Not Parent Approved is a fun social card game for the tweens set. Played either between parents and kids or just amongst friends, this game serves an important purpose, despite it’s decidedly “non-educational” exterior. It is at this age that tweens are often shying away from toys, and instead favoring on-screen apps and activities. This card game helps them reconnect to some more social person to person play that still feels a bit edgy and current. Everything in the card set is geared to make the tween feel at home, beginning with the title itself. What child can resist a game called “Not Parent Approved” and yet is also clearly safe enough to play? The instruction booklet is simple enough, and even helps you pick who goes first by burping proficiency! Each hand takes about fifteen minutes to play, and so the timing and portability factor are also in its favor. Play it in the car, while waiting at a restaurant, or with a bunch of friends at home. The game itself is rather simple, having you connect beginning phrases with ending ones in humorous ways, and is kind of like a junior version of “Cards Against Humanity.” It is relatively tame, offering more gross-out humor, silliness, and occasional discomfort rather than anything too overtly offensive. Just enough to keep you giggling and groaning and dealing out your next hand.
