Jewish Card Revoked

This is a fun, generous stack of cards guaranteed to bring lots of laughs in groups. There's a few ways to use this game. First, follow the rules and play it. You could use a few at a time for dinner conversation. I was asked to speak at my local synagogue for a luncheon, and picked several cards for a light-hearted time. The idea was to ask the group the questions and get their responses. This is more than a trivial pursuit kind of game, in that it is focused more on opinions, so there's no right or wrong answer. And as the old saying goes, "You get two Jews in a room, you'll get three opinions." That makes it more fun. A lot of thought went into these cards. What you really have here is a celebration of Jewish culture. This isn't Bible questions, but looking into the traditions and unique things that make up Judaism. I think pro-Jewish gentiles would enjoy this as well. So however you use these cards, you're sure to have fun.

Friend indicated they wanted these as a gift, so bought them as a surprise. Unfortunately, they ended up not being as funny as the friend expected and a "little disappointing".

Make no mistake: this is not 'Cards Against Humanity" in any way except for the size of the box and cards. This game will generate conversations among Jewish populations, but probably won't be a hit with anyone unfamiliar with the religion. It's a great timy gift to give out for Chanukah.

This card game is so cute. Great to play with family that think they know everything about the Jewish culture. The questions seem so basic but the answers are so cool to learn and hard to guess.There are so many cards that you can play this for a lot of holidays with the same people and never repeat!

You may have heard the expression "Three Jews, four opinions" or variations of it.This card game is designed to capitalize on the assumption that anywhere Jews are gathered, there will be several opinions on any topic. I don't disagree with the stereotype (it is said that to debate points in the Talmud is the best path to truth); the Jews I grew up with consider debate (arguing, there's usually some shouting) a great sport.To play this game, a question is asked by one of the players, and that player provides four possible choices that appear on the card (A, B, C, or D) as to what is the best answer to the question posed. Each player has four cards marked "A, B, C, or D and holds up what they feel is the best answer to the question. One representative from the majority team and one from the minority team have 45 seconds each to argue why their answer is the best.In my opinion, this game fails compared to other similar card games because the "funny answers" are usually not funny. In fact, going through the deck, there were very few times anyone laughed. This could have been funnier if the players were supposed to supply their own answers; indeed, when we played it that way, there were a lot of chuckles.The other issue is that most of the questions revolved around the differences between Ashkenazi (those with an Eastern European background) and Sephardic (those with Iberian background) Jews. While there are many differences, and there's usually a little gentle teasing between the groups, the real debates I have heard by Jews center more around the differences between reform, conservative and orthodox Jews, as in the old joke about a Jew stranded on an island. When rescued, the rescuer sees two beautiful structures and asks about them. The man replies, "Oh, that's my synagogue; I built it myself." When asked about the other structure, he replies, "Oh, that's the conservative synagogue; no one goes there anymore."A cute game, but it gets boring after a while. If played by Ashkenazim and Sephardim, I suppose it would be a lot more fun.Review of: Jewish Card Revoked

My jewish family played this over this past Thanksgiving with mixed results. The actual game is sort of a reverse Apples to Apples rip off and honestly there is no real strategy or intrigue from a game perspective. Basically the appeal of the game is the funny insights into everyday Jewish life and culture that your group may or may not relate to.Our group included my people in their 30's through 70's and honestly most of the cards fell flat with either cultural references that were not picked up (i.e. specific Phish songs and other musical artists) or just not considered funny. We ended up taking about 15 mins going through the funnier cards out loud without actually playing the game and then we put it in the donate pile.Perhaps the right group might enjoy this more than our group did.

The card deck is very large which provides plenty of laughs. The cards themselves are on the smaller side.Played with some friends and had a blast. I would absolutely recommend this game for those raised Jewish or practicing. Knowing about Jewish culture will naturally help with understanding most of the cards. But it’s a very light and enjoyable game. It’s also easy to play and not complicated whatsoever. It’s worth adding to the game closet for those with a sense of humor.
