Objective of Not Parent Approved
The objective of Not Parent Approved is to acquire the most blue cards during the game.
Setup
- Each player draws seven red answer cards. You can look at your own cards, but you shouldn’t show them to the other players.
- To determine the first “Burp Boss” each player burps. It can either be a real or fake burp. The player who wins gets to be the first Burp Boss.
Playing Not Parent Approved
To begin each round of Not Parent Approved the Burp Boss draw a blue question card. They will read out loud the question printed on the card.
All of the other players then look through the red cards in their hand. They are looking for the card that they think best fits the question. There is no criteria for what card you pick. You can pick the card that makes the most sense or you can pick the silliest card which will get the loudest laugh. Once you have picked your card, you will slide it face down to the Burp Boss. They should not look at the card.
Choosing a Winning Card
Once everyone (outside of the Burp Boss) has chosen a card, the Burp Boss shuffles all of the red cards without looking at them.
The Burp Boss first reads the question on the blue card. They will then read each red card.
After the Burp Boss has read all of the cards, they will choose the red card that they liked the most. If they want they can also choose the second and third best answers.
The player who submitted the red card that was chosen as the best, takes the blue question card from the current round. They will set it aside as it is worth a point at the end of the game.
Starting the Next Round
Before you start the next round, all of the red cards used in the current round are discarded. Each player who played a red card draws a new card to replace it.
The player to the left/clockwise of the current Burp Boss, becomes the Burp Boss in the next round.
Winning Not Parent Approved
The players will keep playing the game for as long as they want. To be fair to all of the players, it is recommended that all players are the Burp Boss the same number of rounds.
All of the players will count up how many blue cards they collected during the game. The player with the most blue cards wins the game.

The game is very similar to a lot of other party games where the players play a card to fit a prompt. With success of games like Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity, this has become a very popular genre for party games.
