Gooey Louie is a hilarious [gross-out board game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exploding-kittens-the-board-game) that is sure to reinvent the standard family game night. The game features a "Gooey Louie" head, into which players set up 12 "gooeys" (fake boogers), a "jumping brain" and one die. Based on the roll of the die, players are required to pull out a gooey. If a player pulls out the wrong gooey, Louie will "flip his lid," and his brain will come jumping out of the head figure.

Designed to help cultivate [fine motor skills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emo) and hand-eye coordination in young children, the game is to be played with two or more people, aged four or older.

The Gooey Louie board game is made by [Goliath Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sims-board-game), who also produced 'Who Tooted' and 'Doggie Doo,' two other gross-out family games that are sure to have the whole family giggling.
