A party card game about combining cards with tasteless jokes on them to make larger tasteless jokes.
The company is also known for viral marketing campaigns, like mail-order poo.
They also have a more elaborate social deduction game called Secret Hitler about politics in Weimar Germany. With cartoon lizards.
- titanix2 10y agoThis game (Secret Hitler) ruined quite of few nights when I was an exchange student: people kept playing it while it was limited to only 10 players IIRC and was an obvious albeit less-fun rip off of the game "Les Loups-garous de Thiercelieux"[1].

- ajkjk 10y agoThat sounds like it is itself a ripoff of the game Mafia [1] which is ubiquitous in the US. Unless it came first, I guess. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)
- chris_7 10y agoIf Secret Hitler is a ripoff of anything, it's Avalon, which is similar to Mafia/Werewolf, but is much deeper and lacks the issue of player elimination.
- Pxtl 10y agoI'd say it draws more from The Resistance/Avalon Resistance than Werewolf, since it focuses on voting and scoring points more than killing players and eliminating them from the game.
