About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a wild ride through life in Funny Friends! Here, each player takes on the role of a teenager who will shape their destiny with cards. Want to repeat a school year? Start smoking? Join a Bible study group or have your first experiences at Oktoberfest? Anything is possible, and the choices you make have very realistic consequences. Smoking too much makes you thin, eating too much forces you to stop drinking, and drinking too much robs you of wisdom – who knew adult life would be so complex, right? Besides managing your own path, you'll interact with other players' friends. What happens to you can affect your friends, for better or worse, adding a layer of social interaction that's a highlight of the game. It's a life simulation with a touch of dark humor and auction and hand management mechanics to decide who gets what. If you enjoy games that make you think about life choices (and laugh at them), Funny Friends is a must-play!
