All you need is a regular old dart board, darts, and a way to keep score just like you would with the regular way of playing. Now the board is divided into 20 scoring areas, a green bullseye and a red bullseye (although boards may vary in color). In this case, the scores 1-20 represent minutes of tickling. So the first person to say close out 3 "7's", gets to tickle their oponent for 7minutes and so on for each score. The green is 30min and the red bullseye is one whole hour of tickling. Now if this is too intense for some, minutes can be changed into seconds. Also, each time score, can be assigned a body part i.e. 1,5,10,15,20=armpits, 2,6,11,16=thighs etc. Once again, as always, this can be tailored to fit each couple's individual suits and preferences.

This is a very fun mutual tickling game, meant ideally as a "starter". It does require some preparation.... and is a true test of mental (not to mention physical!!) wills, as it involves mild restraint of both partners while the tickling occurs.

HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED:

Take our two player, Erik and Mere. Erik stands at one end of the sofa, Mere at the other. Erik proceeds to tie his left wrist, to the leg of the sofa so that when he sits in the middle, his wrist is tied and arm stretched out securely.. (thus exposing his entire left side.) Mere does the same thing with her right wrist, then sits beside Erik..her right side exposed. They both proceed to wrap their arms around the other's waist, and the tickling ensues. The restraints should be taught enough so that the only place movement is possible, is towards the side of the sofa that your arm is tied to. Of course, the first person to move that way, and protect themselves is the loser, and has to be tied up in any way specified by the victor. This is particularly brutal for those of us whose most ticklish regions are bellies, armpits, ribs, waists, etc.

MEMORY

This is a game that I sort of "developed" with the help of an unsuspecting friend!! LOL It's a lot of fun, and is IDEAL for situations where there hasn't been any previous tickling in the relationship.. i.e. like say ohhh on a first date, WHICH IS HOW THIS GAME WAS CREATED!! ; )

HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED:

Very simple. The first "contestant" has to put their feet in the lap of the game "host". (if feet aren't ticklish or desired, other body parts can be substituted.) The "host" then comes up with a phrase, for instance: "A discouraging mind, bears witness to the soul of the multi-timbral stream of consciousness." It has to be something that is not easily remembered, but at the same time, something that DOES make some sense! It may be necessary for the "host" to write the phrase down. After the phrase is uttered, the "contestant" has to repeat it, word for word, without a pause. This is where the fun begins. At the VERY first pause, or mispoken word, tickling begins. The "contestant" HAS to leave their feet in the "host's" lap, and get tickled. The laughter constitutes a break, and they have to begin all over again, and the tickling or "round" isn't over, until the "contestant" repeats the entire phrase word for word, without a pause. This is hilarious, because the emphasis becomes not to get tickled, instead of, remembering the phrase exactly! One note, if it is a first time tickle... I would advise to go light.. and not attempt to really tickle torture the poor "contestant"!

The cheap-and-easy way to do this game is to write various body parts down on one set of index cards and to write various numbers (1-10, for instance) on another set of cards.

Of course, it's important that the writing not show through on the other side. :)

The classier, arts and crafts way to make the game (for all the budding Martha Stewarts out there) is to create two game boards.

Both game boards should be square pieces of cardboard with plastic arrow pointers fastened to the middle of each.

(You will probably need two little brass rings to put into the center holes to make sure the arrows really spin around well.)

Then, draw two big circles in the middle of the squares.

These circles will be divided into pie wedges.

(This is the part where you can decorate as much as you want, by making each wedge a different color, etc.)

One game board is the "time board".

Each pie wedge on the time board gets marked with a different number, say from 1-10.

The other board is the "tickle zone" board.

On each pie slice is marked a different body part (armpits, ribs, feet, backs of knees, etc.)

The job of the ticklee is to spin the dial on both boards.

If the first dial lands on "3" and the second dial lands on "ribs" , the ticklee gets a 3-minute tickling on the ribs.

In the index card version, the ticklee picks one card from each set of cards to determine where they will get tickled and for how long.

This is a really great game, because it involves an amount of silly suspense.

The ticklee thinks, "Uh-oh, where am I gonna get it now?"

Also, it's great deniability for the tickler, who can't be accused of being "cruel" and specifically targeting hyper-ticklish spots.

The tickler can just put on a big, cheese-eating grin and say, "Hey, it's not my fault you have to get tickled on the feet for ten minutes. You spun the dial; it's Fate."

There are two variations of this game, both played the same way for the most part, but with slightly different angles. How the game is played

A. One partner is blindfolded. Bondage is optional. The tickling begins after a large assortment of implements are gathered. It then becomes the ticklee's job to determine which implement is being used. The tickling continues until it's guessed, then the tickling continues with the next implement! It's a good idea to use a mix of easily guessed tools as well as some obscure ones.

B. Again, one partner is blindfolded. The tickling is done with an inkless ball point pen, pencil, paint brush or any rounded edge which will simulate a writing implement. The tickler writes certain words or phrases on various parts of the ticklee's body, whose job it is to guess what word has been written.
