Payback is the ultimate party card game where sabotage isn't just encouraged – it’s required. Strategy, chaos, and blind luck collide in this wild race to get rid of all your cards.


Easy enough for your drunk uncle to learn, strategic enough to make your smartest friend cry. This isn’t just a card game, it’s a vendetta in a box.




Big, Bold, Built for Chaos

58 premium, tall cards built to survive spills, tantrums, and tequila.

At 2.7" x 3.9", we might be overcompensating. But your hands will thank us.



Sleek Ergonomic Design

High-quality magnetic box. Small enough to travel. Elegant enough to be displayed on grandma’s coffin.


No Brain? No Problem.

Instagram cooked our attention spans too.

That’s why we made Payback playable with less focus than a goldfish after a triple espresso shot.


Rules So Simple They Fit On The Box

We took timeless classics ‘Shithead’ & ‘Palace’ and mutated it into the most brutal card game you’ve ever played.


Learn in 60 seconds. Or just scan the QR code for our how-to video, because reading is for nerds.




Unique MS Paint Art

Crafted with the precision of a sleep-deprived kindergartener and the passion of a meme lord. Yes, Karel drew all of it in MS Paint.



Crazy Game Modes

Roulette Mode is the most intense emotional rollercoaster. Play cards from your hand, or flip blind cards until you reach the center. We also have drinking and gambling modes for all of you degenerates out there.







The NSFW Degenerate version is the unhinged older cousin, where the cards are ranked after degenerate decisions in a race to make it back alive from the wildest night ever: Uncle Ronnie’s bachelor party. 


This will make The Hangover look like Little Miss Sunshine, and your goal is to make it through the night in one piece. Whoever can get rid of their cards and make it home safe and sound, wins!


The card back and mechanics will stay the same, so you can play with 12 people with the base deck.


It’s all the cards from the base game re-imagined in an Art Deco / Great Gatsby / BioShock style.


Gold foil on special cards. Silver foil on number cards. 

All that combined with a matte black background to increase the contrast in shininess.


Design isn’t final. Some elements might change (but you get the idea).




Have you ever wished you had superpowers during a game? 

Welcome to the Magical Realm of Payback. Here, each player starts with an extra spell that they can cast anytime during the game.


Keep these hidden from your opponents, activate anytime, and discard after use.


Because the main game is already perfectly balanced, these cards are handled separately. You simply shuffle the spell cards at the start of the game and distribute 1 card to each player. (Spell cards have their own discard pile)


Once you have mastered a game with 1 spell each, try 2 spells each... and see how chaotic it gets.



Dark Wizard. This pack is strategic because old wiz is not very flexible. You'll get to see your opponents' cards, your face-down cards... But you'll also get to "Wingardium Leviosa" the face-up cards of the other players. Use some black magic to resurrect the discard pile into an army of zombies.



Mystery pack comes with... mysterious cards. A lot of weird events tend to happen when this deck is played. You might wake up in the "upside-down" where numbers go down instead of up. Your seats might be switched... while your hand stays the same.



The NSFW pack will make your friends blush, roll their eyes, or simply pick up the pile to avoid the embarrassment of calling you "Daddy". This is truth or dare with consequences.
