How to play
- Start any game you like — board game, cards, or a made-up backyard game.
- Tap Add a rule whenever you want fresh chaos; a new house rule appears and joins the active list.
- Keep playing under every active rule until the group agrees to drop one, then tap Retire next to it.
- Tap Reset all to clear every active rule and start a brand new game from scratch.
Silly Rule Randomizer bolts a fresh layer of chaos onto any existing game — board games, card games, or made-up backyard games all work. Tap Add a rule and one house rule appears from a deck of twenty-five, things like left hand only, talk like a pirate, or no smiling allowed, and it stays in effect for the rest of the game unless someone retires it. Every rule you've added stays visible in a running history list below the main card, numbered in the order they arrived, so nobody forgets a rule is still active three rounds later — tap Retire next to any rule once the group agrees to drop it. The deck won't repeat a rule until every one of the twenty-five has been drawn once, then it reshuffles for a second lap. Reset all clears everything and starts a brand new game.
Frequently asked questions
- Do new rules replace old ones or stack up?
- They stack. Every rule you add stays active and visible in the history list until you specifically tap Retire on it, so a game can end up with several silly rules running at once.
- Will we see the same rule twice in one game?
- Not until every rule in the twenty-five-rule deck has been drawn once. After a full pass through the deck, it reshuffles automatically so you can keep adding rules indefinitely.
- What happens when I tap Reset all?
- It clears every active and retired rule from the history list and reshuffles the deck, giving you a completely fresh start for a new game with no leftover rules.
