About the game
Stab a Panda is a “would you rather” style party game for 3-8 players that plays in 25 minutes. It features somewhat raunchy humor inclusive of, rather than attacking, marginalized groups. Unlike some other party games, it doesn’t “pander” to a judge. Instead, players must guess how the active player thinks. Features: • No “pandering” to a judge; More strategy and getting to know other players • Short game play (but can be extended) • Great artwork (not just “black text on white cards”) • Inclusive (“punching up”) • Easy to learn The active player, or “panda” gets 4 cards which they secretly rank 1-4 in order of preference. At the same time, the other players must guess how the panda will rank their cards. For each card matched, the player gets a point. At the end of one round, the player with the most points wins!

The listed playing time for Stab A Panda is 15–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

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