BUNCH OF BUTTS
 
Bunch of Butts is the cheeky, shouty out card game - and it’s butt loads of fun!

Find matching butts, shout them out and collect the cards, but watch out for the ‘Silent Butt Deadly' card. Flip them over so the letters ‘BUN’  ‘CH’ ‘OF’ ‘BU’  ‘TS’ are showing, shout it out first and you’ve won. Oh, and did we mention the spank card? Pull this from the deck and it’s a race against all the other players to slap the squishy butt.
Bunch of Butts was originally conceived as a pack of hilarious cards and we added the soft squishy butt to really crack things up a notch… oh! We meant crank - think we might’ve gone a bit butt barmy here…

FONDLE
 
Get hands-on for some festive fun this Christmas season, with a cheeky game of Fondle.

Standing on coloured footprints adorned with matching glasses, players take it in turns to spin the wheel and re-enact the task that the arrow lands on, whether it is hand on red bum or left foot on banana.
While that may seem simple enough, the heat is on if you land on ‘Fondle’, with a forfeit of your choice to follow. Before long you may find yourself taking a shot, stripping off, kissing the person to your left, clucking like a chicken, mooing like a cow or doing a little dance.
Whether you opt for clothes, underwear or for the more daring, naked, Fondle can be played your way and with up to four players. Open up the fun this festive season and share in the excitement.
