NICE TRY: The Challenge Party Game

About this board game

NICE TRY: The Challenge Party Game is a competitive party game for 4 to 8 players, played over 8 rounds in approximately 90 minutes.

Each round presents a fast, crazy, and hilarious mini-game from a different discipline. Across more than 50 challenges, players test their mind, body, and dexterity using simple household items such as spoons or coins.

Before the challenge begins, everyone enters a bidding phase. This psychological contest requires players to judge their own abilities while estimating what their fellow players can accomplish. A confident bid can create a valuable opportunity, but overconfidence can be costly.

• The player with the worst bid is eliminated from the challenge.
• The best bid offers the greatest potential reward.
• A successful attempt earns points according to the bid.
• Failing after overestimating yourself adds minus points.

This combination of physical skill, clever thinking, and risk assessment keeps every challenge tense and entertaining. Players must decide when to aim high, when to stay cautious, and how well they really understand the competition around them.

After the eighth round, the player with the most points wins. NICE TRY turns ordinary objects and short challenges into a lively test of confidence, ability, and judgment—one where a bold performance can earn the respect of the table, while a failed boast may bring a gloating “NICE TRY!” instead.
