About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking intergalactic adventure with Consentacle! This cooperative card game, tailor-made for two players, puts you in the shoes of a curious human and a tentacled alien during an intimate and somewhat... peculiar encounter. The challenge? To build mutual trust and satisfaction, even when verbal communication isn't an option. You'll have to decipher each other's desires, playing your cards simultaneously in hopes of creating the right combinations. Each move directly impacts 'Trust' and 'Satisfaction' levels, which serve as both currency and victory points. Will you achieve a stellar connection that leaves you both exhausted from pleasure, or will the night end with a lingering 'wanting more'? The beauty of Consentacle lies in its simplicity and the depth of interaction it provides. With very little text on the cards, memorization is easy, allowing you to focus on the essential: the connection between you. It's a quick game, perfect for those seeking a unique, mature, and nuanced experience, exploring themes of romance and consent in a completely new way. If you enjoy card games with a cooperative twist and simultaneous selection mechanics, and aren't afraid to explore more mature themes, Consentacle might be your next big discovery. It's one of those hidden gems that proves board games can be intimate, challenging, and incredibly fun.
