Crappy Birthday is the simplest of the party games designed by North Star Games. The goal was to create the perfect game to bring as a gift to a party. Crappy Birthday can be opened at a house full of non-gamers, and have people playing the game and laughing within a minute.

Crappy Birthday will get people talking and laughing quickly. Many of the gift are designed to have polarizing reactions from different people, so don't be surprised if one person at your table loves the gift, while another person thinks it's a horrible gift. The conversation that follows will be lively and entertaining. Sometimes it is a funny picture that will get people talking. Either way, Crappy Birthday is designed to quickly liven up the party.

How to Play
1) Deal 7 "gift" cards to each player.
2) When it is your turn, it is your birthday! Everybody gives you a bad "gift" from their hand.
3) You shuffle the cards, turn them over one by one, and pick the worst gift.
4) The player who gave you that gift gets a point.

The player with the most points at the end of 2 rounds wins.
