I bought what do you meme because I really enjoyed playing cards against humanity with friends last Christmas and thought that making up memes would be a nice fun twist on game play. I also liked the fact that the name of the game is a play on words to Justin Bieber’s song what do you mean. Just to be clear though this game is not suitable for children.
The game is straight forward like cards against humanity but here each person takes 7 caption cards and then one player takes it turns to be the judge and puts up an image with a supplied easel which could be for example a photo of a fat cat lying on it’s back. The caption card a player might have is, ’when your stepdad Rick drinks all your Mountain Dew’ or ‘When you’re trying to lose weight but gain 3 pound every time you walk by and smell the chippy’. Everyone then secretly selects one card and hands it to the Judge, the Judge then reads out each caption after shuffling them, it’s best to keep the photo visible to all players to create more laughs and banter. The judge then votes on which one they found the most funny and suitably matching. The judge then asks the players who’s card they chose and the winner of that round takes the photo card. The game also comes with freestyle cards and everyone has to come up with their own captions for that image on the spot. The game keeps going till you get hungry and order a pizza, not my words though, seriously that bit is in the rules!
The game has plenty of caption cards to get through and there is a reasonable amount of photo cards too. It also comes with a separate lot of adult caption cards to discover.
I played this with some friends aged between 21 - 32, we really had alot of fun and were laughing hysterically at each round of the game. Some of the photo cards were recognised by some of the players which was good - being meme fans.
As this is the UK version they have done a good job with making the caption cards relevant and current to a UK audience for example one caption card says, ‘when your mate tells you they voted Leave’.
Although there is plenty of caption cards I can imagine the re-playability of it will become less and less over time but there are expansion packs out there and I would of thought that the company will bring out more like we saw with Cards against humanity. Also the game does encourage you to use your own photos.
The box it’s self is good quality and should last well but is not that compact. When packing away though it was a little tricky as the photo cards prevent the box lid sliding all the way down, as they cannot be stored alongside the caption cards which I would of probably preferred, but I think this would be possible after taking out the plastic tray the caption cards sit in anyway. The quality of the caption cards are not bad and pretty thick. The photo cards are a good size too. I have included some photos of the inside of the box, the box itself and the contents.
The price I felt was maybe a little steep but I have found this has been varying a little on Amazon.
So to conclude I would recommend this game to people that enjoyed cards against humanity, who are not easily offended and enjoy banter. I look forward to getting the game back out before next Christmas.
