About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a clash of titans... or rather, grandmas! In Bad Grandmas, the retirement home turns into a wrestling ring where the Gang of Knitters and the Gang of Bakers face off in epic battles. Don't be fooled, these little old ladies are the real villains around here! This irreverent trick-taking card game is pure fun for two players. Anticipation and strategy are crucial, as each trick won sets the conditions for the next. Think carefully about your moves, because with each duel you can collect more cookies and secure victory. It's a quick print & play game with simple rules but requires thinking twice. Perfect for those who enjoy a fierce competition with a touch of humor and an unusual theme. Pick up your knitting needles and get ready to fight!
