Description

Have you ever scrolled Spotify’s top 100 list and thought to yourself, “Who the hell are these people?” or said, “8pm is too late to start a movie”? If so, then gather around with your side parts, skinny jeans, and craft beers because it’s time to play “You’re Getting Old”, a party game that proves age is just a number... but sometimes that number is higher than you'd like it to be.

Each turn, a card is drawn with both an “old” and "redeem" prompt. If you've said or done what's listed on the "old" prompt, you move your avocado piece down one space on your “path to getting old” card. Congratulations, you're one step closer to the finish line... or should we say "the end of the line."

But don't worry, there's a glimmer of hope! If you've said or done what's listed on the ""redeem"" prompt, you get to move back a space. It's a small victory, but it's a reminder that you still have some youth left in you.

The player who reaches the end of the path first is the loser, and the player closest to the start wins, but let's be real, you're all losers in this game.

You're Getting Old is perfect for your next game night with friends or family, a party, or social event!
