BATSU! The Punishment Card Game - A Hilarious Challenge

BATSU! is the ultimate party card game where players compete in fun challenges to avoid punishments! Created in collaboration with Face Off Unlimited, the company behind the popular live comedy show, BATSU! Live, which is performed in New York City and Chicago. The name BATSU! (罰 or ばつ) is a Japanese word meaning punishment or penalty. In Japan, there is a long tradition of comedy where the loser of a competition receives some kind of humorous retribution, known as batsu-game.

In BATSU! Live, four warriors compete in absurd challenges to avoid electric shocks, paintballs, a giant egg-smashing chicken, and many more hilarious punishments! The show has achieved enormous success, selling out most of its over 1000 shows in the past decade. The performers of BATSU!, whom the New York Times has called "Truly Funny!", also regularly appear on TV, film, stage, and even on the popular YouTube channel Epic Rap Battles.

The game works by having one player act as the judge in each round. The judge draws a challenge card that the other players must compete in. Challenges can range from telling a story to acting as a prop in a play. There is a pile of audience suggestions to vary the game each time a challenge is drawn. Different challenges require different types of suggestions. For example, the judge might draw a location card that allows the scene to take place anywhere, from a baseball field to Mars.

The judge then decides which player performed the worst and deserves to be punished, Japanese game show style! The punishment can be something humiliating like calling a friend to tell an embarrassing story about themselves, or something painful, like getting an arm hair shaved! In the end, players are either funny or get punished!
