Poo The Card Game

A fun elimination style game wherein you all act like monkeys flinging different types of poo at each other until essentially you die. You can be brought back to game play one time using the Golden Banana card. The game play can get somewhat confusing as to whose turn it is when some of the cards can go into effect. (Eg, one card throws poo at every single player, each player can counter if they're able to. So essentially after everyone gets hit or counters, you continue back to whoever's turn it was originally....requires a lot of keeping track)This game also requires damage counters that are not included. You can only be hit so many times before you die and you need to keep track somehow.

Poo is a fun, light card game in which the goal is to eliminate the other players at the table by flinging your "poo" at them. The deck of cards is made up of attack cards, defense cards, clean-up cards, and event cards. Each round, players take turns flinging poo at each other (The game doesn't come with any actual "poo" pieces of any sort so we use poker chips to make things easier. You can use whatever you would like to represent the poo - pennies, checkers, M&Ms - whatever.) or cleaning poo off of themselves. When a player gets too much poo on themselves, they are eliminated. Play continues for as long as it takes to eliminate all players but one, so the length of the game is largely dependent on how many players are playing the game. (I generally play with five or six players and the games usually last 20-25 minutes, so I would consider this a short, filler-type game.)The name and theme of this game generally appeals to most people and I have never played a bad game of this. The price point on this game is just right for what you get, and I would recommend purchasing this game while it is still available.

This game is fun and silly, and doesn't require a big time commitment to learn or play. It's a good party game along the same lines as  Fluxx  (although maybe with not quite the replayability factor), which can be enjoyed by kids, adults, or both together. It doesn't take a lot of space or prep to play, so it works as a 'kill a little time' game if you're waiting for something. I didn't have the urge to play it round after round like I do some card games, but it wasn't boring and the game mechanics were simple but not overly predictable. It would work for a family game night, as it's neither 100% luck-based nor requiring complex strategy, so anyone would have a chance of winning.While some people probably won't care for the 'poo humor', it is mild, young-child friendly and doesn't go for the gross-out, with no actual pictures of poo-covered monkies or anything like that. Instead you see the humorously horrified expressions on the faces of various cartoon monkies as they presumably see a turd coming right at them.You will need 'counters' for scoring and the game does not include them, so get yourself some glass 'half gems' like  Emerald Glass Gaming Stones 20ct  or just make sure you have about 15 pennies, buttons, pieces of hard candy, whatever, per person.

I can only rate this game as average. I'm sure some of you out there and considering this because "Tee hee, monkeys flinging poopy. Should be HILARIOUS." Thing is, it gets old REALLY fast. I'm not going to lie, this is unabashedly a kid's game. Children will enjoy it. Adults however, will find that when you scratch below the surface, all you'll find is a very basic game of trading blows, and, as such, may get annoyed at it over time. Also, for a game called "Poo", there isn't a trace of it to be found at all in the game's artwork. Disappointing.

Who can resist a came called "Poo"? Played it with my sons and their college buddies. They loved it - lots of laughing.Watch out for new slang expressions being used by your kids. After two games I heard my son light-heartedly threatening one of his friends with a "Mighty Joe" (play the game - you will find out)You do need some counters to keep track of the poo count. Someone suggested using Jelly Bellies. We tried that, but I suspect that some of the more disreputable players were cheating by eating the poo counters (I know, I know - bad imagery). Maybe better to use something inedible.......... like buttons maybe (but not the Cadbury's Dairy Milk type)The rules are simple to learn, and there is some strategy involved - keep that Poo count low!!. The game is a hit, and will definitely be played again

Purchased for my grandchildren as a quick after dinner game and I didn't realized how much fun they would have playing it with their mom, too. The game is an instant stress reliever. They use raisins or chocolate chips or nuts for the "poo" and fling away. The kids sometimes gang up on their mom who manages to get them back. My son-in-law went out to the store, came back and found them playing this game. He hadn't seen it before and was trying to figure out what was going on. I got a phone call from him and all I heard in the background were shrieks of laughter. He gave me some thanks for teaching the kids to play with "poo". The grandchildren are 10 and 13. Great game.

Oh, man. This was great! Gave it to my FIL as a simpler card game for us to add to game night. We play dominoes a lot, and while I love playing it, I thought it might be fun to change it up.Besides being tickled we "bought him Poo," he enjoyed the gameplay and clever cards. We all enjoyed ourselves, from age 12-60. It's a game of sometimes revenge, sometimes indiscriminate poo flinging. We didn't find any lulls in the gameplay and didn't get caught up on the rules between the card types after the first game.I recommend this for people that don't mind a bit of potty humor and may be a bit rambunctious. The rules aren't very difficult to understand and can be learned through gameplay. We thought chocolate kisses or stars made the best game pieces, for their obvious good looks.

Yes, it's over-priced. Yes, there are no tokens. Yes, it's brilliant, brain-dead, scatalogical fun for those in touch with their inner 8 year-old. It is easy to pick up how it works, fast to play, and ridiculous, silly fun ! Stuff all the po-faced, three hours to play, rule-book-the-size-of-a-Dickens-novel games !

Very simple and funny card game that everyone in the family can play and have fun with. Very good!Only negative is that I wish it had come with some counters / tokens to highlight how much 'poo' each player has at any one time. We had to improvise by ripping up bits of paper, but unfortunately as these don't fit back into the box it is hard to store, and doesn't look very good on game day (as you are having to pass around bits of ripped paper instead of proper printed materials).Other than that though, it's a great game :)

This was recommended by a friend for my partner. It took a while for us to fully understand the cards but once we did we really enjoyed it and the kids loved it!

Fun filler game for up to 8 people. The game is combative so if you don't like aggressive player v player games it might not be for you. However games don't last very long (10-15 minutes) so if you are knocked out early you don't have long to wait for another game.

This game is clever and fun for the whole family. Anyone who doesn't mind a good poop joke.The cards have detailed instructions on them, so younger children will need help playing.
