Cards Against Sexism

The party game the patriarchy didn’t ask for.

but we made anyway.

65 things women actually get told. 130 ways to fire back.

psst… someone really said this one. out loud. at work.

Calm down.
Doesn’t Andrew Tate have a patent on those comments?
Why don’t you give us a smile?
I would but my face is on energy-saving mode.

Play a round

You’ve heard it. Now you’ve got 15 seconds.

A real comment. Three comebacks. Fire before the bar runs out — same rule as the table.

How to play

You know the rules. You’ve heard the comments.

Every Comment card is a line someone really said — we didn’t invent a single one. You get fifteen seconds to fire back, which is fourteen more than real life tends to give you.

Full rules & wellbeing guide

It’s a party game, not a training course. It’s up to you whether and how you use any of it in real life.

  1. Read

    The Top Cat draws a Comment card and reads it aloud. Best offender voice, please.

  2. Fire, blind

    Everyone's got 15 seconds to slide a Comeback face down into the middle. No overthinking it.

  3. Shuffle & deliver

    Top Cat shuffles the played Comebacks — just the ones face down in the middle — and deals one back to each player at random. You usually won’t get your own. Top Cat reads the Comment again and everyone fires the Comeback they were handed, out loud.

  4. Judge & win

    Funniest delivery wins the round and keeps the Comment card. First to five Comment cards wins the game.

The pairings

You’ve heard these. Now you’ve got answers.

Why don’t you give us a smile?
Fun fact: we don’t exist for male convenience.
She’s so bossy.
It’s called leadership skills.
Calm down.
I’ve seen toddlers lose arguments with more grace.
Are you on your period?
My eyes just rolled so hard, I saw yesterday.

130 Comeback cards. 65 Comment cards. Every Comment card is a line someone actually said.

The travel set on a white garden table: the box, a stack of purple Comment cards and a fanned stack of blue Comeback cards

What’s in the box

65 real comments.
130 comebacks.
One box.

The purple cards are the quotes. Every one of them was said to someone, out loud, by a real person. The blue cards are what you wish you’d said back.

How we play it

Play fierce.
Stay kind.

Who judges the round?

Pick whoever arrived latest, has the loudest shoes, or won the previous round. Democracy is optional.

What actually wins a round?

Confidence. Timing. The look on someone’s face when it lands. Not necessarily the funniest comeback — it’s how you fire it that wins.

Can we bin a card?

Absolutely. Every Comment card is something someone really said. If it lands badly for anyone at the table, bin it and draw another. No explanation needed.

Can we write our own cards?

Yes. Or suggest them to us and we’ll test them with real players. The best new combos end up in the next deck.

Out in the wild

People keep sending us these

Rooftops, pub tables, one courtyard that got loud enough for the neighbours. Every photo here came from someone who’d already played a round.

The serious bit

A funny game.
A real contribution.

A portion of profits goes to Sophia, a free, anonymous, 24/7 chatbot for anyone affected by domestic violence, run by our sister organisation Spring ACT. Because better conversations at the table can help power safer lives beyond it.
