Ready Steady Fart is a memory game similar to an old parlor game sometimes known as "My Grandmother's Trunk." Players take turns adding items to a list in alphabetical order, and attempting to remember the entirety of the list as it gets longer. Ready Steady Fart, however, also contains a deck of cards that force the players to make changes to the alphabetical recipe, the prologue, or the order of play in midstream, making it even more difficult than the parlor game. The fart theme appears to be something of an afterthought, and has little to do with the actual game play.
