Use word cards to invent and throw silly insults at opponents' life cards. Star retort battles with fill-in-the-blank and prompted cards. Match colors or symbols on those retort cards to keep the battle going. Last one to play a retort, wins that life card and scores points.

You create the funny, even if you're not. Unlike other party games that have other players judge you, anything you say goes. Where other games provide the funny and you just string it together, this game provides the prompts to let your creativity shine through. It's like a game of mad libs...with insults.

The biggest curmudgeon wins the game!

GAME OBJECTIVE: Curmudgeon is a game of insults! Use your own creativity to build insults from keywords. Throw those insults on other players’ life cards, engage in retort battles, win the battles and earn points. After the final round, all players have died and the game ends. The person with the most points wins and dies the biggest Curmudgeon!
