That’s What She Said Card Game Review: Is That What She Really Said?

You thought that That’s What She Said is only a catchphrase to use with your friends in extremely inappropriate situations, but actually, it’s the name of a pretty funny card game too! It consists of combining white and red cards together, to create the most hilarious, and dirtiest card combos ever! But, who is this game for? Is there anything you should know before playing?

The Box & The Cards Of That’s What She Said

The updated box design of the game is simpler, considering they have removed the extra kisses or catchphrases in the background. Currently, here’s how it looks:

The box is simple and resembles simplicity and chic gameplay. There’s a white-and-red logo that explains the game idea in visual form and immediately signals the adult humor. It includes a few main rules, such as the age range, number of players, and game time, and that’s what really matters at first sight. 

As always, the back provides more important details to help on what you should expect. There are a few card examples included too, so you get a glimpse of the humor used in the box. You will find the official website and social media hashtags, so you’re always updated with the game.

Clearly, we appreciate the sleek and compact box of That’s What She Said, and that’s exactly how cards are organized inside the box as well. This card game like Cards Against Humanity, brings a deck of 458 cards: 400 white cards, and 58 red ones.

Jokes with superheroes are not so innocent anymore. We ain’t mad about that though. 

I know you tilted your head to read it. For a prompt like doing it three in a row, it’s definitely worth it. 

Which one’s your favorite, and why exactly the one with the stool?

Instructions & Sincere Thoughts On That’s What She Said

First things first, That’s What She Said can be played by 4 or more people, by whoever’s 17 or older. Pretty common for an adult card game, ain’t it? The game is best to be played by close friends, either for random game nights, or for special ones. One of our favorite times to play TWSS, is in bachelorette parties. 

If you know how to play Cards Against Humanity, you’re halfway there. One player is the game judge each round, and reads a red card out loud. On the other hand, all other players submit one white card, which they think makes the best response to the setup card of the round. After the game judge shuffles the whole white cards, they pick their favorite, which gets one point. 

Now, That’s What She Said absolutely lives up to its promise. The game is probably inspired by the fabulous show, the Office (check Cards Against The Office btw), and brings the same type of humor Michael uses. Not many dirty words used, but definitely jokes that only an adult understands!

Another thing to appreciate is the replayability level. Although the cards are the same, in different game sessions, it will feel like playing with a different deck, all because of the possibility of new combinations and jokes. Personally, I think it’s all about choosing the right people to play. You know who they are 😉

Extra Packs Of That’s What She Said

Since the game started being such a crowd pleaser, they definitely had to create extra packs for us. There are 3 expansion packs out there, and each brings 100 brand-new cards to be added to the main game. The type of jokes and cards is the same, but there’s just more content for your game nights. 

If you wanna get the main game, or any of the packs, bear in mind that they’re all available on Amazon.
