The Enthusiast

Can't wait to watch you turn on a friend

The Enthusiast cannot wait to watch you turn on a friend. Every rule is the best one yet, good news is thrilling, and bad news is even better as long as it lands on someone else. They love a rule that points at a person: pick anyone at the table, and they sing, swap, or owe you. Pick someone good!

One night with The Enthusiast

"Ooh ooh ooh!" The Enthusiast could hardly get the words out. "Pick anyone at the table. They sing their next move!"

The player holding the card looked around. Their oldest friend. Their sister. Their boss, who had been invited by mistake.

"Pick someone good!" squealed the Enthusiast.

The table leaned in. The boss looked like a person who had never sung in front of anybody in their life.

They picked the boss. The boss, to everybody's surprise, stood up, cleared their throat, and sang "I play the four of hearts" to a tune everyone knew, with real feeling. The table cheered. The Enthusiast had to be asked to stop clapping.

It turned out the boss had been waiting years for an excuse.
