Mini-Game) If you can correctly guess the exact number of action cards in another player's hand, steal all of them. The player with the most cards in their hand by your next turn wins. (If any players are tied, try again.) If no other players can change the number of cards in the players hand, they are the Muffin Time winner!

Mini-Game) Tell another player 1 truth and 1 lie. If they cannot tell which is which, they discard 3 cards. To win Muffin Time you have to have exactly 10 cards in your hand, announce “Muffin Time” and still have 10 cards in your hand at the beginning of your next turn to bask in the glory. Sounds simple, and, certainly, the concept is. Like in the Muffin Time core game and Pie Flavour expansion, Action cards are plentiful and diverse. Actions orient around manipulating the numbers of cards people have and result in multitudes of gaining and losing. Or, they are just evil and punish a single individual. Whichever flavour you're playing, you're going to upset someone. What's more, this expansion references the ASDF elements that weren't mentioned in the previous two components of Muffin Time. Not to say that this covers every base, but it will undeniably get you singing again! Trap cards are placed face-down which another player can flip over, read it out, and negatively affect them, they can be used once per turn. Trap cards don't count to the total of cards a player has. Only three trap cards can be active at a time.I will add, although it is anarchic fun, tactics do come into play. These have to be coupled with a reactive strategy that changes with the game. You also have to read cards carefully as their full usefulness may not be apparent unless you interpret them correctly. To this end, the rules state that if something isn’t covered in the rules, players should ‘argue about it until a majority of players agree on an outcome, try not to resort to violence.' Which gives a good account of the vibe of Muffin Time. I will add, although it is anarchic fun, tactics do come into play.

If you are unfamiliar with Desmond the Moon Bear, Mine Turtle, Skateboard Cow and the Kid Who Likes Trains, then you probably don’t know Mr Muffin either. Although only appearing a few times in the asdfmovies (pronounced ass-duff), Mr Muffin went on to feature in an annoyingly catchy song elaborating on how he just wants to be eaten and die. He also has put his name to the brand new card game from Big Potato Games in conjunction with the asdfmovie team – Muffin Time. Asdfmovie, created by Thomas ‘TomSka’ Ridgewell, has been making people giggle for over a decade. And now that high-energy randomness has escaped the small screen and invaded your game night in Muffin Time! Muffin Time’s whole theme is the ASDF movies. Ridiculous inanities, light (and sometimes dark) humour, and a charming aesthetic to it all. None of it is offensive, all of it is silly. And, being blunt, you don’t need to have seen them to appreciate the game’s visuals.

asdfmovie, created by Thomas 'TomSka' Ridgewell, has been making people giggle and guffaw for over a decade and now that high-energy randomness has escaped the small screen and invaded your game night. Trap cards can be used to make other players discard cards due to an action they do. Some trap cards have alternate versions of each other, so it can be good or bad. Muffin Time Game features Desmond the Moon Bear, Mine Turtle, Skateboard Cow, The Kid Who Likes Trains and of course, Mr Muffin himself in hilarious sketches found on all cards throughout the game. For those that need more of an introduction, you are obviously not one of the 11million viewers of the asdfmovie complete collection on YouTube. All 12 episodes can be viewed in under 23 minutes, so you haven’t got much of an excuse not to watch TomSka’s creation.
