Inhibited (2019)

The purpose of the game is to have fun with friends, ideally in a party setting. The game is a card version of the spin-the-bottle game that has been played at teen-ager parties for decades. It worked like this: a mix of girls and boys sat in circle on the floor. In turn, somebody spun an empty bottle in the middle of the circle. When the bottle stopped, the "spinner" kissed or slapped the cheek of the boy or girl the bottle pointed to. It never failed to get some young hormones flowing and some cheeks reddening (and not just because they had been slapped). It was an innocent enough game for innocent times.

Inhibited attempts to recreate that feeling with cards and extends the slapping/kissing to several actions. It also specifies a series of body parts, but without ever crossing the limit of decency and good taste.

A player sets up an activity between two players (e.g., Peter is to bring his nose in contact with with Paul's ear) and all players in turn can play cards to change the activity and/or the players involved; when there are no more changes, the activity that resulted from all the changes must be carried out. For example, Jane might have to rub her cheek against Peter's neck.

All players involved in an action receive points. If a player refuses to perform an action, s/he is penalised with negative points. The game ends when all 108 cards have been played or when the turn goes around the table without anybody setting up a new action. The winner is the player who has accumulated the highest number of points.

Players can play as individuals or in teams.
