What Do You Meme? is a humorous party card game from Jerry Media in which players propose caption cards as a match to a designated photo (or meme) card. The judge of the round chooses the caption that they think is the best match to photo card, and whoever played that card gets a point. The name of the game refers to internet memes and is a play on the phrase what do you mean. The game has been compared to Cards Against Humanity.[1] The game was created by Elliot Tebele and Ben Kaplan in 2016. It was launched on Kickstarter on June 14, 2016, and it exceeded its goal of $10,000.[2] The following year, in 2017, it was the 9th best selling game on Amazon.[3]

Gameplay

[edit]

The game comes with 75 photo cards and 360 caption cards. Intended for between three and twenty people at once, the game requires players to choose a caption card to match a given photo card. A judge, called "The Jerry", chooses the funniest caption card out of all those submitted during that round, and whoever had submitted it is the champion of the round.[4] What Do You Meme sells themed expansion packs.[4] The game has partnered with various brands to launch expansion packs such as the SpongeBob SquarePants Family Edition.[5]
