What’s This All About Then?
What’s This All About Then?
Verbal abuse is simple – Really simple! You use three cards to make a sentence.
Granted, it’s likely to be a filthy and foul, debauched and dank sentence, but it’s a sentence none the less. Think of it like adult education.
And that is, quite literally, it.
Get some cards, make a sentence, have a laugh, feel a bit sick about yourself – simples.

How To Play With Your Friends
Look, realistically this is a simple game where you use three cards to make a dreadful sentence – play it however the hell you want, just have fun. That being said, if you have a fetish for a bit of structure, or just don’t want to think too hard, have a look below at our gaming modes and additional game play options:
Game Mode 1: The Random Quicky – A Game of Chance
- Appoint a dealer for the first round – it doesn’t matter who, just pick one.
- Ensure all three decks are well shuffled.
- Deal each player one black and one white card from the respective packs, as well as a communal grey ‘opening’ card (do not show your opponents your cards).
- The players play the cards they have been dealt and in turn reveal their sentences out loud to the group.
- The winner of each round is the player the dealer deems to have the best – or most (in)appropriate – sentence.
- This player collects the grey card as their prize and becomes the dealer for the next round, whilst all other cards are returned to the decks.
- Repeat steps 3-6 for each round that is played and play as many rounds as you like.
The winner is the player with the most collected grey cards when the game is complete, that’s if you really care about there being a winner.
Game Mode 2: The Dirty Three-way – Just A Little More Choice
- Appoint a dealer for the first round – seriously, it really doesn’t matter who, just pick one.
- Ensure all three decks are well shuffled.
- Deal each player one white card for each round that is to be played and then deal one communal grey ‘opening’ card, and three communal black ‘verb’ cards for the first round (do not show your opponents your cards).
- The players create their sentences by choosing one of the three black cards, and pairing it with one of their white cards.
In turn the players reveal their sentences out loud to the group. - The winner of the round is the player the dealer deems to have the best – or most (in)appropriate – sentence.
- This player collects the grey card as their prize and becomes the dealer for the next round. The spent white cards and the three communal black cards are returned to the decks.
- For each round the dealer deals a new grey ‘opening’ card and three new black ‘verb’ cards, and the players create their sentences from their remaining white cards until the game is complete.
The winner is the player with the most collected grey cards when the game is complete, if that sort of thing matters to you.
Game Mode 3: Full Frontal Lewdity – The Full Shebang
This is Verbal Abuse in her most gratuitous glory and where most of the extra gaming options reach their perverted potential; so you all just play away and enjoy yourselves.
- Appoint a dealer for the first round – just pick one, we aren’t going to tell you again (mainly because this is the last gaming option – we’re not monsters).
- Ensure all three decks are well shuffled.
- Deal each player one white and one black card for each round to be played (do not show your opponents your cards).
- Turn the grey card at the top of the deck.
- The players create their sentences by choosing a pairing of one white and one black card from their selections.
- In turn the players reveal their sentences out loud to the group.
- The winner of each round is the player the dealer deems to have the best – or most (in)appropriate – sentence.
- This player collects the grey card as their prize and becomes the dealer for the next round. The spent white and black cards are returned to the decks.
The winner is the player with the most collected grey cards when the game is complete, but really everyone is a winner, or not, who cares?
The Group Sesh – A Card Orgy
OK, so maybe we told a lie – there is one extra gaming option. A wise person once said, team work makes dream work, so why not get a little gross in a group?
As with the other game modes, these are only very loose guidelines, but our thoughts are that you can either:
- Play the other options in teams by pooling your cards for more choices.
Or: - Dump a pile of cards on the table face down, grab what you can as fast as you can in some kind of insane melee, and then as a team pick your sentences from what you have.
Just don’t hurt yourselves or fall out.
The Small Print…
Please don’t steal our game. We’re nice people, but if you do this, we will really be very cross.
