AM I THE A**HOLE? (17+)

Who will you be today? You might be the Liar, trying to trick everyone. Or the Judge, pouring scorn. You could be the Chaos Agent creating drama. Or maybe you are the Original Poster everyone else is trying to find.

It doesn’t matter whether you actually think it’s fair to charge people to attend your wedding.

Or flirting with a partner’s father is a totally reasonable way to get him to like you.

Or if you agree that telling your twelve-year-old niece Santa’s not real makes you an a**hole.

No, what matters is what your Character thinks. So, put on your best poker face and play your role convincingly as you debate the selected Post. And if your opponents fall for your act, then you’ll win. It’s that simple.

This is a party game of lies, duplicity, and literal finger-pointing. Made to be played with 3–8 friends, Am I The A**hole? is suitable for adults only, and it takes around 30 minutes for someone to reveal themselves as a real grade-A bullsh*tter.

At Ridley’s Games, we like to make Good Clean Fun that’s as kind to the planet as it can be, so this game is printed on FSC paper with soy inks and made using 30% recycled materials.

How to Play:

• You will need to be smart. You will need to be cunning. And you will need one heck of a poker face to win this one.
• Draw a Character Card to discover your secret role. Really get into the mindset. Go full Method, even.
• The Dealer draws a Post card and reads it aloud. For instance, “AITA for not letting my BF go to his ex-fiancée’s funeral?” or “AITA for taking my date to McDonald’s?” or even “AITA for refusing to give my best friend an alibi?”
• Now, everyone debates the Post. But not as themselves. No, no, no. As their Characters.
• Maybe you’re the Empath trying to see the good in everyone. Or the Liar out to deceive. Or maybe you have it easy with the No F*cks Given, and you can just sit there quietly.
• But wait. If you do that, everyone will think you’re the Original Poster. And ultimately, that’s who everyone’s trying to find. And if people think you’re the OP, you’ll fail your role and won’t win. Huh. Maybe this one’s not so easy after all.
• When the debate’s all done, it’s time to vote, and everyone points to the person they think is the OP. Each Character has their own win condition, so if you played your role successfully, congrats! You can discard a token. But if your opponents caught on to your game, then you fail. Aww, no smiles for you.
• The first player to discard all their tokens wins the game. But they’ve also revealed themselves to be a master manipulator and purveyor of the dark art of deceit. So, they can never be trusted again.

Who It’s For:

Play with friends you know and love, but be aware you may see a different side to them by the end!

What's Inside:

292 Post cards, 8 Character cards, 42 tokens, and English instructions.

AITA FOR…? – Yeah, probably. But that doesn’t really matter in this game. What matters is how well you can deceive your friends and cheat your true self to play your role convincingly. Sound good? Then Am I The A**hole? from Ridley’s is made for you.

SOCIAL DEDUCTION PARTY GAME – Whether you’re hiding your true feelings, sowing confusion, or seeking the truth about the Post, you are also trying to unmask the Original Poster in every round. So, how good are you at reading people, really?

ADULTS ONLY – Each of the 292 Post cards is outrageous in its own special way. And we don’t want to make kids think the world is full of a**holes, so this game is just for groups of 3-8 grown-ups who are willing to reveal their manipulative selves.

ENDLESSLY REPLAYABLE – There are 8 Characters to choose from, and you draw a new role every round. And the Post you’re debating changes, too. So, the chance of pulling the same scenario twice is … well, we can’t do that math. But it’s unlikely. Promise.
