20 predictions for everyday life – Typical day to day
Not every round needs a special occasion. A birthday party, the lunch break at the office, Sunday family dinner or a perfectly normal evening in a shared flat: everywhere, every person shows their little quirks. Typical turns that into a game. You write predictions about each other, and whoever sees one come true ticks it off. The rules in detail are in the how-to-play guide.
Setting up Typical for everyday life
- Play over several days. In everyday life, a longer round pays off: a week at the office, a month in a shared flat. With 4 × 4 there's plenty left to discover.
- Set an end date, such as the end of the week. The round is then scored even without a bingo.
- Small prizes. The winner gets a week off washing up – or the last piece of cake.
- Blitz mode “Typical us”. This category holds sentences that come true in almost any group. It's also preselected the first time you choose Blitz mode.
20 predictions for every day
These sentences come from the “Typical us” category in Blitz mode. On the card, each sentence is preceded by the name of a person from your round:
- pulls out their phone mid-conversation
- arrives late
- cracks up at their own joke before it is even finished
- helps themselves to someone else's snacks
- texts "almost there" and shows up half an hour later
- tells a story everyone already knows
- googles who's right in the middle of an argument
- rounds everyone up for a group photo
- shows everyone a video on their phone
- asks for a charger
- loses their train of thought mid-sentence
- complains about the weather
- suggests what to do next
- yawns loudly
- brings up an old inside joke
- tells everyone about a weird dream
- declines a phone call
- asks what the plan actually is
- sends a meme to the group chat while everyone is sitting together
- says goodbye and then stays another hour
Where Typical goes down well day to day
- At the office or in a team: as a relaxed start to the week, with predictions like “brings cake” or “forgets to unmute the microphone”.
- In a shared flat: who empties the fridge, who takes the bins out, who spends the longest in the shower?
- In the family: at Sunday lunch or on holidays, when everyone gets together and a lot goes the way it does every year.
- Among friends: in the group chat, at sport or when cooking together.
Keeping it fun for everyone
Typical lives on everyone being able to laugh at themselves. So write about behaviour, not about looks or sore points. Anything that would expose someone doesn't belong on the card – even if it's true. Insults and put-downs are explicitly banned in Typical, and every sentence can be reported.
