Footy party games for grand final day, Origin and Mad Monday
The game's on, the snags are on, and you've got an hour before kick off with a room full of people who all think they know footy best. Here's how to make the most of it.
1. NRL trivia, with a twist
Straight trivia is great until the same person wins every round. Sin Bin's Bluff Field fixes that: everyone writes a fake answer, so the person who knows nothing can still win by fooling the die hards.
2. Name the grand final from the score
Read out a scoreline like 17 to 16 and see who can name the teams and the year. In Sin Bin it's the Scoreline round, with hints after every guess.
3. Design an expansion team
Everyone draws a jersey and invents a team name for the next expansion club. Shuffle them, deal them out and see who builds the funniest club. It works brilliantly with mixed crowds because nobody needs to know a single stat.
4. Banter rounds
"What did the coach really say at half time?" Everyone answers, everyone votes. Keep it friendly and it'll be the bit people quote for weeks.
5. Golden point to finish
End with a double points question where people can bet their score. It keeps the bottom of the ladder in it until the final whistle.
