FANTASY OSCARS DRAFT GAME How to play: Print and cut these cards onto heavy stock paper (or use printable tear-apart Avery business card sheets), then gather a group of friends and tune in to the Academy Awards on Oscar Sunday, February 28. Before the show starts, lay out the cards onto a table or corkboard face up. Draw numbers from a hat to determine the draft order. The first player to pick chooses a film or person from the cards on the table, and then the second player and so on until each player has chosen one card. In the second round, the draft order is reversed so that the person who made the last pick in the first round gets the first pick in the second round. The draft order is reversed at the end of each round so that the person with the first overall pick does not maintain this advantage in every round. Keep going for 5 rounds, or until all of the cards have been chosen. As you watch the Academy Awards, you ll earn points on behalf of the people and films in your hand of cards. Films earn one point each time the name of the film is mentioned, and three points for each Oscar win. People earn one point each time their name is mentioned, one point each time they appear during the broadcast (in the audience, on stage or in a clip), and three points for each Oscar win. For example, let s say you re holding Matt Damon in your deck and the award for Actor in a Leading Role is being announced. As the presenters list the nominees, you ll earn two points: One when the presenter says his name, and one when his face is shown in the audience. If Matt Damon wins the award, you ll earn one more point when the presenter announces him as the winner, plus three points for the win. That s six points right there! There s also a few wild cards. These four cards aren t films or people, but can still add points to your score. If you re holding The Academy or God cards you earn one point each time a winner thanks The Academy or God in their acceptance speech, respectively. With The Orchestra card, you earn two points each time a winner s acceptance speech is interrupted by the band playing them off stage. If you have The Steps card, you earn two points each time someone trips walking up or down the stage stairs. MENTIONED SHOWN ON SCREEN WINS THE OSCAR FILM 1 point - 3 points PERSON 1 point 1 point 3 points THE ACADEMY/GOD 1 point each time they re thanked. THE ORCHESTRA 2 points each time a winner is played off. THE STEPS 2 points each time a winner trips or stumbles. Tally up your score on your cards as the show progresses. At the end of the night, the person with the highest score wins! Alternate Rules: For a faster blind draft, deal the fantasy cards face-down like a deck of cards, giving a stack of 5-7 cards to each person playing. Play with just the film cards or just the people cards for a simpler game. Don t collect points for appearances or mentions, just for wins..com
