Quick answer
POOP: Kawaii Edition is a 15-minute family card game for 2-5 players ages 6 and up. Players take turns playing cards to avoid clogging the toilet, with silly actions that keep everyone laughing.
What makes Kawaii Edition different
This version uses Japanese and English text on every card, so players can pick up a few Japanese words while playing. The kawaii art style makes the poop theme cute rather than gross, which is why the age rating starts at 6 instead of older.
How to play POOP: Kawaii Edition
- Setup: Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down in the center as a draw pile. Leave space next to the draw pile for a discard pile. Make sure everyone has exactly 5 cards before starting – missing cards can confuse the first round.
- Turn structure: On your turn, play one card from your hand face up onto the discard pile. If you cannot play a card, you must draw one from the draw pile. Some cards have special actions that make other players perform silly acts. If you draw a card you still cannot play, your turn ends – you do not keep drawing until you can play.
- Special cards and actions: When you play a card with a special action icon, follow the instruction immediately. Actions may include making another player sing, dance, or hold their nose. After the action resolves, the next player takes their turn. Read the action aloud so everyone knows what to do – skipping the action breaks the game flow.
- Clogging the toilet: If the discard pile reaches a certain number of cards (check the specific card that triggers the clog), the player who played the last card must perform a penalty action or draw extra cards. The exact clog rule is printed on the game's reference card. Pay attention to how many cards are in the discard pile – losing track is the most common mistake.
- Winning the game: The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round. If the draw pile runs out before anyone wins, shuffle the discard pile (except the top card) to form a new draw pile and continue playing. If you run out of cards in the draw pile, reshuffle promptly – stalling can make younger players lose focus.
