Poo: The Card Game

Play monkeys flinging poo at each other until only the cleanest one is left.

It has been a rough day in the monkey cage and something in the food was off. In monkey world there is only one answer: fling poo. Everyone plays a monkey, and the goal is to be the last one standing, which means the cleanest one. On your turn you draw and play a card, either to hurl poo at someone or to wipe yourself clean, and out of turn you can play cards to defend yourself or foil rivals. It is a 2009 card game for two to eight, over in five to fifteen minutes, with crude humor and player elimination. Perfect for a lunch break, if your co-workers have a sense of humor.

Who it's for

You want a very short, silly card game for up to eight, and nobody at the table minds crude humor.

Not for you if…

You dislike player elimination or toilet humor. It is quick, but you can be knocked out early.

Vibe's take

Fast, rude and cheerful. You are attacking and defending in the same breath, and the joke carries the game as much as the cards do.
