-In a nutshell- Not for the easily-offended, Poopsock! Is a simple satirical card game in which a group of MMORPG addicts are playing their newest game of choice tirelessly to be the first to Maximum Level. Every round represents a night in which the players play the game and otherwise hassle each other to gain the most Levels. Whoever gets to the predetermined goal Level (typically between 50-70 to start) is the winner and may gloat until physically assaulted.
Poopsock! focuses on humor, while presenting a somewhat abstract resource management game which is great to play with friends. You can combine more than one set to accomodate more than 5 players and expansions are on the way soon. If you or anyone you know has ever played World of Warcraft, EverQuest, Final Fantasy Online, or any other MMORPG, then Poopsock! is going to be a hit with your group!
[Even though the game is probably best enjoyed by an 18+ audience, Poopsock! is rated 12+ for lack of a PG-13 rating that it would be given if it were a movie, due to its tame potty-humor and use of (gasp) internet slang. If your kid is old enough to get these jokes, they're probably old enough to play this, but please use parental discretion.]
