About the Game

Paskahousu (Finnish: "shitpants") is a traditional Finnish folk card game,

brought to Steam.

The rules are simple. The humiliation is not.

Play your cards higher than the pile. Use 2s to reset it, 10s to nuke it.

When your hand runs out, play from the table — then flip your hidden cards

blind and pray. The last player holding cards becomes the paskahousu.
