Crown Punderdome: A Card Game for Pun Lovers

Played it lots already, great addition to parties and socialising etc! Great concept and puns fly when you get into it.

Oh dear god. English knowledge is mandatory, but this is sooo amazing. This is how I measure now that I do speak English very well. And the groans from others are the best!

This game is pretty straight forward. Everyone sees the same two cards which have two different subjects on and you have to combine both to make a pun. It may be in a statement form, story or joke/punchline form. A judge decides which is best which is isn't even really the point of the game for us. We just like making puns! The games subjects are a little American. Not so much if you know the basics about America like names of some of the states. The game suggests you have 90 seconds to think of your pun but sometimes it is so tricky that it would be fairly impossible to think something up. Sometimes we just wrote down whatever rubbish we had thought of to keep the game going. Also.. Some of the categories you can get are a little too similar to think of anything.. For example Vegetables and Farming. Overall quite funny but would probably be better with as many players on each team as Possible. Sitcoms + Raining = Friends: staring David Swimmer.

Purchased as a gift so can’t comment on gameplay but presentation box looked brill and it came well packaged.

Bought it cause we like punny things. We hoped it would be more a game than a competition of wits, but the game is, essentially, a lot of prompt cards for you, dear consumer, to use your own brain to deal out some punnage. A random word generator could probably do the job. I know I'm totally miserable, the game is beautifully made and is played with occasionally, but it's too much like hard work to for us to really get into.

Fun game!!

Excellent just what I needed

If you're not mad about puns, don't bother. It's a really great concept for a game, but I think you have to be very into your word play to find this fun. We loved it, but I have read a lot of bad reviews.

Hilarious game, so easy to learn, fun to play. Sometimes the worst puns are the funniest! The instructions were extremely helpful. There are hardly any rules at all, some good examples of puns, and a handy, easy to understand description of how to make the different kinds of word plays that are puns. We learned in it minutes and were playing for over an hour. Only my son's bed time stopped us.

Awesome fun.

I brought this on a mission trip to India recently and we spend quite a few nights playing it: we all joking declared that this game, when played correctly, makes you completely hate yourself either for coming up with horrible puns instantly or for learning that you are trying too hard to have a sense of humor. Some of the puns in the pack are truly terrible as well but we nonetheless had a blast playing it. Positives: Portable and easy-to-understand rules. It is also safe and fun to play with anyone from your priest to your drinking buddies: and especially fun with a priest who has been drinking. Negatives: This has been really difficult to play with my friends who are not native English speakers but that is more because of the nature of puns than because of the game itself. If you are playing with anyone who may not be incredibly comfortable with English puns, I strongly suggest increasing the writing time.

Loved on Christmas day

If you're a word nerd like me, this game is great! If not, it can be frustrating (according to my family and friends). I still like it!
