About the game
God Hates Charades is a fast-paced acting and guessing party game that will have you and your friends acting like "God auditioning for the role of a dead body on Law And Order", "Batman having too much fun at a glory hole", or maybe "Jeff Goldblum complaining that MTV doesn't play music videos." Whatever the scene, you'll be laughing so hard your face will melt off like those Nazi jerks in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
