About the game
What you do in a play session
Recess is over, and now the fight is for something more valuable: Beer Money! This 110-card sequel to the frenetic Lunch Money arrives ready for those who enjoy a fast-paced, action-packed game. Beer Money works as a standalone game, but those who like to mix things up can combine it with a Lunch Money or Lunch Money: Sticks and Stones deck to accommodate up to 8 players in a free-for-all brawl. Like its predecessor, Beer Money unites striking illustrations with the raw dynamics of a merciless street fight. However, things get more intense here with weapons like the classic Beer Bottle, basic attacks such as 'Knuckle Sammitch', defenses like 'Suck It Up', and special cards that add to the chaos, like 'Pound of Flesh' and 'Pile Driver'. Prepare yourself, because the pain and fun don't stop when you enter the ring with Beer Money! It's the kind of game that makes you laugh and curse in the same round, perfect for warming up the night or for those moments when you want something light but with that touch of strategic chaos. If you enjoyed Lunch Money, you'll love this souped-up version. It's the type of game that doesn't take long to learn but provides plenty of laughs and memorable moments among friends.
