The Sheets and Giggles game  is an adult-oriented party game in which players describe outrageous words and phrases, act them out, give one-word hints and then act them out again under a sheet. The words and phrases on the printed playing card are typically deemed inappropriate, offensive, or risqué. In addition to the cards, the game includes a large piece of fabric approximately 92” by 92” and printed instructions. The game originated from a Kickstarter campaign in 2019. Some say that this game is to the icebreaker game sometimes known as fishbowl, what Cards Against Humanity is to Apple to Apples.

Development
The Sheets and Giggles Game was derived from a game often called fishbowl where all the players each write their own ideas on pieces of paper. The pieces of paper are put into a bowl to be used in all three rounds. Through various game nights among the developers’ friends, a fourth round was added with the use of a sheet. While the game concept was not new, the uniqueness came from the pre-developed cards to be used in the game and the adult humor used in the game. The team spent 2 years creating the cards for the game.

The game was financed with a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The campaign started on April 23, 2019 and ended on May 23, 2019. It achieved its goal of $10,000 within the 29 days.

Game play
The game cards are divided into three categories depicted by the number of olives on each card. One-olive cards are defined to have a PG-13 rating, two-olive cards are defined as Rated R and three-olive cards are defined to have X Rating. To start the game, the group can decide which types of cards they want to play with. Each player is provided about 15 cards to look at and they select 5 cards they want used in the game. Without sharing the cards with each other, they each put their 5 cards on the table, in a bowl or in the box lid. All cards are used by both teams and all cards are used in all four rounds of game play.

They divide into two teams to play the game. According to the instructions, each team chooses their least favorite person to keep score and time. The players in the game are called Sheet Heads. To play the game, each Sheet Head gets a 60-second turn to try to get their team members to guess as many cards as possible using the rule for the round. Once a card is drawn, it must either be guessed correctly or returned to the pile when the time expires. Teams take turns guessing cards and alternating players in their own defined order.

Each round ends after all the cards are guessed correctly. To start the next round, the cards should be reshuffled, and game play continues where the team order left off in the last round.


 * Round one is called Sheet Talking and the player works to get their teammates to guess the word or phrase on the card by giving clues without saying any part of the word on the cards.
 * Round two is called Be Charade, Be Very Charade and is like the game charades where the player must get their team to guess the clue by acting.
 * Round three is called The S-Word where the player must get their team to guess the clue by only saying one word like the game Taboo.
 * Round four is called Sheet Show and like all other rounds, using the same cards, must get their teammates to guess the card while they are acting it out under the sheet provided with the game.

The teams get 1 point for each card guessed right and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. The rules for Sheets and Giggles Game are flexible and can be altered with many house rules.
