Strip Twister

From LoveToKnow BoardGames

Strip Twister is exactly what it sounds like; an adult version of the Twister game that you may have played as a child.

How the Game Is Played

There are two ways to play Strip Twister. It can be used as a party game, with a group of men and women, or it can be used as a couple’s game. Either version uses the Milton Bradley game, Twister.

Group Game

When the game is played in a large group, there is usually drinking involved. In fact, one set of rules specifies that the game not be played until the players are slightly tipsy as it will make the game last too long. The more the players have had to drink, the more difficult it will be for them to maintain their balance.

Strip Twister should be played with an equal number of men and women. The actual matches can be played with a mixed group or just one sex. This depends on the preferences of the group. Some people feel that playing with both men and women on the mat is too distracting for the players.

A person that is not playing that round should be chosen to spin the spinner and call the colors. When one person is left who hasn't fallen and has clothing still on they are declared a winner.

Couple's Game

In the couple's version of Strip Twister, one of the participants will have to be the designated spinner. This means that the spinner will need to be kept close to the person spinning it at all times. The couple can adjust the game rules to fit their preferences. The game winner will be the one who still has clothing on and has not fallen, just like in the group version of the game.

Tips for Play

If you are going to be playing Strip Twister make sure you have clean underwear on.
Decide before the game begins if jewelry will count as items of clothing.
If you become uncomfortable with the game, stop playing.
Be sure that all players are consenting adults.
If you are playing the couple's version and decide to continue the play after all clothing is removed, decide ahead of time how you will end the game and what will and will not be allowed.

If you are not very limber, you may be interested in more sedentary games like Strip Checkers or Strip Chess. You get all the fun without all the muscle strain.

Playing Strip Twister can be a fun way for adults to spend an evening. It is also a great way for couples to spice up their love life. Adjust the rules of the game to fit your own preferences and give it a spin.
