I am pretty sure I am the only person who has never played this. Finally getting it, but I have a question - does anyone NOT like it? Like don't play it with my grandmother or that sort of thing.
Also, is it an actual game, as in there is a score with a winner at the end?
1.) Unless your grandma is super cool, dont play it with her. 2.)Its an actual game with scoring. 3.)No, you need at least 3 players, but its better with more. I think around 6 players works best.
I choose who I will play with. Mom is not on the list, and Grandma might have a heart attack. Friends and acquaintances of similar age are best. I'd say 4-6 players is ideal.

It's pretty much just like apples to apples except the cards you pick from are frequently of a sexual or politically incorrect or otherwise horrible nature. Don't play with parents or grandma unless you want to explain what a queef is, for example.

You know, you're right. But I will say that I JUST googled the spelling I used and it's worse than the one in the game. I didn't think that was possible.

I thought it would be fun, but it was just awkward - even with same-aged people. One friend's husband kept picking these things that were even more inappropriate than they should be and making odd comments and even while drinking a lot it just didn't ever get super fun - randomly funny, yes, but not like I wanted to play again. I like apples-to-apples with all adults more.
Don't play with parents or grandma unless you want to explain what a queef is, for example.
One of my fondest memories is going to see The Producers in Chicago with my folks and, at the end with all the lighted signs, my Dad leaning over to my younger sister and stage whispering "What does 'schtup' mean?"
And then watching her horrified struggle of "Do I tell him? Or do I pretend I don't know?" while I shook with silent mirth.
It's hilarious if you have right group of people that you can all be inappropriately goofy with and still come away knowing that they are otherwise decent people. I would not play with my parents or MIL, and when I was part of NSFW Work Board Game group, I did tend to censor myself more than when I'm shooting tequila with close friends at a party.
Also, I love this game, but I *hate* Apples to Apples.
I would never even admit to my parents that I play this game, and I would not admit to my grandparents that I know what it is, but I actually gave it to my ILs for Christmas a few years ago, and we have all played it with DH's grandparents as well. The grandparents were surprisingly good at it, and we all were laughing until we cried.
This is my favorite game. It's hilarious when we play it with our friends, but admittedly, we are all very inappropriate. You definitely need 4 people to make it fun, and the more the better. It's basically like an old-school P&CE offend off, in game form.
It's generally best with people who have a very, very dark sense of humor.
We had to institute a rule that if you actually find a card deeply offensive, just put it in the discard and draw another.
I love the rule that you have to fess up when you don't know what something is. I sadly only end up explaining the nerdy ones like Übermensch and 3/5 Compromise (which sadly like none of 10 adults knew at my friend's party).
I would not play this with my mom. We play dominoes.

You have to play with the right group of people, and have the kind of happy buzz that you can just ride. Too drunk and it gets lame, too sober, and it isn't funny.
We played this with my husband's dad and stepmom. We all had the best time and couldn't stop laughing the entire night. I would never play this with my side of the family.
We were playing this at a party one night, and a friend of a friends super young girlfriend was playing with us and she was so dumb. It actually took all the fun out of playing because she couldn't pronounce words correctly and kept asking what different things meant.

my mom played it w/ her brother and their neighbors over the Christmas holiday ... let's just say that THANK GOD !! I had already left w/ my 92 yo gpa and that my hyperjudgmental, hyperopinionated, hypercritical aunt wasn't there either !
from what she told me .. it was a blast ! very very interesting but nothing earthshattering about her brother lol

Wait what?! Someone - scratch fr hat, multiple people didn't know what the 3/5 compromise was???
I mean, there's no shame in not knowing what pixelated bukkake is. I'm pretty sure I had to google it the first half dozen times I played because I kept forgetting what it was. (Don't ask how one forgets that.) But the 3/5 compromise? Did none of these people take 4th grade social studies?!

Jesus take the wheel.
maybe they didn't know 3/5, but they might have seen "Roots", though.
