Every card in Shit Happens shows a small catastrophe, such as being attacked by a swarm of bees or seeing your father naked. A panel of mental health experts rated each of them from 1 to 100 for how awful it is, and your job is to guess where each one sits on the scale. You aim to put ten cards in the correct order, compared against the ones already laid out, while your friends argue about whether the dentist or the wedding disaster is worse. It is a party game for adults only, aged eighteen and up, with an hour of arguing, wincing and laughing. The more the table can relate, the better it plays.

Who it's for

You have a group of adult friends with a taste for dark humour, who enjoy debating what really ranks as the worst.

Not for you if…

You will play with children or sensitive relatives, or you dislike crude content. It is rated eighteen and up for a reason.

Vibe's take

Loud, giggly and shamelessly rude. The scoring scale is serious, but the table's reactions to each card are what you will remember.
