Description

Epic Picnic is a fast and crazy card game inspired by a verbal memory game from childhood, corrupted with humor from adult life (ages 17+!). You might bring figgy pudding on a picnic, fashion a makeshift weapon out of Peter Piper's pickled pecker, or inherit a Nicaraguan death squad from your grandfather. Best of all, it's super easy to pick up and play! Players reveal cards from a common deck to represent the ridiculous and terrible things they are bringing on the picnic (or one of 9 other scenarios) while at the same time trying to stay focused and remember what everyone else is bringing in order. Miss just one card and you're out of the game in this last-man-standing, brain-hemorrhaging face-off! The rules also contain several variations and plus an alternate method of play -- Picnic Frenzy -- where players recite just one card per turn, making for much faster gameplay. Played in rounds and featuring 5 second turns, it is perhaps even more challenging than the original!
