Meet the categories
Five ways to lovingly call out your family.
Every card belongs to one of five categories. Each one brings a different flavor of chaos to game night.
Ridiculous temporary rules everyone has to follow. Talk like a news anchor. Refer to your cousin as "Your Highness." Game night gets weird, fast.
Old stories. Funny confessions. "Wait, you remember that?" moments. Some you tell out loud. Others your family has to guess.
Light-hearted callouts for the people who absolutely deserve it. Every family has a drama queen, a snack thief, and someone who definitely started it.
Quick challenges that get everyone out of their seat. Searching, acting, competing, and laughing way too hard at Mom doing an impression.
Guess what someone would choose between two options — and find out how confidently wrong your family can be.
Brownie Points
The official scoring system. Win a round, earn a Brownie Point, and prove you're the family favorite. First to 6 wins. Everyone else gets to defend themselves at the next reunion.

BEFORE WE PRINTED A SINGLE BOX
Over 100 playtesters. One verdict.
Over 100 playtesters told us what they thought before we printed a single box. Here's what they said.
"Grandma vs. Uncle, 10/10."
My grandma roasted my uncle and I almost spit out my drink. 10/10 family chaos.
— Teen player
"Phones down, family on."
We laughed way more than expected. It felt like the whole family was finally off their phones and actually playing together.
— Mom playing with kids + grandparents
"Wanted to keep playing."
The Family Roast was a hit with our group. The rules were simple, the rounds moved quickly, and the mix of questions, votes, and challenges kept everyone involved. I wish there were even more cards because we wanted to keep playing.
— Family game expert
"One round became an hour."
Instant hit. We planned to play one round and ended up playing for over an hour.
— Party host
"Best part of Thanksgiving."
We brought this out after dinner and it turned into the best part of the night. The roast cards were funny without being mean, and the kids loved winning Brownie Points.
— Aunt hosting Thanksgiving
"Silly and sweet."
Fun game and really easy to start. Good mix of silly and sweet cards.
— Group of three
"One dramatic kitchen exit."
Caused arguments, laughter, and one dramatic exit to the kitchen. So yes, excellent family game.
— Cousins
"Worked for every age."
I loved that this game worked for different ages. My youngest liked the silly challenges, my older kids liked the guessing cards, and the adults had the most fun with the Roast category. It made our game night feel easy and natural.
— Mom of three
"Old stories came back to life."
We played this with my parents and siblings and it felt like old family stories came back to life. The game gives you just enough structure to get everyone talking without feeling forced.
— Big family
Frequently asked
Questions, before the chaos.
Is the game actually family-friendly?
Yes — completely. The Family Roast is designed for mixed-age households. The roasts are light-hearted, the challenges are silly, and nothing in the deck is inappropriate for kids. It's warm humor, not sharp edges. You're calling out your cousin's drama, not roasting a stand-up crowd.
How many people can play?
The game works with 3 to 12 players. The sweet spot is 4–8 — enough people for great guessing and voting rounds, not so many that turns drag. Got a huge family? Play in two teams.
How long does a game take?
A typical round runs 30–40 minutes. You control the pace — play to 6 Brownie Points for a full game, or set a timer and see who's winning when dinner's ready. It's easy to pick up and put down.
What comes in the box?
144 game cards across five categories, 56 Brownie Points cards, a sand timer, and a one-page instruction manual. Everything you need is in the box — no app, no batteries, no setup.
When does it launch?
We're putting the finishing touches on the first production run now. Join the early access list and you'll be first to know the exact date — plus first in line if we do a launch deal.
Do you need to know complicated rules?
Not at all. The rulebook is one page and you can explain the whole game in under two minutes. If you can read a card, you can play. No setup, no overhead, no one reading a wall of text before the fun starts.
Can kids play?
Yes. We built the game for ages 7 and up. The prompts are written so that younger players can participate fully — not just sit there while the adults do something over their heads. Kids are often the funniest players at the table.
What if I can't afford the boxed game?
We'd rather see families laughing than precious about the IP. The full game is also free as a printable PDF — bring scissors and patience. Print and play at home.
Does it make a good gift?
It's one of the best gifts for families, honestly. It works for birthdays, holidays, reunions — any occasion where a group of people are going to end up in the same room. The box looks great, the price is right, and it's the kind of thing people actually play instead of putting on a shelf.
