Berry Cherry Parrot Punch

A small box with a very silly name and a table full of people paying close attention.

Quick, colourful card play that teaches in a couple of minutes and plays in a few more. Flip cards from the deck, race to shout the matching colour, object, or "Punch!" when the fruits collide — hesitate and you're taking the pile. It's the sort of game that gets opened as a warm-up and then gets played four times before anyone remembers what else was on the shelf.

Exploding Kittens' answer to the classic speed-and-reflex genre, with just enough silliness in the name and art to make it an easy sell at the counter.
