The Offensive Band Name Generator is a party game for 3 to 20 players. The object of the game is to score the most points by creating clever, funny and fitting band names. The game is played with each player being dealt a number of "Word" cards, each card contains four different words that can be used to construct a band name. Players may use as many words as they wish when creating their band names. The first player announces a preset goal. For example, "Heavy Metal or Hip-Hop", "Perverted", "Food and Drink", "Offensive", etc. All players then create a band name they feel best fits the current theme. For example, if the theme was "Science Fiction" you may players play band names like "Robot Death Weasel", "Oprah's Black Hole", "Martian Ghetto Punks", or "Hairy Alien Concubines". The game is designed to create as much hilarity as possible, but may be offensive to some depending on the word combinations chosen. Players then vote on who they feel generated the most fitting band name. This player wins the Theme List and one point. Players then draw new cards for the next round. Play continues for 10 rounds, the player who has the most points at the end of the last round is the winner.
