🎯 Goal of the game
You play as one of the fierce Amazons fighting for your tribe’s survival — or as a spy trying to destroy it from within. Your mission? Figure out who’s who before you’re voted out by mistake.
🃏 How a turn works
Everyone gets a secret role, and then the drama begins. The first part is played in silence, eyes closed, tension building. Then — boom. Accusations, laughter, bluffing, fake alliances. Someone always knows something. Someone pretends not to. And someone always talks too much.
At the end of the round, everyone votes. Someone’s out. Rinse and repeat.
🧩 Why I like it (a little)
🔥 Small, fast, chaotic — in a fun way.
🃏 Great for larger groups that love energy and arguments.
💬 You don’t need a rulebook — just friends willing to overact and overanalyze.
💀 Why it’s not perfect
Let’s be honest: this isn’t really a game — it’s a social experiment in disguise. Too much talking, too much bluffing, too much “look me in the eyes and tell me you’re not lying.”
For introverts? A waking nightmare. And if you’re playing with people who take forever to decide… good luck. Waiting for your turn feels like waiting for the sequel to your favorite movie — it might never come. After a few rounds, everything starts to repeat itself — same roles, same reactions, same “trust issues.”
✨🧀🍞 Cheesy Joke Time 😄
Playing Amazons feels like starring in a cheap Disney spin-off:
Pocahontas — adorably naive, convinced everyone is on our side and absolutely no one could be the traitor. 😉
Nacoma — the one who sees the future and warns, “hey, we’re about to get robbed!”,
…while the rest of the table just goes, “shhh, it’s definitely not him.”
John Smith — the biggest traitor around, smiling like your best friend while he pulls the rug from under your feet, steals, wins, and disappears faster than the special effects budget.
If you love drama, laughter, accusations and chaotic energy — Amazons is a night you definitely won’t forget.
☕ Impressions
Amazons is pure emotion over logic. It lives and dies by the group you play with — if your friends love yelling, accusing, and laughing, it’ll shine. For me? Too loud, too social, too much energy. Fun to watch once — exhausting to live through.
🎯 Rating: 1/10
One point for the Amazons themselves — because even if the game didn’t win me over, at least the ladies are still fighting for their own. 🏹
