Z and Jeremiah made up a game a few days ago during lunch using a piece of paper and a handful of large buttons, and Jeremiah handed me a copy of written rules the next day. After a bit more playtesting, the game took its final shape, and lo and behold, the man has now produced a two-minute video to walk you through the simple instructions video for Button Roundup.

The game for two to five players requires x*4+1 buttons to play (9 for two players, 13 for three players, and so on) and is played in a series of quick rounds, with rounds lasting anywhere from a few seconds (one perfect shot) to a few minutes in length.

Even if you have sworn off button-based games -- or even sewing-notion-based games altogether -- after too many nights of carousing, the soundtrack alone is worth the click. Did they play this game on Magnum P.I. or something?!



You can view and download a PDF of the rules here. That file includes one rule detail not in this video, which reduces the number of one-shot rounds.
