Who it's for

Groups who enjoy light memory games with a mean streak–swapping bad cards onto opponents is the whole point.

Not for you if…

You dislike memory-based guessing or take card-swapping personally–this thrives on needling your tablemates.

Vibe's take

Sneaky and social–half the fun is the smug swap that saddles someone else with your worst card right before scoring.

About this game

Arschmallows turns marshmallow roasting into a cutthroat memory game. Cards sit facedown in front of each player showing a Roast Rating–the toastier the mallow, the worse it is to hold–and action cards let you peek, swap, or dump your crispiest cards onto someone else's row. Over six rounds you're juggling half-known information, trying to end up holding the lowest total when the smoke clears.
