Have you ever found yourself arguing about who is the best Jewish nerd in TV history, or what kind of treyf food do you hope can be kosher, or why do Jews leave stones on their graves? Now you can find out the "answers" to these and other questions-82 in total! — By playing Jewish card withdraw, this is a new game for MOT in the atmosphere of a party.

(By the way, the "correct" answer is Howard Volovitz, Parma Chicken in "The Big Bang Theory" and "Because Larry David took all the flowers.")

At least these are some of the answers that Molly Zeff and her Waffle Talk team at Flying Leap Games have put forward. They developed "Jewish Card Revoked"-part of the card game world, initiated by the popular Black Card provider Cards for All People. And the Latino card is revoked.

Zeff thinks it’s time to launch a similar Jewish card game, but will the Boston-based Flying Leap Games, the company she co-founded, be allowed to produce it? Yes! Jay Bobo, the founder of Cards for All People, gave Zeff the green light when he contacted him.

"I told him that Jews like to make fun of themselves," Zef recalled. "I mentioned that I would like to participate in a Jewish abolition edition. He is very enthusiastic. He said that you understand your own culture, so follow your instincts."

She did it. Zeff, 37, worked with friends, colleagues and even comedians to develop this game. They designed standard categories, such as food, culture, entertainment, customs, and holidays, and then added some weird categories, such as awkward family time and troubles. Oh, and bagels.

As with other cancelled games, each question card has four possible answers. Players must debate which is the best and vote for their choice. With the majority rule, the player or team with the most agreed answers wins. However, the correctness of this game is subjective. Through the design, players of all levels of Jewish canon or knowledge can weigh any issues.

Most questions are almost boring. For example, someone asked what gefilte fish should be. One of four options: Take it out of the jar. Another: erased from the memory of the Jews.

Other questions deal with more serious topics, such as why Jews were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition. But for one of the possible answers, "We should ask Python", players will soon feel that the game is not too serious. Another question is what hurts the Jews the most today. One answer is "chocolate sauce".

"We were very careful not to put in things that would trigger people," Zef said. "Due to the high focus on user experience, we want to make it as fun as possible. You are playing games because you are crying."

Zeff has been playing games all his life. Growing up in St. Louis, she played countless hours of Taboo, Balderdash and Apples to Apples.

Growing up in a Conservative family, Zeff found himself attracted by stricter Judaism during college. She describes herself today as "a traditional, equal, Jewish hippie who also participates in progressive Orthodox service."

After working in a non-profit organization for many years, she changed course in 2017 and founded Flying Leap Games with her childhood friend Jonathan Cannon. "I imagine adults sitting around a table writing ridiculous questions to make a living," she said. "I thought it would be fun."

Yes, but fun quickly brings success. In the first year, Flying Leap Games created Wing It, which was unexpectedly popular at the Game Manufacturers Association trade show, and sold out its first prints in just four weeks. In 2020, Million Dollar Doodle ("Think about'Shark Tank' encounters game'Telestrations'," an article says) becomes the company's third game.

Zeff said that if "Jewish Card Revoked" becomes a hit, she hopes to make expansion packs with more questions and answers, and/or a Broadway version or an Israel-centric version.

But first, Zeff added that she just hoped that "Jewish Card Revoked" would inspire people to put down their gyroscopes and reach for a deck of cards. The content on the box was "a party game about Jewish culture, from fish to guilt." .

Zeff said: "I think we managed to create something that can bring laughter without the risk of alienating anyone."
