Twister


Twister

The ideal free love hippy game where you could entangle yourself with as many other people as humanly possible, all in the name of good clean fun.

When Milton Bradley first released Twister in 1966, some argued it was like selling 'sex in a box'. But perhaps that's why it became a household name.

There are many variations on the rules of Twister, but in the original version the referee spins the spinner, then calls out the body part and the colour that the arrow points to. For example, the referee may call out: 'Right hand, red'. All players, at the same time, must then try to follow the referee's directions. If you fall down, you're out.

What a way to make friends.
