One part game, one part conversation starter, you don't need to be a pun master to master Punderdome—the goal is to make bad jokes and have fun in the process.

A player (the prompter for that round) draws two prompt cards from the deck, reading the prompts to the rest of the group, who have 90 seconds to create a single, groan-worthy pun that combines the two prompts.

When time is up, pun makers share their puns with the prompter, who awards the prompt cards to the player whose pun they like best. The winner then draws the next pair of prompt cards, and the process repeats. Players win by obtaining 10 pairs of cards.

The card game is inspired by the live game show Punderdome 3000, created by our authors, father-daughter duo Jo and Fred Firestone. Since its start in 2011, Punderdome 3000 has become a cult favourite in Brooklyn nightlife.

From the daughter-father duo that created Brooklyn's beloved live pun competition, this "punderful card game" is perfect for friends and families.

Easy to play and enjoy in person or over video chat!

Punderdome includes:

  • 200 double-sided cards (100 White and 100 Green)
  • 2 Mystery Envelopes with fill-in prize slips
  • 2 80-page pads for drafting puns
  • 1 instruction card and 1 pun example card
  • A stu-PUN-dous time for 3 or more players

Punderdome is a pun-based card game praised for its humour and creativity, offering hilariously groan-inducing fun that's ideal for parties or family gatherings. Reviewers highlight its ability to replace popular games like Cards Against Humanity by encouraging face-to-face interaction and turning your living room into a pun-filled arena. Applauded for its wit and interactive nature, it's seen as a way to disconnect from technology and connect with others through clever wordplay.
