We Didn't Playtest This Games

For this review, I will only be reviewing the original came "We Didn't Playtest This At All - With Chaos Pack" by Asmadi Games because the other three expansion games are essentially the same game, with even more fun and chaos!

"We Didn't Playtest This At All" (WDPTAL) is an extremely silly, funny, and even frustrating game! The purpose of WDPTAL is simple: win. And how do you do that? By not losing of course! Each player starts with two cards and, on your turn, you draw a card then play a card. That's it. If you're still wondering what I mean is...you win by staying in the game till everyone else loses. The rules are simple and a game can last as fast as 1 minute or 10 minutes.

Let's take a closer look into the cards.

Some cards force players to remember not say something, like the "You" card. Once played, any player who says 'you', 'your', or 'yours' immediately loses.  You'd think that would be easy but I've lost to that card seconds after it was played without even realizing it.  Same with the pointing card.  Any player pointing at another player immediately loses. It's not that hard when you can still use words.  But as more cards are played and you are limited to the words you cannot say, not being able to point becomes a real challenge.

Then there are other cards that give you a choice to eliminate players based on your decisions.  For instance, the "Dragon" card.  You can place the card in front of any player you want, and by the next turn, if the card is still in front of them, they lose!

This is ridiculously fun game with four or more people. We found that having less than four players is not as fun, but still doable.  The game is great for travel because it's just a small box of cards.  The expansion set provides more variety to this game once you've gotten bored of the original game! And, as a perk, this is an extremely fun game to play when everyone's been drinking... BUT when sober, it is a great family game to play with kids! We've played it with a group of elementary schooled children (our cousin's offsprings) and had a grand time!  But it did get a little crazy... this is the type of game that you can play with a big group a couple of times before you move on to more complex games.  It's a great opening game for family game night!
