Black cards are written fresh for every game, on any theme you type, from your office party to your book club. White cards come from a hand-picked deck, so the jokes stay sharp.
Read the full rules guideEach round has a black card with a blank, like “Nothing ruins a party faster than _____.” One player, the Judge, decides this round.
Everyone else picks a white card from their private hand of 7. Pick 2 cards need two answers, in order.
Answers show up anonymously. The Judge picks the funniest one, and whoever played it scores a point.
The Judge changes every round. Play 5, 8 or 12 rounds, or first to 5 points. Swap your whole hand once per game.
Play on one sofa or over a video call. Every hand stays private on its own device, and the Room keeps the black card, the answers and the scores in sync.
Choose Family, Party or Spicy 17+, the number of rounds, timers and AI players. Friends join with a code or a link, no account needed.
Your first hosted match is free. Friends always join free.
