Description Edit | History

Each player plays a character who starts the game as a teenager and then must choose the cards that will make his life take shape. He can repeat a school year and get new friends, start smoking, take part in a Bible discussion group and have his first sexual intercourse during Oktoberfest – all very realistic. Every event in the life of a character has some effect on his main characteristics - tobacco addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, wealth, health, sadness, spirituality and wisdom. Excess comes at a price, though, and when a characteristic gets too high, it cancels another one – if you smoke too much, you get thin; if you get too fat, you must stop drinking; if you drink too much you lose your wisdom, and so on – once more, very realistic. During game, you can get friends, and often more, with other player’s characters. This is an important feature in the game, since what happens to you usually affects, in good or bad, your friends, and this is one of the main interaction aspects of the game.

Description from Bruno Faidutti's ideal game library.

4 Extra card: Sex change/Geschlechtsumwandlung
I created a card to be pasted on the spare card that comes with the game. It changes the sex of your character: flip all of your player markers over to become a member of the opposite sex.

4 Funny Friends - Translated German Cards
This is the German "naughty" set of cards for Funny Friends, scanned, translated, and photoshopped into English -- for those who have this version of the game, but don't want pasteups. I also felt the translations could be a bit better. Card backs to use with all the other card files, for use with printing services such as Artscow. Posted with permission from Friedemann Friese.
