Sowas fragt man nicht!

Simple or simply awkward?

To answer or to refuse to answer and pass - you have to select the right moment for passing up on answering, because if you refuse to answer too often, you incur a penalty. 110 cards each carry one easy and one awkward question, e.g. Have you once tried to acquire another person’s password? as an easy question, and In what kind of situation have you been ashamed of your partner? as an awkward question. Another card example: Have you already at one time tried to contact an acquaintance via the internet, using a fake identity? and Have you ever had the wish to change your gender?.

For a game, all players decide together which category to use and then decide on the penalty for the loser; it should not be a run-of-the-mill one, be a bit creative! Then, every player takes two chips of a color. The current active player reads a question in the chosen category to his neighbor, who decides to answer or to pass. If you answer, nothing happens, you are allowed to lie, by the way, the questioned player becomes the next active player; if you pass, you discard one of your chips. If you pass for the third time, you have no chip anymore and have lost the game and must resolve the previously selected penalty.  

Well, the mechanics are well-known and have been used in many party and communications games. However, that kind of games is always very well liked and in demand, especially with young adults, and, fortunately, there are enough curious, indiscreet and awkward questions that can be printed on the cards. If you like those kind of games, you will have fun with this one, too - despite and also because one should not be asking such questions.
