"Not Safe Four Words" - think sweary adult / playground humour meets Cards Against Humanity. Create the rudest, most eyebrow-raising phrases possible from innocent-looking words. Try it. Make the filthiest phrase you can from "hobbit, birthday, orgy, secret."
In a word: swearing. In two words: swearing and being a bit naughty. Okay, that's more than two words, but you get the idea.
I love making people laugh. It puts people at ease, especially when it's at my expense. And after racking my brains for about 30 years for a way to put Michael Caine's advice into practice—that you should always have something on the go that earns you money while you sleep, like a book or a song or a movie—I finally hit upon the idea that what the world really needs right now is not clean energy or more peace, love and democracy, no. What the world so desperately needs right now is a game that will make your lover, your mother and your mates question their life choices—and yours.
Not Safe Four Words is my love letter to gloriously inappropriate humour and the beautiful chaos that ensues when you give people permission—safe behind the net curtains of their own home—to be rude, naughty and, if you feel brave enough, absolutely filthy. That's right. It's an over 18s playground-humour version of Cards Against Humanity.
Deal four cards to each player. Put the rest in the middle. Draw one from the remaining deck and place it face up. The player to the left tries to make a four-word phrase using that card and three other cards in their hand.
If you're a prude or a professor of something fancy, fear not. You can tell yourself it's a social experiment and that you're only playing it to "see what all the fuss is about". Just ignore the fact it'll have you crying with laughter and wetting yourself.
