Who would love this: Kids and adults that enjoy card games, especially games with hint of silliness!
You might think you know Go Fish - but wait till you check out Go Bum and its silly cousin, Go Bum: Animals Edition, created by 9-year-old and his dad from Canberra. This laugh-out-loud twist on the classic card game makes you blush, giggle, and impossible to keep a poker face on! Thank you VR Distribution for providing a copy.
Why I love ❤️ it?
(1) 25 Cheekily Named Bum Pairs!
Each set includes 50 cards with 25 delightfully illustrated, cheekily named bum pairs—silly, tasteful, and irresistibly funny. It’s classic Go Fish, with a hilarious twist: your mission is to match the most bums! Shuffle the deck and deal 7 cards each (2-3 players) or 5 each (4-5 players). On your turn, ask another player if they have a bum from your hand—something like, “Do you have a Prickly Bum?” If they do, they hand it over, and you place the pair down. If not, they say, “Go Bum!” and you draw from the pile. Match what you draw? Lay it down! The game ends when all matches are made. And yes, we couldn’t stop giggling while asking things like “Do you have a Stinky Bum?” or “Super Bum?” - it’s impossible to say with a straight face!
(2) 1 Point For Each Bum Pair - Except For Golden Bum
A little twist to keep things cheeky: each bum pair is worth 1 point - except for the prized Golden Bum, which scores you 2! But watch out for the Exploding Bum card. If it lands in your hand - you’ve got to place it in front of you, and it’s worth minus 1 point.
(3) Optional Rules To Shake Things Up
Go Bum is easy to learn in under a minute, but for extra laughs, there’s a set of optional rules that shake things up. Want more challenge and silliness? Try these: make a fart noise for a Tooty Bum match, pretend to scratch your backside for an Itchy Bum, give your best pirate “Arrr!” for Pirate Bum, or bust a move for Disco Bum. Our favourite? The “Rock Hard Bum” in the Animal Edition - score it, then challenge a player to rock-paper-scissors! Win for 2 points, or still get 1 if you lose.
(4) Quirky & Charming Illustrations
The hilarity starts with the illustrations—each bum is as quirky and charming as its name. From Disco Bum’s glowing pink outline with tiny disco ball, to Fairy Bun’s frilly pink cheeks with wings, the designs add instant fun. Fluffy Bum features an adorable kitten behind, while Bouncy Bum belongs to a springy kangaroo!
