Players engage in various activities to earn Bastard Points, which increase or decrease based on the nature of their actions. The ultimate goal is to light up all sixteen characters of the phrase 'COMPLETE BASTARD' by performing sufficiently disruptive deeds. The game encourages experimentation with objects found throughout the party to achieve this goal.

With its humorous premise and unique gameplay mechanics, How to be a Complete Bastard offers an unconventional gaming experience. The game requires players to think creatively and strategically to navigate social interactions and achieve their objectives, making it a memorable title from the late 1980s.
