About the game
In Dad Joke Face-Off, two players sit face-to-face and take turns telling jokes. Read a Dad Joke off of your card and do so WITHOUT SMILING OR LAUGHING, while trying to get your opponent to crack. Sounds pretty simple? Don’t take our word for it, get your friends and family together and see who laughs… or doesn’t laugh the most! When a player smiles or laughs, their opponent gets a "Made You Laugh" card equaling 1 point. The player with the most points wins the round, and the one who wins the most rounds wins the game.
