Concept

It’s Fine Because… is a party drinking game where players must defend the undesirable traits of a romantic partner. The core idea revolves around justifying and rationalizing these bad traits ("red flags") in a way that makes the partner seem appealing or acceptable, despite their obvious flaws. In each round, players present their partner's positive trait ("green flag") alongside several red flags and must use creativity and humor to convince the group that their partner is still the best choice.

Game Rules

Gameplay:

1. The game is played over 3 rounds. At the start of each round, players draw 1 Green Flag Card and place it face-up in front of them to establish a positive trait for their romantic partner.

2. Going clockwise, each player places 3 Red Flag Cards face-up in front of themselves. These represent the negative traits of their partner.

3. After laying down their cards, each player must defend their partner’s traits, justifying why their partner is still “perfect” despite their flaws.

4. After all players have defended their partners, the group votes on whose partner is the worst choice.

5. The player with the worst romantic partner must drink and keep their partner’s cards in a pile beside them as a reminder of their unfortunate choice.

6. Discard the used green and red flag cards, and draw 3 new Red Flag Cards at the beginning of the next round.

End Game:

1. After 3 rounds, each player with cards set aside must place all of them in front of them and defend their terrible partner one last time.

2. The group votes on the final worst romantic partner. The player with the worst partner must take a final drink.

3. If only one player has cards set aside, they automatically lose and drink.
