About the game
Every group of friends has that one person – the one you’re always joking about (either to their face or not) –, and if you don’t know who that person is, it ought to be you! Amigos de Mierda (Shitty Friends) is a quick and easy game where players randomly draw cards that make statements or questions about someone’s character. Then, on the count of three, every player on the table points to who they see fit for that situation. The most voted person gets the card, and whoever gets 5 cards first is crowned the Shitty Friend! Put your colleagues to the test and take your relationships to the limit with Amigos de Mierda (Shitty Friends!) INCLUDES “SPICY” EXPANSION! —description from the publisher (translated)

Questions and answers
Shitty Friends supports 3–22 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 Shitty Friends is 20–40 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 Shitty Friends for ages 18 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.
Shitty Friends 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.
