About the game
What you do in a play session
You know that one friend in the group who everyone loves to tease? Well, Shitty Friends is the perfect way to point that finger and laugh about it! The premise is as simple as it is dangerous: it's a test of honesty (or lack thereof) among your closest pals. The gameplay is lightning-fast: one player draws a card featuring a spicy question or a biting statement about someone's character. On the count of three, everyone points to the person they think fits the description best. The person with the most votes takes the card. The goal? Be the first to collect 5 cards to be officially crowned the 'Shitty Friend' of the group. It's a game of instinct and speed, leaving no room for deep tactical thinking—just pointing and laughing. Supporting up to 22 players, it is the ultimate king of parties, bars, and gatherings where everyone is comfortable enough to roast each other. The game even includes a 'spicy' expansion, so be prepared for the controversy levels to spike! If you're looking for heavy strategy or complex components, look elsewhere. But if you want social chaos, non-stop laughs, and maybe a little bit of awkward tension, this is your game. It's quick, it's blunt, and it has zero filter!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
How long does a game last?
Super quick! Usually between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the group size.
What is the player count?
You can play with 3 up to 22 players. It's one of the few that scales so well for huge parties!
Is it hard to learn?
Not at all. Just read the card, count to three, and point. It's almost impossible to get the rules wrong.
What is the recommended age?
Since the theme is adult and questions can be heavy, it's best for ages 16 or 18+.
What's inside the box?
Question cards, a rulebook, a crown for the winner, and an included expansion.
Is it good for strangers?
I wouldn't recommend it! The game works best with friends who already have the intimacy to roast each other.
