About the game
What you do in a play session
Yogi Guru arrives as the wildest expansion to the already chaotic Yogi, adding 60 brand‑new cards that target the lower half of the body and sprinkle in a heap of wild cards. The goal stays the same: follow instructions that demand contortions, balance and occasional silliness while trying not to get eliminated. Green cards (26) give general commands like “touch your knee with your elbow.” Orange cards (11) are placed directly on your body, creating restriction zones you must obey until another card changes them. Blue cards (4) trigger immediate actions whenever drawn, forcing quick reactions. Purple wild cards (19) are the real spice – they let the player on your right finish a mad‑lib‑style sentence, spawning even more unpredictable moments.
Played in teams of 3‑10, the pace is frantic: each round lasts 10‑20 minutes, and player elimination keeps the tension high. Eliminated players leave the game but can still cheer for their teammates. Mixing the original deck with Guru turns the experience into a full‑body romp, where arms, legs and torso become game pieces. With a very light weight (1/5), it’s perfect for beginners, parties and groups after a quick laugh. If you love games that blend physical action, humor and a dash of competition, Yogi Guru will have everyone contorting with laughter.
