Poopyhead is a board game released in 2015 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Martin Nedergaard Andersen and Team Identity.
From the box (translated): Try to beat your opponent in this lightning fast card game. Everybody tries to put down as quick as possible and in the right sequence: Toilet, Turd, Toilet Paper, Washing Hands (with no two cards of the same colour being allowed on top of each other). When a player has no more cards or cannot play anymore he hits the whoopie cushion. The player with the most cards left gets a fake turd (point) and a new round starts. The person with the fewest turds/points at the end of the game wins. Players lay cards on the pile in the right colors and sequence: toilet, poo, wipe, and wash hands. As soon as a player is unable to play a card, they squeeze the whoopie cushion to end the round. The player with the most cards left must place a pile of poop on his head. After 5 rounds, the player with the most piles loses the game. Game includes 5 poopy headband, whoopie cushion, 48 sequence cards and instructions.
Poopyhead supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Poopyhead is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Poopyhead for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Poopyhead has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
