About the game
A revised edition of “The Fashion Game” produced in early 2023 in Japan, Fashion Police has players put on the badge to judge the fashion sense of the others at the table, identifying who dressed for which occasion. But being a critique isn’t enough! At the same time, you must design your outfit for your occasion. Did you dress for the Stone Age in the latest fast fashion treads? Clad head to toe in faux fur for the beach? Don’t get caught failing to dress for the occasion! Fashion Police is a party game that offers three game modes (including both competitive and cooperative play). Regardless of which ruleset you choose, players are first given a theme/occasion (60 unique ones including tacky tourist, apocalypse, Monday at the office, too young for your age, etc.) for which they need to design an outfit. Players then place, layer, combine, rotate, flip, etc. their randomly drawn pattern cards (60 unique options) under clothing templates to create their look—creativity knows no bounds! Players finally guess who dressed for which occasion to score points. Adopting the mechanics of popular word-based party games, Fashion Police creates lively, organic discussions over player answers and designs without the exclusivity some of these language-dependent games have. Laugh as you learn just how much you (don’t) get fashion in this easy-to-learn game for all ages and groups! —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fashion Police for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
