ScheiSS drauf!

A different view on going to the Toilet

How do you use the toilet correctly? Yes, exactly like that – you sit down, do your business, clean yourself up and wash your hands – but if you hasten to get rid of your cards quickly, then mistakes can happen.

In this fast card shedding game the 48 cards – featuring topic-related images of a toilet, a pile of poop, a roll of toilet paper and hands under water – are shuffled ad dealt evenly to all players, who stack them face-sown. Then all reveal the top card of their stack and try to place it correctly in the middle – the discard pile begins with a toilet, then comes a pile, then toilet paper, then washing your hands, and then again, a toilet, and so on; when placing a card, you name the image. If you play your last card or think that nobody can play a card anymore, you play the fart cushion. Who now has most cards left, gets a pile on his head. Whoever has most piles on his head after five rounds, is the loser of the game, all others win together.

Well, Zicke Zacke Hühnerkacke has introduced the topic of excrements to games and Kackel Dackel has developed it further, and now we have Scheiß drauf!, albeit leading us to expect something quite different – due to the meaning of the title – than a card shedding game on the topic of how to use a toilet correctly. But that’s what it is, surely a topic that is important for children and this game demonstrates the correct sequence very strikingly and will fix the information in their minds.

Children will surely love the game, especially as there are no consequences for a wrongly placed card. Luckily, the new printing technique that allows use of odors in games has not been used!
