That game looked several times more interesting once I looked at the cards, as the theme did very little for me.

I am not sure what is to stop two players in a three player game from just winning together in three turns.

I feel like these designers focus more on creating quick games that will appeal to college kids playing in their dorms or at parties than like actual good game design? Like I think Apples to Apples is better than CAH in the long run (I've described my issue with CAH earlier in this thread) and this game looks like it'd get boring quick unless you're constantly changing up the play group.

Well, the game is listed as 4-8. I think the problem might persist in 4 player games as well, while beyond that it could be stopped through a threesome.
I think the game has premise as a quick deduction filler game, although I'm not entirely sure if the game has enough information passed around to make it intriguing enough.

Honestly, the game is meant to be silly and a little shocking, but what if you changed the theme and made your own cards? I think there is the chance for a great concept, just not its current one.
