Well howdee partner, you’s are looking in dire need of some relief…..
Ok, so as a unique theme cowboys in need of a whizz is pretty special. But I have to say this is incredibly disappointing game and one that I feel doesn’t know who its target audience is.

Ok, so as a unique theme cowboys in need of a whizz is pretty special. But I have to say this is incredibly disappointing game and one that I feel doesn’t know who its target audience is.
Quality of Bathroom Accessories
Ok, so the cards and the cowboys are all quite amusing and of good quality thick card. But the variations are minimal as the deck itself is tiny and rather than amusing urinals standing upright hiding which urinal the players are choosing the cards lay on the floor and the cowboys lay face down over them.
I’m not great at biology but laying down whilst weeing isn’t the best idea or the funniest. The reversable cowboy meeple do make it look like they are using the urinals but then you have to move them off the cards to see what they are laying on to score.
I’d have enjoyed a stand up version more, I think. One where there was a double sided urinal that someone could pee over the top maybe? Or hidden cubicles to cause more stenchy issues.
Aiming at the porcelain
The aim is to choose your own desperate cowboy and deduct which of the urinals is safe to use that won’t involve another player peeing on you. Would be interesting but each turn you can peek (at the card not a wiener) and state what direction a card is aiming (truth/lie), swap them round or place if safely on a vacant slot…you’re going to deduce pretty quickly where to go as a result. Its truly complete luck as to whether you are player one that round and get to a safe spot first.
It states it can be played as a two player but that lasted all of 30 seconds to figure out and a three player wasn’t much better. It says 20 minutes game play….not sure how that is possible I’d be pushed to drag my thinking time out that far.
Now, if you are looking for something quick to decide who has to take the bins out or feed the dog then great, it’s a handy card game that won’t take time to set up or end. But I just expected more playability. Rather than laughing about tinkling on someone I felt more like there was backsplash on my favourite shoes
Younger players
Hate to say it, but my son had no interest in playing this again. It went hastily back into the box and put on the shelf. Even the call of urine related humour couldn’t hold his attention and he’s nine – lets face it any form of evacuation is amusing at that age!
The box says it’s for players aged 6+ and yet the instructions refer to pee by the P**s word which will put a lot of parents off. The format, ease of play and cartoon figures do seem like it should appeal to the young’uns but it offers nothing to keep them interested after one round.
Rootin’ Tootin’ or Flush Away the Pong
I think this game has got some redeeming qualities, quick play set up etc but I think maybe a rethink about the audience it aims for. If it clarifies if its for kids then make it more interesting with more parts to move or consequences and less swears in the instructions. If its adults then make it more complicated or a longer play. Kids will love the desperate looks on the card figures but there is nothing to link that player with anything further once they have picked a urinal.
This cowboy will mosey along to the next town…..
