You've Got to Be Sh*tting Me is Go Fish for people who should know better. You ask a mate for the card you need. They can hand it over, or look you dead in the eye and lie.
Catch a liar and you take the pair. Accuse an innocent and you drink. Nobody can be trusted, especially the person who says they'd never.
Find pairs. Tell lies. Drink.
Get the game.

Five cards each. The rest go face down in the middle. Then you start asking for things you'd never say out loud sober.
-
Ask for a card.
Pick a player and name one exact card that would pair with one in your hand. "Got Toilet Seat Pubes?"
-
They hand it over, or they don't.
If they've got it and give it up, you keep the pair and they drink one. If they say they don't have it, that might be true. It might not.
-
Fold or Double Down.
Fold: take their word for it. Drink one, draw one, move on.
Double Down: make them show. If they lied, they drink two and hand over the card. If they were honest, you drink two and draw. -
Empty the pile.
When the draw pile's gone, most pairs wins. Unless your hidden role says otherwise.
You may only lie when denying you hold a card. Once someone Doubles Down, the truth comes out.
The cards.
Twenty-five of them, short, specific and deeply upsetting. The colour tells you which kind of upsetting.
- Poo, toilets and anal disasters
- Sex, genitals and sexual mishaps
- Piss, puke, snot and other fluids
Hidden roles.
Deal one face down to each player. Keep it secret until the moment it ruins someone's night.
Hover or tap a card to reveal it.
-
Peeping Tom
Once per game, sneak a peek at another player's cards.
-
The Pisshead
Anyone who wrongly Doubles Down on you drinks four fingers.
-
Minesweeper
You only drink half penalties, but need two extra pairs to win.
-
Bad Influence
If you're correctly accused, everyone drinks with you.
-
Shit Stirrer
Once per game, rotate everyone's hand to the left.
-
The Hustler
Before an accusation resolves, call it. Right? Hand out drinks. Wrong? You drink.
-
The Flasher
Flash your cards. Every pair you collect afterwards is worth double.
-
Party Starter
Whenever you choose, everyone finishes what's left in their cup.

We'll email you when it launches and roughly never otherwise. No sharing, no spam.
Your sh*tty questions.
Where can I buy it?
Nowhere yet. The cards are done and play-tested; the box and the instruction booklet are being finished. Leave your email above and you'll hear the second it's ready.
How many people do I need?
Three to eight is the sweet spot. Two works, but at that point you're just lying to one person's face, which is more of a relationship than a game.
How long does a game take?
Fifteen to thirty minutes. Longer if someone keeps Doubling Down on everything, and someone always does.
Do I actually have to drink?
No. Every penalty is "drink one" or "drink two" — swap it for sips of water, points, press-ups, or a forfeit of your choosing. The lying is the game. The drinking is a lifestyle choice.
When am I allowed to lie?
Only when someone asks you for a card and you deny having it. That's it. As soon as they Double Down you have to show the truth. Everything else at the table is, technically, honest.
What are hidden roles?
Eight secret cards dealt one per player at the start. Each gives you a one-off power, a different penalty, or a different way to win. Keep yours secret until you use it. Peeping Tom, The Pisshead, Minesweeper, Bad Influence, Shit Stirrer, The Hustler, The Flasher and Party Starter are all in the box.
Is it really 18+?
Yes. There's a whole category about genitals and another about poo, plus drinking rules. Don't buy it for your nan. Or do, but we warned you.
Is it as gross as it looks?
Grosser. The cards you can see on this page are some of the tamer ones. Warning: may induce gagging.
I've got a card idea.
Brilliant. The worse the better. Send it through the email box above with "card idea" in it and we'll read it, wince, and possibly print it.
I'm offended by your game.
The name is You've Got to Be Sh*tting Me. What did you think was going to be in the box?
