About the game

What is Quelf?

Quelf is the unpredictable party game that gives Random a new name! Whether you're answering hilarious trivia, performing ridiculous stunts, or obeying silly rules, Quelf will inspire you to use your creativity, wit and sense of humor in ways you've never imagined. As you move around the game board, as one of eight quirky characters, crazy things start to happen. Your friends start talking strangely. Your mom's face is wrapped in toilet paper. Your dad is acting like Dracula. And you are reciting a poem about your armpits. Cards: Stuntz - balancing acts, costume creations, daredevil moves, weird contraptions Showbiz - mime, sing, tapdance, draw, do impressions, write poetry Quizzle - mind-twisting trivia, nutty riddles, brain teasers Rulez - rules you must follow: snort like a pig when you laugh, say everything twice, roll the dice with your elbows Scatterbrainz - choose one of two topics and everyone gives answers until no one can think of a valid one ("Ways to get your leg out of a spring-loaded, steel bear trap" or "Brands of Lipstick") Characters: The Platypus Mr. Lugnut Super Ninja Monkey The Dude The Biscuit Farmer Queen Spatula Batbileg Chinzorig Mrs. Pickle Feather
