How to play
- One player volunteers to be roasted.
- Going around, each player delivers one roast joke or observation.
- Jokes must be funny, not mean-spirited. Personal attacks are not the same as roast jokes.
- The roastee scores each burn from 1 (weak) to 5 (deserved a standing ovation).
- Highest total score wins. Then a new person volunteers for the seat.
Example round
- 'You're the type of person who sets three alarms and still asks what time it is.'
- 'Your vibe is 'just shipped something to the wrong address but confidently.'
- 'You're the only person I know whose 'five-minute shower' is a historical fiction.'
Tips
- Great roasts are specific, accurate, and delivered warmly. Generic insults don't land.
- The roastee laughing is the highest compliment — that's a 5.
