About the Game

Everyone wants to shine at the wedding, just not more than the bride. Choose and reveal accessory cards simultaneously to build your connected arm, read the table, and decide when to play HOLD BACK. Second place earns the most ranking points each round, but the cards you keep as points leave your hand and change your choices in later rounds. The first players to hold back may conceal one last accessory for a surprise at scoring. Play three rounds, then compare final scores. A Robot Bridesmaid variant brings the same contest of timing to two players.

In the box: 65 cards: 55 Accessories, 5 HOLD BACK cards, and 5 double-sided THE START / WILD cards.

English-language box. Rules available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.

Design: Jimic. Art: Irene Liu.
