Kuch Nahi Chahiye A to Z: Diwali Kitty Party Game Rules

What do you need to play Kuch Nahi Chahiye?

• One sheet of paper per lady, with the letters A to Z written down the left side
• One pen per lady
• A phone timer
• The host's phone or a chit with the message "Diwali pe kya chahiye?"

How to play Kuch Nahi Chahiye, step by step

1. Give every lady a sheet of paper and a pen, and have her write the letters A to Z down the left side before the game starts.
2. The host reads out the husband's message, "Diwali pe kya chahiye?", and starts a 2 minute timer.
3. Every lady writes one wish for as many letters as she can: A for Anklet, B for Bangles, C for Cooker, and so on. One wish per letter.
4. When time is up, pens go down. The host calls the letters one by one like Housie numbers, and every lady reads her wish for that letter aloud.
5. Any wish that two or more ladies wrote is cut on all those sheets. Each lady counts the wishes left uncut, and the highest count wins.

Rules: how do you win?

• Nothing written after the timer ends counts.
• A wish shared by two or more ladies is cut from every sheet that has it.
• The wish must start with the right letter, or it scores zero.
• Only one wish per letter counts.
• The lady with the most unique, uncut wishes is the Wish Queen.

Fun twists to make it crazier

• Anyone who honestly writes "kuch nahi" for a letter gets 2 bonus points.
• Cut the time to 90 seconds, or make everyone write with the non writing hand.
• Send the winner's list to her husband as her official Diwali wishlist.
• Play a Hindi round where wishes must be Hindi words (Payal, Jhumka, Kangan).

Tips for the host

• Write A to Z on the sheets before guests arrive to save time.
• Let the group decide in a quick vote if two wishes are "the same" (Gold chain and Sone ki chain).
• Read the funniest unique wish of each lady aloud at the end.
• Keep the sheets; they make great giggles at the next kitty.
