A Co Derry couple has made a leap into a $12billion market with a drinking game set to put friendships in the hot seat.
Asheline McCloskey and her fiancé Jack O' Connor have ditched the typical trivia card games for more personal questions in an entertaining new game that reveals who is “unworthy” of your friendship.
Over the past 14 months, outside of their day jobs and caring for their toddler, the couple created 'UNWORTHY', a card-based game with a unique difference - the game uses players’ own lives for a hilarious drinking experience.

Asheline said: "It's so easy to get stuck in a rut of talking about the same old stuff, so we wanted to create a game that would help people break out of it and create fresh opportunities to bond and to learn new things about each other.
"The idea is to test your friends, family or partner on how much they actually know about you, with light-hearted but personal questions that only your closest allies would know the answer to."
Statista estimates the worldwide tabletop games sector will be worth $12billion by 2023, and UNWORTHY hopes to capture attention in the market with a product that will set them apart.
The game – which is for 2 or more players and has an 18+ rating – consists of 300 cards, including surprise action cards to keep players on their toes.
Asheline continued: "It’s a fun and revealing way to get a conversation going while enjoying drinks with friends, and because of the way we've designed the questions, you'll definitely learn something new about each other."
