🐻 An Aileron Games Party Card Game
The card game you win by losing the least
A topic flips. Ten seconds to land a pun. Choke, and the card is your shame. Like golf — fewest cards wins.
How to Play
Sit in a circle. Draw a topic. Fire off a pun before the clock runs out — while your opponents count you down.
You get 10 seconds to come up with a pun on the drawn topic. No pun, no dice.
The opposing player (or players) counts down out loud. The pressure is the point.
Fail to land a pun or complete the mode’s objective, and you must accept the card as your shame.
A true pun is the misuse of a specific word in an improper context. Scoring is like golf — the more cards (points) you collect, the worse you’re doing. The player with the fewest cards wins. The one buried in shame loses.
Try a Round
Deal a topic, beat the 10-second clock — say your pun out loud. Landed it? Great. Blanked? Take the card.
Scoring’s like golf — fewest cards wins. Keep that shame count low.
The Deck
Every card is a fresh minefield — from Fruit (easy) to Transportation (good luck). Draw one, beat the clock, or wear the shame.
Game Modes
Same deck, wildly different games. Pick your poison and play until someone can’t bear it.
The classic. Everyone for themselves, circle style. Fewest cards at the end wins.
Miss a pun and you’re out — if you’re vegetarian and make a missed-steak, you’re pout. Last punster standing wins.
Two players, one topic, rapid-fire volleys back and forth until somebody blanks.
Just add alcohol. The countdown feels shorter and the puns get… braver. Play responsibly.
Squad up. Tag in your wordsmith when the topic favors them. Shame is shared.
Two minutes to spit as many puns as you can on one topic — run dry and you take the card.
