How to play
Previando is the card game PASANDOLA built to kick off any pregame or night in with friends. The phone goes around and every turn brings up a card with a different challenge, from social dares to trivia questions, and losing carries a consequence in the shape of a drink.
Every game takes 2 to 15 players and runs straight from your phone browser, with no download and no sign up. Made for warming up before heading out or for a whole night of hanging around.
- The group types in the player names and picks how harsh the penalties are before starting.
- The phone rotates turn by turn, following the order the names were typed in.
- Every turn reveals a new card with a challenge from one of the categories in the game.
- Whoever has the turn takes on the challenge in front of the group, or takes the consequence if they would rather not or if they lose.
- The consequence is settled by rolling a dice on screen, which sets how many sips the loser takes.
- Every round closes with a Universal card that challenges the whole group at once, not just whoever has the turn.
Social
Challenges built to get the whole group interacting, with confessions, votes and questions about the people in the room.
Show
Whoever has the turn has to do something in front of the group, anywhere from a short performance to a ridiculous gesture.
Versus
Pits two players against each other in a head to head duel, and whoever loses the face off pays the consequence.
Trivia
General knowledge questions. Getting one right means no penalty at all, or even the chance to hand the sips to somebody else.
Luck
Pure chance cards where there is no way to prepare, whatever comes up, comes up.
Universal
Closes every round and challenges the whole group at the same time, not just whoever has the turn at that moment.
Game settings
Before starting, the settings screen lets you tune the three things that decide how the game feels.
Players
This is where you type in the names of everyone playing, with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 15. You can add or remove players from that same screen before starting.
Penalty Intensity
Sets the range of the dice rolled when you lose a challenge. The Light option rolls between 1 and 3 sips, and the Intense option rolls between 1 and 6, for groups after a rowdier night.
Number of Rounds
Pick between 5, 10 or 15 rounds. Every round closes with a Universal card, so raising this number also raises how many times the whole group plays together.
