In Bullshit Bingo: The 1-player Party Game, Sandy McIntosh delivers a biting, hilarious satire of corporate culture, jargon, and the absurdity of office life. The game isn’t just a party activity—it’s a playful critique of modern-day business speak, a cultural phenomenon that turns tedious meetings and conferences into an absurd yet oddly satisfying bingo competition. It’s the perfect game for the introverted professional who finds themselves trapped in a world of buzzwords, tired clichés, and meaningless jargon.Designed as a one-player experience, Bullshit Bingo takes the essence of classic bingo but applies it to the wild, chaotic world of business language. The aim? To cross off the overused, over-the-top corporate lingo you encounter daily. Words like “synergy,” “paradigm shift,” and “circle back” take on new life when you're actively looking for them to win your game.With its sharp wit, the game appeals to anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at the vacuousness of a business meeting or corporate retreat. McIntosh’s game is both humorous and cathartic, offering relief from the monotony of the office while cleverly lampooning the very system that so many find themselves trapped in.Critics have praised Bullshit Bingo for its smart commentary on corporate culture. According to The New Yorker, “McIntosh transforms a mundane office experience into a wickedly funny social commentary.” And The Guardian notes, “This game strikes the perfect balance between satire and amusement. It’s a must-have for professionals looking to inject humor into their daily grind.”Perfect for professionals, freelancers, or anyone seeking to make their work life a bit more fun, Bullshit Bingo is a clever take on modern business culture that promises endless laughs.Author Biography:Sandy McIntosh is a critically acclaimed satirist, game designer, and writer known for her sharp wit and keen observations of modern culture. With Bullshit Bingo: The 1-player Party Game, McIntosh has carved a niche as a unique voice in the world of social commentary, using humor and satire to illuminate the absurdities of everyday life.

Get ready for charades like you've never played it before. You can play Pop Freak! with as many people as you can find. Divide yourselves into teams then randomly pull out about 40 cards (more for a longer game; fewer for a quick one) – but no peeking! Set the cards in a pile in the middle. This is the playing deck.Each game has three rounds. Teams take 60 second turns to collect as many cards as they can by correctly guessing exactly what’s written on each of them. One person in the team does the talking (or not talking) to the rest of the team, who do the guessing.For every correct guess, your team gets to keep the card. A round is over when there are no cards left in the playing deck. Tally the scores and shuffle all the cards back together for the next round. The winning team is the one who has accumulated the highest score over the three rounds.Round 1You can say anything you want besides the words or phrases on the card. If you say any of these, the card is returned randomly to the playing deck, and you lose five seconds from that turn. There’s no skipping of cards that you get stuck on. Sorry. And no spelling out words or rhyming!Round 2The same as round one, but you can only say one word. Use it wisely.Round 3No words or sounds.Cards are divided into four categories: movies, TV, celebs and random. Players may draw E.T., Game of Thrones, The Spice Girls, Catfishing, Tom Hanks, 30 Rock or hundreds of other pop-cultural references. With movies, films and stars that span the generations, this is the perfect game to play with friends or the whole family.
