Hasbro has launched an innovative card game for adults, Arschmallows, designed to offer a blend of lighthearted entertainment and strategic gameplay. This unique game features a set of whimsical marshmallow characters, each imbued with its own distinctive humor, which players use to engage in a memory-based strategy game aimed at playfully teasing one another.
Perfect for parties and events, the Arschmallows card game consists of 65 cards, each depicting marshmallows with varying 'Roast Ratings' that indicate their point values. The goal is to pass high-point, over-roasted marshmallows to opponents while keeping low-point, fresh marshmallows for oneself. The majority of the marshmallows are hidden face down, adding an element of surprise and requiring players to rely on memory and deduction.
Arschmallows is designed for groups of 2 to 6 players aged 13 and up.
