Very funny and unique cards

Fun party game

Instructions could be clearer (0 more)

This is a very funny card game to play with friends/family who have a rude/silly sense of humour. You can play with as many people as you wish, and the more people you play with the more funny stories you make up. There are many different cards and different types of card (Action/Person/Object) so you can make a lot of unique combinations to make each other laugh. There are several different game modes you can try and even a drinking game.

I have only played a couple rounds of the normal game mode of this so far where one deck acts as your "base" cards and then you get 5 cards of each of the other decks. With your 10 cards you have to make a story including your base card from the pile you have selected. The base card is your starting point and can be anywhere within the story you create (beginning/middle/end). You can play as little or many cards as you like to make your story (10 Max) and the goal is to make your selected person laugh more than anyone else. Your selected person for that round chooses the winner out of everyone's stories and then they win the base card which acts as a point, and then you replace your used cards with new ones and the next person selected chooses the winner out of the next round. That is just one game mode and there are more that you can try out.

The only cons with this is that the instructions are not the clearest to understand, but once you figure it out and get used to it you can have plenty of fun with this game. And also even though there are decent sized decks to play with, if you have a few people playing you can go through the cards very quickly and then you could get the same cards over and over again, which isn't a problem but I hope the release new expansion packs in the future so you can get some new cards you haven't seen before.

** This is a very fun party game but it can also be offensive, rude and vulgar so it is best played with people of a certain kind of humour who will not get upset at the topics in this game.

Movie Rating

I didn't get a chance to see this in cinema but I bought the DVD for this as soon as it was released as I was really excited for it. It was a very good movie and I really liked it. It was funny and the actors did a great job. I find the plot very interesting and I can't wait to see what happens in part 2. The only thing is I didn't find it very scary, not sure if it's just me, but I found more parts funny than scary in this one. Hopefully the next one is a bit scarier as well as just as good and funny.

Jodie Barker (70 KP) rated Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in Video Games

Nov 19, 2018

I have been playing COD for years and my favourites have always been the black ops games. This one is probably my least favourite of the bunch to be honest. It is still a good game, but I wish that a couple things were different with it. I would have liked a proper campaign story rather than the character playthroughs/backstories etc. Blackout was entertaining for a couple days but I soon got bored of that. I do enjoy the zombies and I like the titanic map the best (Always hoping they'll do another Kino Der Toten on this game too though). I do like multiplayer too and I like that they have bought back some of the old maps such as summit and firing range, also excited for the new nuketown map. Overall it is a good game but not as good as the others

This is first book I have read in the Witcher world as I thought it would be best to start with a short story collection since I have only played the third game. I enjoyed the stories and the monsters and I can't wait to read more within this world. I think that it is an interesting world with brilliant characters

I really enjoy terry pratchetts discworld books, even if they do confuse me a little at times. It is a really funny and magical world with hilarious characters such as death in this book. Always entertaining to read

Book Rating

I thought this book had an interesting plot but I just couldn't get into it and I had to force myself to finish the book. I know a lot of people love this book but I just didn't like the characters, the different POV and it felt like it dragged on too long

Nov 19, 2018

I have always been a huge fan of Harry Potter, I love the world and the magic and the characters. I can't even pick a favourite book/movie. Harry potter is a series you can always come back to and love time and time again

Book Rating

I really did not like this book in the slightest, I hated every second of it. I can't even describe what makes me dislike it so much, it just really didn't sit well with me. I thought the description was different to what the book was about and I got really confused by the end third of the book to be honest. Not what I expected going in to it at all.
