Everything about Scruples Game totally explained
Scruples (full title
"A Question of Scruples"), is a popular
board game based on
ethical dilemmas. Players are given five yellow cards with a moral dilemma such as "You accidentally damage a car in a parking lot. Do you leave a note with your name and phone number?" The player also has one red card, with either YES, NO, or DEPENDS written on it. The player must ask the question to the person who they most think will reply with the answer on the red card. If the answer matches the red card, the player asking the question gets rid of their yellow card and red card, and picks up a new red card. In this way, the game tests how well players know the other players. The game is over when someone gets rid of all five cards.
The game was invented by
Henry Makow in 1984 and developed by High Game Enterprises. It was later sold to
Hasbro, who marketed the game (partly through
Parker Brothers) for several years. The game has since sold over seven million copies worldwide and has been translated into five languages.
Original Version
The game was originally designed and marketed by Henry Makow in 1984, who later sold the rights to Hasbro Canada in 1986 for approximately one million dollars. Under Hasbro, the game sold over seven million copies. Hasbro later returned the rights to High Game Enterprises, who continues to market the game to this day.
Millennium Edition
Due to the cultural aspect of the moral dilemma questions, Scruples is updated every five years. The Millennium edition is the latest version, which contains about 1/3 of the questions in the original Hasbro version and 2/3 new questions.
