OUT WITH IT!

OUT WITH IT! is a party card game where you roll a die, draw a challenge, and talk on the spot. Make ridiculous arguments, tell questionable stories, explain things you barely understand, and sell things nobody wants.

You don't need to be a great speaker. You don't even need to be a good one. You just have to get it OUT WITH IT!

4 to 8 players. Ages 8 to adult. About 30 minutes.

Roll the die to get your category. Draw a card and pick your level. Take about ten seconds to think while someone starts a timer on their phone. Then talk. When you finish, everyone else votes. NAILED IT! earns you a Participation Trophy. GOOD TRY! means you keep what you have. NOPE! costs you one. After five rounds, the most trophies wins.

• MAKE YOUR CASE: Defend an opinion, even a ridiculous one. Cereal is a legitimate dinner. Prove it.
• TELL THE STORY: Draw a WHO, a WHERE, and a WHAT. A grandma who thinks she's a spy, at a run-down hotel that looked amazing online, when a stranger hands someone a key and runs away. Go.
• EXPLAIN THIS: Explain a microwave to a caveman. Then try it without saying hot, heat, cook, or food.
• SELL IT: Sell us a balloon. Now sell it after it pops.
• ANSWER THAT: What would your warning label say? Answer it, then tell us why.
• EXPECT ANYTHING: The rules go out the window. Fire another player from their burger job and make it sound like a favor. Report breaking news that all dogs have stopped obeying humans. Accept your award for World's Worst Superhero.

Every card has two levels. GO keeps it simple. GO BIG cranks up the difficulty. Both earn the same trophies, so an eight-year-old can beat their dad fair and square.

• 180 challenge cards across nine decks
• A custom six-sided category die
• Participation Trophies, thick gold medals that prove you're already a winner
• Rules with a Quick Start for people who don't read rules
• A sturdy two-piece box

Bring a phone for the timer. Every card has its own time, and your phone already knows how to count.

Shipping is added at checkout. In the US it's $12 for one game and $15 for the Game + Book bundle, the Two-Pack, the Founder's Edition, and Game Night. The Workshop includes shipping. We're starting with US shipping so every game arrives on time at a fair price.

Stretch goals are bonus unlocks for every backer if we raise more than our goal. At $12,500 every box gets a bonus deck of 30 extra challenges. At $15,000 it gets OUT WITH IT! Would You Rather... Defend It!, where you pick a side and then convince everyone you were right. At $17,500 it gets The Big Speech, a storybook game where you have one hour to give a speech and everything goes wrong. At $20,000 it gets Talk Your Way Out, a pick-your-path adventure set in a kingdom where talking is banned. At $30,000 every backer gets a free web companion with a timer, score keeper, and random card draw. Every unlock costs you nothing extra.

Most people would rather do almost anything than speak on the spot. I've spent 25 years helping people get past that, and I've learned the fastest way through it is practice that doesn't feel like practice. So I built a game where the practice is hidden inside the laughing. Nobody at your table will feel like they're in a workshop. They'll just be trying to explain why people clap when a plane lands.

I'm Mike Acker. I wrote Speak With No Fear and Speak With Confidence, and I coach speakers for a living. I also grew up with a speech impediment, so I know what it feels like to dread being put on the spot. OUT WITH IT! is the game I wish I'd had.

All six categories, the LEVEL UP deck, and the rules are written. A full 180-card prototype is printed and on its way for playtesting. We're getting quotes from experienced game factories that print, pack, and ship straight to the US. Games ship in October 2027, in time for the 2027 holidays. That date includes extra time, because we'd rather surprise you early than late.
