Washington punter Tress Way invented a card game about farts

Washington punter Tress Way is an interesting person with an interesting card game that involves farts. Yes, you read that correctly — farts!

Way described the game to Washington writer Jake Kring-Schreifels:

My wife will be really embarrassed with this one, but I came up with a card game this season. It was really easy. You don’t want to be the last one with cards. It’s just a slow countdown, very nerve-wracking, very funny. It’s called “Who Farted?” There’s a “You Farted” card and there’s little wild [cards] in there, “Silent But Deadly,” the “Crop Dust,” super-embarrassing but everybody loves it. I love people getting together and having fun. I hope to play with [Washington] for the next 10 or 15 years, as long as they’ll have me. I really enjoy coming up with something that everybody can get together and play and have a good time.

So the card game is the opposite of Uno?

Yeah, it’s the opposite of Uno, so there’s numbered cards, 1-40, so whoever had the 40 plays a card. Then you go clockwise, so it’s 39 to the next person. If they don’t have it, they have to draw a card from someone, if they draw the 39 they play it. You go round and round until it counts down to one. But there’s wild [cards] in there, like “Whoever smelt it, dealt it,” and you get to choose two players to switch hands. It’s really a slow, funny countdown. Once you get to those last 10 cards it gets really nerve-wracking.

So the farting has no real purpose.

It’s just my family, the way I grew up, my aunts, uncles, cousins, everybody thinks farts are funny so what the heck? We set the age at eight and higher, so hopefully some parents aren’t, “Oh my gosh.”

Farts ARE funny. The suspense that builds up in the game makes it sound like a really good time and something the whole family can rally around.

If your family isn’t into farts, I suppose you could reinvent it and make it around something more “appropriate” or much less fun, like “Who Didn’t Clean Their Room?”

Add Way to the list of fun punters in the NFL. We already know about Marquette King and all of the things he does to have fun without worry about what people think about him. And we can’t forget about Brad Wing, who has been mentioned in a Nicki Minaj song.

All hail Tress Way, King of Farts.
