Board Game Supermom

Who’s the real Supermom here?

A schoolyard bruise, a mother-in-law dropping by unannounced, an expensive hobby—45 provocative situations with no single "right" answer. There is only *your* answer. Stand your ground, rack up points, and remember: everyone at the table has a secret role.

Every mom’s three fronts

• Parenting
• Home
• Self-fulfillment.

Each situation falls into one of these three categories, and the points earned go into the corresponding column on your player board. Which column matters most to *you* depends on the secret role you receive at the start of the game.

How to play

Round after round, just like a TV game show: one situation, several sharp responses, and a host who decides whose answer was the best.

1. Get your secret role
   Each player receives a Supermom card with a secret objective: double points for one category, zero for another, or an end-game bonus condition. Keep it hidden until the very end.
2. Pick a provocative situation
   The host lays out one more card than there are players. Players take turns discarding a situation they don`t want; two remain on the table, and the host reads one of them aloud.
3. Play a reaction card and explain
   A stern reprimand, a bribe, a joke, or a calm conversation? Choose a reaction card from your hand and explain exactly what you would do—feel free to use examples from your own life. It is the explanation that gets scored, not the card itself.
4. Earn points
   The host distributes tokens—each value is used only once per round, so no two scores are identical. The best answer isn`t necessarily the "correct" one: the most honest, funniest, or most convincing response wins.

Everyone takes a turn as host twice (or three times, if there are three players). The first host is the person who most recently watched *Supermama*.

12 secret roles. One of them is yours.

Your role determines what truly matters to you in this game. The bonus applies only during the final scoring, so throughout the game, you secretly push for your own scenarios while quietly discarding others. If someone figures out your role, they’ll use it against you.

• Homemaker
  "My home is my life`s work."
  Score double points for "Housekeeping," but points for "Self-Realization" do not count.
• Eco-Mom
  "No sugar, no screens, no chemicals."
  If your "Housekeeping" score is among the highest at the table, gain +8 points.

Super Mode

Once you’ve mastered the basic rules, add the 15 secret tokens. Each player receives two "Backstage" tokens and one "Psychologist`s Intervention" token, and may secretly play one token along with a reaction card. The Host only finds out about this after awarding points.

• Backstage — exactly 2 points
  Regardless of the Host`s decision. A safety net for when the answer wasn`t great.
• Psychologist`s Intervention — ×2
  The Host`s score is doubled: 5 becomes 10. For those confident in their position.
