Potato! – The hottest party game of the year (literally)
Got the Potato!? Then think fast, spit out a sensible answer, and pass it on quickly! Because if you wait too long... your friends will corner you. Potato! is the perfect board game to break the ice , laugh together, and liven up evenings with family or friends.
It's explained in a minute: draw a Sauce card, choose one of the two categories, give an answer, and pass the Potato to another player. If you're slow, take a Patakka card . If you say something stupid and everyone shouts "Patata!", take the Patakka. And guess what? Whoever has the least at the end wins.
Why Patata! is a bomb for your table
- Up to 99 players: ideal for large groups and parties
- Very quick to explain and even quicker to get going
- You'll laugh even with your aunt who never understands the rules
- Perfect for all ages, ages 10 and up
- A perfect mix of readiness, imagination and chaos
Who said you need hours of explanations to have fun? With Patata!, all you need is a potato, two categories, and a willingness to challenge yourself. A patakka today, a laugh tomorrow. But be careful: potatoes are more stinging than awkward questions at Christmas.
🐸 Froggers say: more than a party game… it's a friendship test disguised as a vegetable.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. The potato is hot. And you have to speak up.
In Patata!, there's no time to think: when the potato arrives in your hand, you have a few seconds to answer out loud to a category (like "Yellow Stuff" or "DC Superheroes"). But be careful: if you hesitate too long... you'll get burned! The potato is unforgiving.
2. Whoever makes a mistake scores points. But that's not good news.
If you get stuck, repeat something already said, or give an incorrect answer, you lose the battle and get the theme card : it contains 1 to 3 points, depending on the difficulty. And in Patata!, points don't make you win. They make you lose.
3. A quick game, a beautiful anxiety.
The game is played over 10 rounds of fire (literally), with the tension building as the hands get faster and the responses more absurd. The winner is the player with the fewest points at the end of the game, so the goal is clear: don't make a fool of yourself. Or at least make fewer than the others.
4. A party game that starts right away and works with everyone.
The rules are explained in 30 seconds and can be played by any group, from 2 to 99 players , making it perfect for dinner parties, birthday parties, family reunions, or evenings with friends. All it takes is a little quick thinking, a dash of creativity... and a willingness to panic.
5. Made in Italy, with a Ghenos heart.
Patata! is an all-Italian game by Ghenos Games, simple yet brilliant, that works because it triggers genuine laughter and memorable moments. In a small box, there's a concentration of rhythm, words, adrenaline, and chaos. What are you waiting for? Pass the potato!

It's an irresistible party game, designed for small or giant groups (up to 99 people!) , where the rules can be explained in a minute, but the laughs go on for hours.
Perfect for families, friends, coworker nights or gamer gatherings looking to break the ice in style .
The party game that can be explained in 10 seconds (and played all night)
Patata! is a family board game and party game in Italian , published by Ghenos Games, designed for 2 to 99 players .
The rules are simple: you receive an imaginary potato (or a real one, if you're daring), immediately answer a randomly chosen question, and toss it to another player. If you hesitate or get it wrong, you take the card and the points—and in the game Potato!, whoever has the most points... loses!
With its original “hot potato” mechanic and instant storytelling, Patata! is perfect for group laughs, moments of lightheartedness, and memorable evenings .
A quick, intuitive board game, perfect to give as a gift or to bring to a dinner with friends .
We played it… and now we're passing potatoes like ninjas 🐸
We tried it with a group of 6, then 10, then 20… and each time it was a riot of laughter. Patata! is one of those games that takes less time to explain than it takes to laugh the first time .
It works wonderfully with friends and family, even those who have never played a board game before . It's brilliant in its simplicity, and the "lowest points wins" scoring system is both surprising and fun .
At FroGames we loved it because it never takes itself seriously—just like us.
Personal advice: use a real potato. The experience takes it to the next level. 🥔💣
