Boozanga!: The Ice-Breaking, Shell-Shattering Card Game Bringing People Together—One Drink at a Time

From a chance party moment to a wedding—and now, a full-fledged card game—Boozanga! is a drinking game with heart, humor, and a whole lot of connection. This brightly colored, joy-sparking drink or dare game was built to turn strangers into friends and nights out into stories worth telling.

At the helm of this fun-first concept is Brandon David, founder of Goin Out Games. A social butterfly with a deep passion for face-to-face connection, Brandon saw a gap in the way people interact in today’s digital-first world—and decided to fill it with laughter, curiosity, and a little booze-fueled chaos.

A Party, A Game, A Marriage

The origin story? It starts, fittingly, at a party. One night, a buddy of Brandon’s began playing an early version of Boozanga! with a girl he’d just met. One game turned into a conversation, which turned into a connection—and now? They’re married. That same friend eventually became Brandon’s co-creator, and the spark of Boozanga! became a full flame.

Brandon designed the game to be casual, enticing, and memorable—a card-based alternative to stacking blocks that encourages people to let loose and have real, unfiltered conversations. There’s a version for everyone, from singles to couples in long-term relationships, all designed to break the ice and spark connection.

From Beer Clubs to Bright Ideas

Brandon’s passion for social events goes way back. Before likes, swipes, and comments were the norm, he loved dreaming up creative ways to get people talking—really talking. Inspired by a monthly charity beer club called Thursday Night Drinking Club, he began envisioning a more intentional way to merge play, connection, and purpose.

The result? Goin Out Games. More than just fun, these games are a platform for authentic connection—with a charitable twist. A scannable QR code on each game leads players to real-world events and causes, encouraging a return to meaningful in-person interaction while doing some good along the way.

The Look, The Feel, The Vibe of Boozanga!

When it came to design, Brandon leaned into bright, vivid orange tones that felt fun, alive, and instantly eye-catching—especially in a bar setting. The game had to look as fun as it felt, and with Boozanga!, it definitely does.

A Seamless Production Experience

When it was time to bring Boozanga! to life, Brandon partnered with Shuffled Ink—and the experience exceeded expectations.

“We were overwhelmed with options, but the creative team I was working with said Shuffled Ink was one of the best manufacturers in the U.S.—and they were right. From intake to delivery, the communication, updates, and quality were top-notch.”

What’s Next?

With Goin Out Games up and running and Boozanga! now in the hands of happy players, Brandon is looking ahead. His mission is simple: keep creating spaces where people can connect freely and have fun—just like we used to before everything went online.

Whether you’re looking for a hilarious night out, a way to meet someone new, or a game that gives back, Boozanga! has you covered.
