I laughed myself into an asthma attack!
Ok, this game is legitimately hilarious, and devious enough to bring out people's competitive nature! It says a round is roughly 15 minutes, but we kept reshuffling the trash pile, so the round wound up being closer to 45.
It's SUPER easy to play -- you literally deal the cards and start playing because instructions are written on the cards themselves. We had a few scenarios where we had to adapt as the game went on, namely with the "Food Fight" action card. The deck has so many action cards that it was hard to draw ingredient cards for the Food Fight, so we decided that action cards are just Null rather than to keep drawing until you hit an ingredient. Simple adjustment.
The game itself is perfect for family night since it's easy to play and the gross ingredients appeal to a kid's sense of humor. But my friends and I are all mid-30s and we still had a blast! After the third time getting "Health Inspector," one friend started cursing. Our other friend, who is a notorious trash-talker when she plays spades, called me a "heifer" when I smacked her, once again, with Tummy Ache. Did I mention this was a faith-based group for graduate students? LOL
I've already bought the expansion pack and we're looking forward to playing again at our next monthly potluck. I might filter out a few of the action cards to help balance the deck with the Food Fight issue, but that's my only potential "negative" from the entire game.
