Quick answer
POOP: The Game is a 15-minute party card game for 2-10 players ages 6 and up. The goal is to be the first to run out of cards by playing poop cards and avoiding clogs.
Why POOP works for both kids and adults
The game was created by kids and adults together, which explains its dual appeal. Kids enjoy the silly designs and the freedom to make poop jokes. Adults get to act like kids again through cards that require performing crazy acts. This blend makes it a hit at family gatherings or casual parties.
What to know before your first game
POOP supports 2 to 10 players, so it scales easily from a small family to a larger group. The 15-minute play time means you can fit multiple rounds into a game night. The recommended age is 6+, making it accessible for younger players who can read basic card text.
How to play POOP: The Game step by step
- Set up the deck: Shuffle all cards and deal an equal number to each player. Place the remaining deck face-down in the center as a draw pile. Common mistake: dealing uneven hands. Count cards so each player starts with the same number.
- Start the round: The youngest player goes first. On your turn, play one card from your hand face-up in the center. Most cards are 'poop' cards that add to the pile. Checkpoint: if you play a poop card, you must say 'poop' aloud. Forgetting means you draw a penalty card.
- Handle action cards: Some cards have special instructions like 'skip a turn' or 'make everyone do a crazy act.' Follow the text exactly. These cards keep the game unpredictable. Common mistake: ignoring action card text. Read each card aloud to avoid confusion.
- Avoid clogging the toilet: If the center pile reaches a certain height (the 'clog' limit, usually 5 cards), the player who added the last card must draw two penalty cards. The pile is then cleared. Checkpoint: count the pile after each turn. If you see 4 cards, think twice before playing a poop card.
- Win the game: The first player to run out of cards wins the round. You can play multiple rounds and tally wins for a longer session. Common mistake: forgetting to announce when your hand is empty. Call out 'POOP!' immediately to claim victory.
