In brief
Crappy Birthday is a humorous game about pranking your friends with gifts they don’t want.
How to Play Deal 5 Gift Cards to each player.
1) When it is your turn, it is your birthday! Everybody gives you a crappy "gift" from their hand. 2) You shuffle the cards, turn them over one by one, and pick the gift you dislike the most. 3) The player who gave you that gift gets a point. 4) Draw back up to 5 Gift Cards. Play moves to the left.
The first player to 3 points wins.
When to Play Crappy Birthday is designed to be taken as a gift to a party instead of a bottle of wine or a 6-pack of beer. The goal of Crappy Birthday is to get people talking, laughing, and having a good time as quickly as possible. Don't be surprised if some people dislike the same gift that other people at the table love, because the gifts were designed to start fun and interesting conversations. Crappy Birthday is simple enough that a group of non-gamers can read the rules and start playing within a few minutes. Or if people do not want to play at the party, they can have fun by simply looking at the cards and laughing at the pictures and funny concepts.
So the next time you are going to a party with non-gamers, consider bringing Crappy Birthday as a gift.
