Funny Friends

Funny Friends is a deliberately tasteless life-simulation card game for adults. Each of you plays a character who starts as a teenager, then picks the cards that shape the rest of a messy life: repeat a school year, join a Bible discussion group, drink at Oktoberfest. Every event pushes your stats around: tobacco, alcohol, drug addiction, wealth, health, sadness, spirituality and wisdom. Overdo one and it knocks another down, so too much smoking makes you thin, getting too fat stops the drinking, and so on. Your characters can also become friends, and sometimes more, with other players' characters. Rated sixteen and up, it is crude, silly and very much about the jokes, so know your group before you open the box.
