## Description
Joking Hazard is the card‑game incarnation of the chaotic Cyanide & Happiness strips. Each card is a single panel, and players compete to assemble a three‑panel comic that ends with the funniest (or most shocking) punchline. At the start, everyone draws seven cards; the first panel is already on the table and a player is appointed as the Judge to pick the second one. Then all players simultaneously select a card from their hand to complete the story. The Judge reveals the options, evaluates the combos, and crowns the winner, who scores a point. The deck holds 350 unique illustrations, yielding over 15 million possible comics, so no two games feel the same. It supports 3‑10 players, lasts 30‑90 minutes, and needs minimal setup, though a solid grasp of English (or a translation) is helpful to catch the jokes. As a party‑style game it values laughs and creativity over deep strategy, though hand management matters to avoid squandering good cards. The adult‑oriented humor and simple yet expressive art make it a perfect fit for groups that enjoy dark jokes and aren’t shy about mature content. If your crew loves improvising stories and laughing at absurd situations, this game will deliver plenty of memorable moments.
