Det dårlige selskab (2014)

About this game

Det dårlige selskab (The bad company) is a Danish party game in the style of Cards of Against Humanity and Apples to Apples. The players take turns being the judge. The judge flips over an orange card with a fill-in-the-blank text. Each of the players holds a hand of 13 black cards, and they contribute one of their cards unseen. One by one the cards are read aloud, and afterwards the judge picks a winner. The winner gains the orange card and adds it to his or her hand. Each player has a card limit of 13 cards, and each won card reduces the amount of black cards to choose from. Some of the orange cards have special effects, or require that two black cards be played. The game contains 90 orange cards and 360 black cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 16.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 16 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
