About this game

A playing card game in which players take turns drawing up to 5 cards, playing a card to either give positive points to someone, negative points to someone, or play an effect card. Wild swings in points can be accomplished as cards are asymmetric and players tend to target the current leader. Some actions cards also tend to completely negate other events or effects creating a wild, unexpected outcome. The card game plays until either one player has 1000 points or the deck has run out and all players have finished playing their remaining cards. The game comes from a Youtube video personality, Alex Day and his cousin Danny Hooper, and includes humorous hand-drawn pictures on each card.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 3. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
