Deer Lord! - A New Twist on Game Night

Thank you Deer Lord! for sponsoring this post. Grab your new edition of Deer Lord! social party game, available through Target retail stores starting July 30.

While I love to live a spontaneous life, it’s good to have some sort of routine to keep me in check. That’s why my friends and I named the last Sunday of the month as our regular game night. It’s fitting since all the fun and games lead up to another game… Game of Thrones. It’s perfect, don’t you think?

Our last game night was one of the best to date. We got to try a new game where the object was to deceive and dupe the other players. Since we’re all big nerds at heart this was the perfect game for us. We got to act silly, pull pranks, and have a ton of fun while doing it. What’s the game, you ask? It’s DEER LORD! from Lark & Clam.

About DEER LORD!

DEER LORD! is a Social Party Game, meaning you’re constantly interacting with other players. Players challenge each other to do wacky things during duels and dupe each other by getting away with doing outrageous things (like a random drum roll or spontaneously lying down on the floor). When you’re duping, the object is to not be called out on it. It’s like no other game you’ve played before!

Check out the play through to get a feel for how the game works.

DEER LORD! started as an independent European gaming phenomena and has flourished into two revised and updated editions. You can find the game at Target and you can expand on the game with the Broadway and Gangsta sets. (We can’t wait to try these!)

We knew that game night was going to get interesting when one of our players decided he was too tired to play anymore. That’s when he became the target of a Dupe - to startle another player. Whipped cream on the hand and a tickle of the nose always does the trick. Of course, the dupe went off without getting noticed, because it was an average action during game night. That’s how Jamie claimed the title of DEER LORD!, a title that is sure to be challenged at our next game night.

We all loved how the game mixed it up with Dupes and Duels, leaving no chance of getting bored. The dueling was my favorite part, especially when I got to sit back and watch. I never knew my friends had so much spunk and were so competitive! The game let us bring out our playful and silly sides, making us all feel several years younger.

It does look like such a cool game. Maybe a bit sophisticated for my daughter as of this moment, but I will have to be thinking about getting it. And I do think that this would go perfect for a night right before watching Game of Thrones with friends as you said.

Okay, now this is a lot of fun! It’s perfect to play with friends and I think they’re going to enjoy this game too. The concept is not that difficult to understand.

I haven’t heard of this game. It sounds fun. This would surely make any gathering interesting.

I haven’t heard of this game, but it sounds fun. I have admittedly been spending too much time on my phone and laptop - would love to take a break with something like this.
