The hook

Two ways to win

With two ways to win, which path will you take? Choose to play a clan card like the Hipster hamster, or combat your enemies with Attack Hamsters like Houdini! Feeling down and out? Play special actions to draw additional cards and hope the Hamster Hurricane will sweep away the competition! You’ll find that nothing is safe in Gyrating Hamsters. Well, except the Gyrating Hamster!

Gyrating Hamsters — Unadopted Version (Adults Only) game box

Unadopted Version

Ages 18+

Little known is the darker side of the hamster world. Feast on the new collection of hamsters left “unadopted” to fend for themselves in the cruel world. In this twist on the original game, The Unadopted Version of Gyrating Hamsters is raunchy, twisted, and somewhat demented. It will leave you and your age 18+ friends howling with laughter, grimacing in disgust, and filled with shock and awe.

Made by four friends

Gyrating Hamsters was created by Alex & Rebekah Host and Andrew & Allison Gerbsch.

What started as a house-rules card game between two couples turned into a funded Kickstarter, a booth at GrandCon, and a game that reviewers kept calling the loudest table in the room.
