What is inside the Laba Party Zim deck

10,211 cards across 9 categories. Written, checked and maintained by hand.

Every card is a word plus four forbidden words for Classic mode. The list below is generated from the deck the game actually ships with, so the counts are real rather than marketing. The deck is added to regularly -- if a category feels thin, it usually will not be next month.

How cards are chosen during a round

Cards are drawn without replacement: once a word has come up it will not return until the category is exhausted and reshuffled. That is why a long session gradually gets more obscure -- the easy words are already gone.

A note on the 18+ category

It is switched off by default and hidden behind an age confirmation. It never appears in a family game unless an adult deliberately turns it on in Settings.
