In the realm of party games, where honesty and morals are often traded for a chance at victory, there exists a game that pushes the boundaries of what’s socially acceptable for the sake of entertainment. Too Far is a card game that’s not just a test of your moral compass, but also a wild ride through the twisted humour of the Sidemen, a British collective consisting of internet personalities such as KSI and Miniminter, known for their outrageous challenges and pranks on YouTube.
Too Far is a confessions game that’s more twisted than a pretzel in a tornado! A party game for 2-8 players, age 16+ where you reveal your honest opinions, or not as one person will be lying, about some very bizarre confessions. It has a playing time from 20-60 minutes. To win, just catch the liar. A fantastically funny game of morally ambiguous confessions and plenty of discussions, arguments and judgement! But be warned, this isn’t your grandma’s board game. Oh no, this is the kind of game that could make a nun blush and a sailor giggle with glee.
In the box:
- 92 Messed Up Confessions Cards
- 8 Judgement Cards
- Score Pad
- Instructions
Too Far is a game from YouTubers Sidemen, and is like Truth or Dare on steroids, but does it go “Too Far”. It is a game of bizarre confessions, ridiculous arguments and is absolutely hilarious. A fantastic party that is an excellent icebreaker and fantastic fun.
The game has been designed to push boundaries, to see how far you’ll go before you say, “That’s too far!” It’s like a social experiment wrapped in a party game, sprinkled with a dash of chaos. It’s the perfect icebreaker for those who think they’ve seen it all, the ultimate test of your poker face, and a surefire way to learn things about your friends that you can never unlearn.
Too Far is not for the faint of heart or children. It’s the kind of game that will have you questioning your morals, your friendships, and your capacity for shame. But if you’re the adventurous type who loves a good laugh and doesn’t mind dancing on the edge of propriety, then Too Far might just be your new favourite pastime.
A quick game to learn and very easy to play.
To play, gather your most open-minded friends, leave your inhibitions at the door, and get ready for a night of jaw-dropping revelations and side-splitting laughter. Place as many of the Judgement Cards as there are players (if playing with 6 players, take 6 cards) and put them in a pile face down – the pile should contain one Lie card and the rest Honest cards. Shuffle the Confessions cards and place them in the middle of the table within easy reach of all players. Now the fun debating (arguments) can begin.
Forget the norms and traditions of other games, the youngest or oldest doesn’t get to kick the game off; the hairiest player starts. They take a Confession card from the top of the deck and read it out loud for everybody. For example: “My 13 year old was hanging out with some bad kids. So, I put an app on his phone that shows me his entire search history, messages and location” or “My dog is always in the room when my boyfriend and I get it on. He likes to watch. Something about it really get me going.” Each player then takes a Judgement Card and secretly reads it – if it is an Honest Card, argue about the morality of what you have just heard and how you really feel about the confession. If it is a Lie Card, argue the opposite of your true feelings about the confession. Players debate and discuss their opinions, grill each other and try to find who is lying. With the discussions over, all players point at who they think is the liar; how well do you know your friends and their ethics? Find the liar to win points. After 8 rounds, the players with the highest points total is the winner.
Overall, we think that Too Far is an excellent hilarious social game for teens and adults. Easy to play and different opinions all the time to some crazy confessions. Just remember, what happens in Too Far stays in Too Far… hopefully.
Too Far is an excellent game, a moral quandary, that get you and your friends talking in lively debate to some weird and wonderful confessions. It’s designed to provoke debate, stir up controversy, and ultimately, to entertain. Where do your morals lie? And do you know your friends and family well enough to spot when they are lying? Or will you be shocked at how skewed their moral compass really is?
There are 92 “confessions” in the deck ranging from the mildly uncomfortable to the downright scandalous. While the confessions raise some fun debatable topics, the real fun comes when arguing whether the scenario is acceptable or if it’s, well, too far.
This is a game that will have players laughing, cringing, and debating long after the cards have been put away. It’s a game that doesn’t just cross the line – it sprints over it with glee. A game for those who can appreciate the humour in the outrageous and find joy in the absurd. And as it is a deck of cards in a small box, it is extremely portable so that you can play it anywhere, anytime.
A perfect game for game nights that gets everybody engaging and interacting in a fun sociable way. How would you honestly debate the morality of “I caught my girlfriend getting with my brother in the club, so I slept with her sister for revenge” and could you lie about your true feelings about it without getting exposed as a liar?
