About the Game

Play the Patriarchy is a fast-paced card-matching game aimed at taking down (or at least taking a good jab at) the patriarchy.

Players each draw nine cards; the Matriarch (the dealer) pulls a prompt card. Players can use any combination of their cards to create a response to the prompt; Subject, Verb, and Descriptor cards allow for infinite possibilities of riotous phrases. The Matriarch chooses the best (or funniest) answer, and the winner becomes the Matriarch for the next round. The game is over when all the cards have been played.
