About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that classic cartoon moment where someone gets a pie in the face and everyone bursts into laughter? Well, Pie Face brings that exact chaotic energy to your tabletop! This game is a true rollercoaster of tension and giggles, perfect for those who don't want to waste time with complex rules and just want to see the chaos unfold—or rather, see the pie fly!
The mechanics are delightfully simple. The heart of the game is a mechanical device that holds a sponge, which you cover with plenty of shaving cream to simulate the pie. On your turn, you position your face right there in the danger zone and spin the spinner. The secret lies in the number you land on: you must twist the handle exactly that many times. It's just like playing a slot machine fueled by pure luck and desperation! You never know if the next turn will earn you points or if it will be the final blow that sends a cloud of foam straight onto your nose.
If you manage to survive the twists without getting hit, you score points based on the number you spun at the start. But, if luck isn't on your side, get ready for the most hilarious humiliation of your life. It's a game of pure luck and suspense, where strategy is practically non-existent, but the fun is guaranteed. It's the kind of game you pull off the shelf at a party or family gathering and, within five minutes, everyone is screaming and laughing out loud. Get the shaving cream ready, protect your face, and good luck, because the pie is coming!
