Desfasa2, the card game for pregames and parties
Desfasa2 is a drinking and party card game for friends. Every card is a different mini-game: draw one, read it out loud and play it. It’s free to play on your phone, with nothing to download, and works just as well with five friends as with twelve.
What is Desfasa2?
Desfasa2 is a deck of mini-games made to break the ice and get the pregame going. Instead of playing the same game all night, every card brings a new one: a tongue twister, a staring contest, a rule for the rest of the game, or a power you keep until someone else draws the same card.
The website works as the deck, so you don’t need physical cards. Pass the phone around, each player taps to reveal their card, and the app tells you what to do.
How to play
- Open desfasa2.com on your phone and tap “Play”.
- Pick a deck (the classic one is unlocked) and, if you like, add the players’ names so the app shows whose turn it is.
- On your turn, tap the card to flip it and read its name and instructions out loud.
- Play the mini-game, move on to the next card and pass the phone along.
- Stop whenever you want: you don’t need to finish the deck.
The cards
The classic deck has 55 cards and 14 mini-games. Some are over in seconds, like Waterfall or Medusa; others give you a power you keep, like Heaven or the Thumb Master; and Make a Rule adds rules that stack until the end of the game. There’s also a Summer Edition with games like Shark Alert, High Tide and Totem.
Read the official rules of each one in all the cards and their rules.
Who it’s for
Groups of friends looking to liven up a pregame, a birthday, a holiday house or a game night. We recommend 5 to 12 players, although many cards work with fewer. It’s for adults only and plays just as well with non-alcoholic drinks.

Collection, packs and Premium
Playing the classic deck is free. You can also open packs to collect cards and special versions (rare, gold, holographic…), which only change how a card looks, never what it does. Complete a collection and its deck unlocks. Premium lets you build your own decks with your own cover, and your own word lists for The Spy.
