A Japanese Batsu-Game Show In a Box - Perfect For Party Night

**Bring the outrageous humor of a real Japanese-American fusion game show, BATSU! Live, to your living room with BATSU! The Punishment Card Game!**

Everyone Wins, Except the Loser!

In each turn of BATSU!, one player acts as the judge while the others compete in a silly challenge. Instead of deciding who did the best, the judge decides who did the WORST and gives them a "BATSU!," which means "punishment" in Japanese.

Silly and Highly Replayable

With 20 unique challenges, 96 suggestions, and 22 punishments in the base game alone, each round of BATSU! is hilarious and unpredictable. You may rap about Ohio one round and then pretend to be an evil plumber in the next!

New Expansions, New Ways to Play

With themed expansions like the Thirsty and Kidz Packs, you can adapt BATSU! to any crowd. Whether you're challenging adults to take a drink or teaching kids to laugh off their failures, there’s a version for everyone!
