About this game

In the words of its designer, Consentacle is: a cooperative card game for two players; that represents consensual sexual encounter between a curious human and a tentacled alien; where the players have to figure out how to build trust and do sexual things with each other, even if they can’t communicate easily. User summary: Partners try to build card combinations via simultaneous plays. "Trust" and "Satisfaction" are the currency and victory points of Consentacle, which are earned and/or lost based on card combinations.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
