No – some of my merch uses grown-up words for "crap," but you will never see that word in the card game because I've always wanted this game to be played by families and kids. People have compared it to some Pixar movies, where there are some jokes that only adults will understand and kids will laugh because of the poop. I've consciously avoided crossing lines into blatant "adult" territory. That said, some people are destined to think I went too far, which I'm ok with.

Officially, The Holiest Crap is for 14+ because... games below the age of 14 require paid legal testing before they can be sold. And for little indie game developers like me, that's just another extra cost to worry about. So the product itself is 14+.

But the professional game reviewer @woosung.boardgames personally believes kids aged 10+ will be able to comfortably play it, and said The Holiest Crap "is sure to be a hit at game nights!"

Actually, no. The game's potty humor is really just a way to talk about... us.

The Holiest Crap is a game about people, not poop, and almost every joke is about crappy human behavior. The character Li’l Wipey, who is an angry toilet paper roll, represents the unfortunate people who are used and abused to clean up other people’s messes. It’s relatable and funny because you know you’ve been that person. The title of The Holiest Crap gives an appropriate name to people who are self-righteous or people who think they’re better than you.

Not currently. I'm a tiny startup business, and it's very expensive to sell products on Amazon where they take a big chunk of the sale. I'd like to eventually be on store shelves also, but if my game isn't successful on its own, most stores will refuse to put my game on their shelves. Truthfully, I need your help to make this game a success before any of the big businesses will care.

The game is for 3-5 players.

On average, 30-60 minutes. If it's your very first time, you can expect anywhere between 45 minutes and 90 minutes. People who regularly play games usually learn it more quickly. When I taught the game to 4 game nerds at a local game night (it was the first time playing for all of them), it took a total of 40 minutes to explain the rules and play a full game.

Yes.

And when I say "yes," I mean it's making fun of literally everyone.

I eventually hope to do that, yes. If the game is successful enough to show me that people are interested in more, then I will plan on it. I've got multiple ideas for fun new cards to make the game even more spicy!

The illustrations were made by me (not A.I.), the creator of the game, Erik Robinson. Every illustration for the game has been made in Adobe Illustrator except for one, which was made in Adobe Photoshop.

The best thing you can do is buy the game, play it with friends, and share the crap out of it however you can. Since I'm a one-person business working in another full-time office job, I frankly can't afford a lot of time posting on social media myself right now. Your help in spreading the word is greatly appreciated, and could eventually help me turn this hilarious brand into my only full-time job.
