U, NO REALLY (Quickstart (Real (Not)))

U, NO REALLY™ is the classic and beloved card game that feels impossible to pick up and hard to continue!

Players take turns matching a card in their hand with their current feelings toward one another, either by color, number or emotional spectrum. Special Emotional Aaction cards deliver game-changing moments as they each perform a function to help you defeat your opponents.

And by that we mean your crippling insecurities of self-expression and acceptance.

These include Skips, Reverses, Draw Twos, Embarrassed Faces, Sincere Compliments, and Draw Four cards.

If you can’t make a match, you must draw from the central pile and remember this for your next therapy appointment!

And when you’re down to one card, don’t forget to shout “NO, U!” The first player to rid themselves of all their burdensome emotions we mean all the cards in their hand before their opponents we mean relational cohort wins.
