A funny card game that lets you know from the start that you can play if you’re drunk or stupid – but not both! – GFY is definitely an interesting play.

Your only goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand, but can you do it before getting f**ked over by the other players? Let’s check it out!

What Is It?

GFY is a silly card game with some funny card names, simple art, and cute colors. I’d probably categorize it as a quick filler, or an easily replayable game if you’re just looking to be silly for a little bit.

Who Is It For?

I’d recommend this to adults mostly, 17 to 18 and older. I think it may be most enjoyed by college kids; if you play a lot of Cards Against Humanity, you may also like this!

Quality of Components

The cards are sturdy enough, not super cheap or anything, and they come in a normal card box; nothing special, but nothing that’s going to just fall apart on you. The cards also have some cute art on them, simple, but it fits the feel of the game well, and utilizes a rainbow color scheme which I adore!

PROS

  • Easy and quick to learn, teach, and play; good for non-gamers
  • Light game that’s good to play between other maybe longer games.
  • The colors are so aesthetically pleasing, and I also have no complaints about the awesome middle finger on the back of each card!
  • Easy to take anywhere!

CONS

  • Some cards seem to hurt you (i.e. draw 3 cards) instead of your opponents, but it may depend on the cards you draw with it – it may be fine to draw cards on one turn if in the future you can then trade hands with a player with very few cards.
  • Though kind of cute, the names of the cards don’t seem to correlate with what the card ability is, so it just seems a little nonsense, but since the main focus is what the cards do rather than the title, it’s not a huge deal.

Difficulty

I tried both difficulty “modes” as it were – tried it drunk, as well as stupid, but not together! – haha, but regardless, I’d only give it a difficulty rating of 1/5. You draw a card, and play a card as long as you can do the action exactly as it states it. It’s similar to UNO in that you’re trying to get rid of your hand, there just also happens to be some funny profanity on the cards instead of just numbers! Pretty darn easy, and anyone can figure it out.

Final Thoughts

Like I said, I would totally recommend it to college kids, and probably anyone who likes CAH, because I think they would find the cards themselves, and the game overall pretty entertaining! It’s not a game I’d play with my group too often, but I’m sure I’ll be able to pull it out every now and again between heavier games as well.

It’s not terribly expensive either, so if you can pick yourself up a copy, I think it’s worth giving a try if anything here sounded interesting to you!

Happy Gaming~
