Hachette Book Group Spicy Pickles Adults-Only Party Game – Ignite Fun & Conversation

Spicy Pickles from Ridley’s is the fiery party game that’ll get grown-ups talking!

How well do you truly know your friends? Your partner? Your lover? Do you know their innermost thoughts? Their deepest, darkest desires? Or simply how they’re navigating the sweet and the sour of adult life? Well, you’re about to.

There are over 180 potentially heated topics across three categories: Risky Business, Icky Bits, and After Dark. With everything from quickies, pole dancing, and PDA to kinks, preferences, and positions, this game is guaranteed to spark some interesting conversation. It’s definitely NSFW. Unless that’s your kink, of course. We’re not here to shame.

This fast-paced party game is often frantic, sometimes shocking, and always a jarful of fun. As you play, things can get heated, and everyone will certainly be a lot closer by the end. Made for friends, partners, and lovers who want to learn more about each other … or think they know everything already! Spicy Pickles is suitable for adults only, 3–8 players (or more if you’re in teams), and takes around 20 minutes to play.

At Ridley’s Games, we like to make Good Clean Fun that’s as kind to the planet as it can be, so this game is printed on FSC paper with soy inks, the box is made using 30% recycled materials, and the whole thing is recyclable.

How to Play: It’s easy to learn and simple to play; just say it, rate it, and grab it!
Take the lead and draw a card from over 180 topics, then say your selection aloud. Now, instinctively and secretly rate how you feel about it–Sour, So-So, or Sweet–then put on your best poker face as the other players try to guess your rating. After all, how well do they know you, really?
This is where things can get heated. When everyone’s ready, you all flip over your Rating cards at the same time. If any players match your rating, then the race is on for them to grab your Topic card and win the point!
Once that madness is over and the disbelieving chat about your rating subsides (“Uh, sorry, but you’ve definitely asked me to try that in the past!”), then the player on your left takes the lead, so you’re in the grabbing game now.
The honesty and tension will continue until one player collects seven Topic cards and is crowned the winner!

Who It’s For: Friends who are game for a laugh, partners who want to get closer, and lovers who fancy some fun. It’s also ideal for bachelorette parties! But maybe save it for when the in-laws have gone to bed.

What’s Inside: 186 Topic cards, 24 Rating cards, and English instructions.
