About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever watched those late-night TV commercials where they try to convince you that a toaster can also be a hologram projector? That's exactly the kind of chaos you'll face in But Wait, There's More! In this fast-paced and hilarious game, you step into the shoes of a desperate TV salesman looking for profit. The goal is simple: take a mundane product and turn it into the most indispensable (and absurd) item ever. Each round, a new product is revealed, such as a guitar or a pair of pants. You have just 30 seconds to deliver your sales pitch using the 'Feature' cards you've been dealt. But here's the twist: mid-pitch, you must shout 'But wait, there's more!' and reveal a new, unexpected feature from the deck, instantly incorporating it into your sales pitch. If you can convince the crowd that a guitar with a lie detector and internet access is exactly what they need, you're well on your way to victory! After each round, everyone votes for the most creative or funniest pitch (and no, you can't vote for yourself!). The player with the most votes after three rounds wins it all. For larger groups of 6 or more, you can play in teams, where one player starts the pitch and a teammate finishes it with a new feature, without knowing what the first player said. It's the ultimate party game to test your improvisation and creativity under pressure!
