Setting up
The game begins by taking the blank cards out of the question card deck and dealing them among the players. Each player must now write their own question, which will be used later in the game. When everyone has written their questions, the cards are collected, shuffled and set aside separately to be played later.
Now place all the Inner Goddess tokens in a pile in the centre of the table, shuffle the Standard Question Cards and place them next to the tokens. Each player receives one "Submissives" list, one "My Answer" notepad and a pen. When all the items have been handed out, players can begin filling in their "Submissives" list.
Create your 'Submissives' list
Each player must add 8 names to their list. These will be the "Submissives" in this game. See the instructions below on how best to arrange the combination of names so that the game is more interesting.
- Everyone playing should know the eight people chosen as "Submissives", and the better they know each other, the better the game will be.
- Players may add their own names to the list, but if one player does this, all the other players must also add their own names.
- The people named as "Submissives" do not have to be only friends; they may be relatives or colleagues. What matters is only that everyone knows the people included on the list.
When everyone agrees on the set of names, they can be entered into the fields. The "Submissives" list is ready.
Playing the game
Before starting the game, each player must read and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, guaranteeing that what is discussed during the game will never be revealed.
The player with the largest number of ex-partners (or the host of the game) starts first, picking up a Standard Question Card and reading it aloud. Having heard the question, all players choose one name from their "Submissives" list if they think that this person best fits the question asked, and write that name in their "My Answer" notepad.
Starting from the player who read the question and moving clockwise, players show their answers to the others by opening their notepad with the name written on it. Players are then invited to discuss the reasons why they made that particular choice. The round ends when the player who read the question reveals their own answer.
Winning tokens
- If your answer matches the host's answer, you earn one token.
- If you are the only player whose answer matched, you earn an additional token.
- If you are the player whose name was in the majority of answers (even if it did not match the host's answer), you take one token for yourself.
This gives players the chance to earn tokens after every question, depending on the choices of the other players and on the choice of the player reading the question.
After the first round is over and all the tokens have been distributed, the player sitting to the left of the host becomes the host and reads the next question, opening a new round. The game continues until a winner is determined.
'Twitchy Palms' Question Cards
If a player draws a card marked "Twitchy Palms", this should fuel their excitement, because it doubles the number of tokens earned in that round. For example, if you have won two tokens, you may take four.
Player's Own' Question Cards
During the game, the player reading the question may choose to read aloud not a Standard Question Card but one of the cards that were written by the players. The answering players do exactly the same. Each player may do this only once during the game, and the identity of the author of the question must not be revealed!
Winning the game
There are two ways to win this game:
- Be the first player to collect 20 tokens.
- Or collect the largest number of tokens by the time they run out on the table.
Quick guide
- An answer that matched the host's answer = 1 token.
- A player whose name was written by the reader = 1 token.
- A player named in the majority of answers = 1 token.
