Description
The Couch Potato Game is the perfect addition to your next party or gathering, bringing together the thrill of competition with the comfort of, well, being a couch potato. Designed for a whopping 2 to 20 players, this game is sure to get everyone involved and laughing. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can fit in a round or two (or three, or four) without feeling like you're committing to a whole evening of gaming. Plus, the rules are ridiculously simple, so you can dive right in without needing to spend hours reading instruction manuals. Here's how it works: each player gets a hand of five cards, featuring either objects or special "Goof Proof" cards that can help you block your opponents or get ahead. Then, you grab the remote, flip on the TV, and wait for the commercials to roll. When they do, it's a mad dash to spot the objects on your cards (or your opponents') and get rid of your hand first. It's a real-time, action-packed game that's as much about quick thinking as it is about luck. And, let's be real, the best part might just be the specially designed card tray that holds your snacks – because what's watching TV without munching on something delicious? This 1987 classic, dreamed up by Larry Balsamo and Sandra Bergeson, is a true throwback to the golden age of television. With its humor-themed gameplay and hilarious rule book, you'll be giggling from the get-go. Whether you're a fan of movies, TV shows, or just love to laugh, The Couch Potato Game is the perfect way to spend a lazy evening with friends and family. So grab some snacks, gather your crew, and get ready to become the ultimate couch potato champion – all in the comfort of your own living room.
