QUICK STARTER GUIDE

Each player gets dealt 10 White cards. The person who most recently pooped is named the Card Czar and starts by reading a Black question card aloud

The other players fill in the blanks and pass the White card(s) that they think are funniest to the Card Czar.

The Card Czar shuffles the cards (so that they don’t know who contributed which card) who then re-reads the Black card before filling in the blanks with the White answer cards.

The Card Czar picks a winner who is given the Black card as a way of keeping score. After each round, players draw back up to 10 White cards and play continues clockwise with someone else becoming the Card Czar.

ADDITIONAL WAYS TO PLAY

There are plenty of ways to spice up the game. Here are a few additional house rules you might like to try..

REBOOT

At any time, players can trade in one of the Black cards they have won in exchange for replacing as many White cards as they like.

NEVER EVER

If there’s a White card that you don’t understand you may replace it for another, but you must read it aloud first so that your friends can be amused by your ignorance.

DEMOCRACY

Instead of the Card Czar deciding, each player chooses their favorite card each round. The winner is the card with the most votes. In the event of a tie, the person who read the Black card chooses the winner.

DRINKING RULES

Instead of there being just one winner, the Card Czar chooses a first, second and third card choice. The people who played these cards get to nominate who they would like to take a drink:

The first choice allocates 3 drinks, the second choice allocates 2 drinks, the third choice allocates 1 drink.

Alternatively, you can play whoever didn’t win the round has to take a drink i.e. everyone drinks apart from the Card Czar and the winner of the round.
