Shit Happens - @GamesAdultsPlay Review and Giveaway (18+)

An exciting new line of adult party games released this August at Gen Con 2018.  Games Adults Play is a collection of hilarious party games aimed at players 18+.  There are several games available, with Shit Happens being one of them.

For most of us there's a point in life (or several points) when "shit happens".  Depending on the severity of the circumstances, we roll with the punches or freak out.  May as well make a game of it by playing the Shit Happens card game!

Shit Happens is a card game for two or more people, and includes 200 Shit Happens situation cards.  Due to its content, this game is rated for ages 18 and up.  The object is to be the best at ranking shitty events from the least worst to the absolute worst.  This game is a way to lighten the mood and have a fun time with good friends.  It's not overly strategic or challenging, but it is fun!

Play starts with each player getting three cards each.  The remaining cards form a draw pile. Players then place their cards face up on the table in front of them, ranked by the numerical order of the Misery Index.  When it's your turn, you have to draw a card from the draw pile and read the shitty situation but not reveal the misery index number.  The person to your right has to determine that card's proper place among the three cards you have laid down.  If you guess correctly, you win the card and it remains face up with your other cards.  If you guess incorrectly, the player to the left can take that card by guessing.  Play continues clockwise until someone guesses correctly and wins the card.  The game becomes a tad bit harder each time correct guesses are made and more cards are added.  The first player to accumulate 10 Shit Happens Situation cards wins the game.

Each situation on a card is rated with a Misery Index Number.  Interestingly enough, those ratings were determined by a panel of people with actual psychiatric experience.  In other words, they know their shit!  Factors for the rating include anxiety level, emotional trauma, and long-term psychological damage.

Some of the situations on the cards are fairly minor while others are more extreme.  Some examples are: bleach in eye (47.5 Misery Rating), lose your laptop (47 Misery Rating), struck by lightning (93 Misery Rating), and gored by a bull (90.5 Misery Rating).

Win It!

One person will win a Shit Happens card game.
