Offense, awkwardness and all-round cringe is very subjective. To keep ourselves well covered we have a blanket 17+ age guidance on our game, but if we’re honest… Not one single conversation on our cards was alien to either Emily or myself in our childhood. So here’s a guide to help you navigate the game content.
PARENTAL GUIDANCE
picking out cards
The majority of our cards are family-friendly, and any offending cards can be easily removed either before or during the game by a responsible adult.
Even with the most sensitive censoring filter, you will still end up with 60+ cards in the original edition of The Shame of Life, which will last plenty of games.
SENSITIVE TOPICS
As Emily and I only have two particularily foul-mouthed cats at our house to provide a frame of reference for parental censoring, we have had to use our imagination to categorise the cards that aren’t appropriate for all ages.
