NEW GAME! PRE-ORDER NOW! Planned release in April 2025!
Getting sick on the first night of the big spring trip. Eating during the rests. Pit-induced claustrophobia. There are so many orchestral annoyances that make this otherwise awesome activity absolutely awful.
But it's OK, because you can vent about them all with your friends while playing Orchestras Are Awful, and then get back to playing Nimrod or Hoedown whatever your favorite piece is at the moment.
Game play is simple
Each round the "judge" will read a question card like:
I wish I knew about _____ before my audition.
Each player selects their best answer from their hand. Then judge reads them aloud and picks the winner. The next round starts and the judge changes to the next player.
Who should play it?
Orchestras Are Awful was written by orchestra musicians and is appropriate for middle and high school orchestra students. It’s a great way to break the ice, get to know each other and have some fun! The game can be played with large groups or small, for hours on a tour bus or just a few hands between classes.
