About the game
The party game Rackare consists of two decks of cards: White and Black. Each round, the Rackarkung or dealer player draws a random white card from the deck, then the other players each secretly choose the black card in hand that makes for the funniest combination. The Rackarkung then chooses the combination they like best and the winner keeps the white card which is worth one point. The title of Rackarkung alternates and the winner is the player to first reach 10 points. This is a Swedish adaptation (cultural references as well as language) of Cards Against Humanity, with additional optional rules concerning the white cards. Some of them are marked with one of three smiley-like symbols. One gives double points to the winner, one allows all players to discard one black card of their choice and draw a new black card, one means that the winner of this round gets the punishment that all players agreed to before the game started.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Rackare! for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
