Game Play:
Turn on Gassy Gus using the
switch on the base of the chair. Place Gus in the
centre of the playing area. Give each player 2 belly-
buster soda cards (if playing with less than 4 players,
the extra soda cards can be put to the side). Shuffle the
food cards and deal 5 to each player. Players should hold
their food cards in their hand so that other players cannot
see them. The remaining food cards are placed face down
and become a draw pile.
The youngest player starts by placing a food card from
their hand on Gus’s tray. That player pumps Gus’s head the
number of times shown on the played food card. This will
inflate Gus’s belly. If Gus does not “pass gas”, play moves
to the next player to the left. That player plays a food card
from their hand onto the tray and pumps Gus the required
number of times.
Pumping:
A “pump” is when Gus’s head is pulled all
the way up and then pressed all the way down so that
you hear a click as Gus chews his food. If a player
does not take a full pump, that pump should not be
counted and that player must pump again.
Passing gas:
If Gassy Gus farts during
a player’s turn, they must draw 2 extra
cards from the draw pile and add them
to their hand.
Belly-buster soda cards:
At any time during another player’s turn any
opponent can play a belly-buster soda card, by
placing it on Gus’s tray. This adds 3 pumps to the
a food card that has just been played. For example,
if player A plays their pizza food card (2 pumps) and
player B plays a belly-buster soda card, player A will
have to pump Gus 5 times.
Only 1 belly-buster soda card may be played at a time (so
the maximum extra pumps will only ever be 3). Each player
gets 2 soda cards per game, each of which can only be
played once and after they have been played they cannot
be replenished.
Winning the game:
The first player to play all
their food cards that they had in their hand wins (belly-
buster soda cards do not count as food, so do not have
to be played). Please note that when a player plays their
final card, they still have to pump Gus the required
number of times. If they make Gus pass gas, they
must still draw 2 cards and play continues.
