Why Shouldn't I Eat you?

The goal is simple: Don't get eaten!

In this quick and simple party game, one player will take on the role of a hungry monster. All other players will be humans trying to talk their way out of getting eaten.

The game is played in ‘rounds’. Every round, the monster will allow each player to make one statement to defend themselves from being eaten. A player’s statement can be about themself (why the monster shouldn’t eat them) or about another player (why the monster should eat them instead). Once all humans have had the chance to speak, the monster will decide who to munch on that round. Whoever the monster picks will lose a finger. A human player is out of the game if they lose all their fingers. The last human remaining wins the game.

Players are encouraged to be creative with their statements. What texture does their skin have? What do their opponents taste like? Any argument it takes to convince the monster why they shouldn't eat you.
