced one of the first ever multimedia games and the cult Cluedo-inspired classic, Foul Play – and decided to produce it professionally.
The idea behind Fame or Forfeit is similar to the classic card game Old Maid, but with additional forfeits. Players must take challenge cards from their partner’s hand and complete the challenges described to score points. The player who has scored the most points once the deck or the players are exhausted is crowned the winner. In addition to the game, players need nothing more than a pen and paper, a lemon, and a bottle of ketchup. The simple set up and easy rules make this fun game suitable for all ages ranging from 8 to 88. Up to six players can take part at any one time, making the game a must-have for the long winter evenings or to cure lockdown boredom.
Fame or Forfeit promises to provide unique entertainment for all children and is one of the only games available to buy this season created from a child’s perspective. The game is not only aimed at children, and customisable packaging can be ordered to create a personalised gift. The box can be printed to say “Granny’s Game or “Grandpa’s Game” for example, making it a fun and pocket-money-friendly gift.
William Beckett said, “When my grandson told us about his new game, we sat down to play it as families do, but we didn’t anticipate how funny, unique, and entertaining Fame or Forfeit would be. Once we played it, I knew others would love this game, and in tough times it is ideal for bringing families together.”
Thady Lillingston added, “I love my new game and so do all my friends, so if you want to make each other do silly challenges like drink ketchup or spell your name backwards in 15 seconds, you should definitely play. It’s great!”
50% of all profits from the sale of Fame or Forfeit will be donated to Save The Children.
