Not Under My Roof! is a fast-paced fighting game in which opponents battle their way through a building. Play cards to atack, defend, and make use of objects such as tables, chairs, brooms, and lamps. You will knock each other from room to room until somebody is thrown out of the building.

Not Under My Roof! is meant to be played while standing up and moving around. It may be easier to use use one pocket as a draw pile and another pocket as a discard pile. Once you run out of cards in your draw pile, shuffle your discard pile and switch it to the other pocket.

Each match should settle a real or made-up dispute you have with your opponent(s).

Movie quality effects such as crashes and explosions can be cheaply simulated by using the human mouth. Ham it up, show off your ridiculous action moves.
