## Description
Shoulders is that party game that turns your table into a battlefield of taps and laughter. The mission? Count from 1 to 21 in sequence, but with a twist: each number can become a crazy mini-rule (like '7 now requires crossed-arm pointing'). The secret lies in shoulder taps — left passes to the left, right to the right — and rule cards that flip the game upside down every round. Hesitate for more than 3 seconds or make a mistake? Penalty card for you. Three strikes and you're out! The last survivor (or whoever has the fewest penalties) wins. Expect yelling, deliberate chaos, and that delicious 'will I remember that 12 is now a military salute?' feeling. Pro tip: don’t play this after afternoon coffee if you want peace at night.
