#FakeFacts Game

Small enough for a stocking, this is a fun game to play around the table. #FakeFacts is for people who love weird, hard-to-believe trivia, fast-paced social games, or just fooling their family or friends. Players are given a topic and write down a fake “fact,” aka a lie, on a piece of paper. The dealer has a card with one real fact related to the topic and writes that on a piece of paper; then reads all submissions. You get points by guessing which fact is not fake. Players can expect to learn bizarre, surprising and totally unpredictable trivia. $14.99

One of the pleasures of publishing a lifestyle magazine like Texas Lifestyle Magazine is that we receive invitations to attend events, travel and review products. We accept and write about a small fraction of these offers, always with a view to what would be interesting or helpful to our readers. You may notice that our reviews are generally positive, which is because we don’t enjoy writing negative ones, and therefore choose only to write about the things we can recommend without reservation.
