Space Poo: The Card Game is a board game released in 2016 for 2–8 players, 5–15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Take That, and Player Elimination.
In space, no one can hear you fling poo! It was one of those missions. The ones where they send monkeys into space to make sure it’s safe for humans. Lucky for you, you’re that crack simian space station crew, but the astronaut food isn’t cutting it. There’s only one thing to do – Fling Poo, in zero-gravity! Space Poo is a fast-paced game where players take on the role of monkeys on a space station in the middle of a poo fight. Your goal is to be the last monkey standing, who is also the cleanest one. Each turn, each player gets to draw and play a card, usually to either fling poo or clean himself off. Out of turn, players have the opportunity to play cards to foil other players' poo flinging. If you get covered in too much poo, you're out of the game and the last monkey standing wins. But watch out! Things can go wrong on the station and they spell disaster if you don’t deal with them.
Space Poo: The Card Game supports 2–8 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 Space Poo: The Card Game is 5–15 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 Space Poo: The Card Game for ages 8 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.
