About the game
Ever had those days where everything just goes wrong? Well, Shit Happens turns that chaos into pure fun! If you think life is just a succession of bizarre and unlucky events, get ready to laugh (or cringe) with this game. The premise is absurdly simple and hilarious: you get cards describing completely ridiculous and embarrassing situations—like being attacked by a swarm of bees or catching your father naked in the living room. But it's not just about the chaos; it's about how 'bad' each situation actually is. A panel of experts (fictional, of course!) has rated every event on a scale from 1 to 100. Your challenge? Arrange the cards in an increasing order of disaster. You have to look at that list of crazy events and decide: 'Okay, what's worse: missing the bus or seeing an alien in the bathroom?'. It's a game of pure perception and dark humor that puts your sense of 'bad luck' to the test. With fast-paced gameplay, it's perfect for gathering your friends and having a good laugh while trying to guess the order of chaos the other players have chosen. It's the kind of game that proves that, in the end, the most important thing is laughing at other people's misfortunes!
