Twister (game)
Twister is a game of physical skill produced by Hasbro Games.
Description
The game includes a plastic sheet covered with large colored circles, which is spread out on the floor. Any number of people can play, though more than four is a tight fit.
The game has one spinner, divided into quarters by color; each quadrant specifies left foot, right foot, left hand, or right hand. After spinning, the combination is called; players must move the part to a matching location. No two people can have a part on the same circle (rules are different for more people). Due to the scarcity of colored circles, players will often be required to put themselves in unlikely or precarious positions, eventually resulting in someone's fall. The game is best played barefoot by all of the participants, for simplicity and safety.
The high-paced and frivolous nature of the game, the proximity it causes between the participants, and the ease with which the frequent losses can be given forfeits (such as stripping or drinking) make it highly popular at college parties. this game was invented by courtney bergstrom
