Color Echo
One partner says items in a category — colours, numbers, emotions — and the other echoes each back in any way they like; then swap; then either may start. Simple, the manual says, and it has kicked its author into deep moments of shared reality. Variations move into telepathy, mirrored movement, and one that asks players to make it sexier.
- The 'make it sexier' variation changes what is being played; offer it to a room that has chosen it
