About the game

What is Kampf gegen das Spiessertum?

"A party game for horrible German people" Play begins with a judge, known as the "Round Boss", choosing a red fill-in-the-blank card from the top of the deck and showing it to all players. Each player holds a hand of eight white answer cards at the beginning of each round, and passes a card (sometimes more) to the round boss, face-down, representing their answer to the question on the card. The round boss determines which answer card(s) are funniest in the context of the fill-in-the-blank card. The player who submitted the chosen card(s) is given the question card to represent a point, and then the player to the left of the Round Boss becomes the new Boss for the next round. Play continues until the players agree to stop, or until they are thrown out of the pub, at which point the player with the most Points is the winner. Kampf gegen das Spießertum is the German adaption of Kampf gegen das Bünzlitum, a Swiss party game by Angela Vögtli and is a hommage to the popular Cards against Humanity. It features all new cards with German celebrities, places and topics of interest. —description from the publisher
