FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Right now, the game is being sold in the USA, Canada, and the UK.
I need the business to grow before it's possible to sell it in other places, because shipping and storage are incredibly expensive.
No – some of my merch uses grown-up word 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.
NOPE! The game's potty humor is really just a way to talk about... us.
The Holiest Crap is a game about people and their behavior, not poop. Poop is an accessible way to talk and joke about the "crap" we do to each other.
For example, 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.
It's not currently on Amazon, but it is in multiple local games stores in Utah like Hastur Games, Game Grid Lehi, and Riftgate Games.
Truthfully, I need your help to make this game a success before any of the big businesses will want to carry it.
Weirdly, there are 2 answers:
1. 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!"
2. Officially, The Holiest Crap is for 14+ because... any game below the age of 14 requires paid legal testing – like, literally burning the card game to see what chemicals come out of it, even though it's made by the same manufacturer as thousands of similar games – 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 required to say it's 14+.
Yes.
And when I say "yes," I mean it's making fun of literally everyone.
I really want to make some! But I first need the game to be successful enough. It costs a lot of time and money, so I need your help to make the game popular before I can pay for new games to be manufactured. And yes, I have lots of ideas for fun new cards to make the game more spicy!
The illustrations were made by me (not A.I.), the creator of the game, Erik Robinson. Every illustration for the game was 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 online. One great idea is to take pictures of the cards, and then when you see crappy behavior online you can share the picture of the card that matches the behavior – it's like sharing a hilarious meme!
