Dirty Minds is a board game made by TDC Games in Itasca, Illinois.
Contents
Created in 1988 by Larry Balsamo and Sandra Schaeffer, it was originally sold only in novelty and adult stores such as Spencer Gifts. Over its history, however, it has penetrated the mainstream marketplace. The primary reason for its popularity is its use of sexual double entendres as clues to otherwise innocuous riddles. All of the clues are puns that may sound dirty on a first hearing, but actually refer to clean solutions. For example, the correct answer for the clue "The more you play with me the harder I get" is "Rubik's Cube."
Details
The game is completely clean unless the players have a dirty mind. All of the answers are clean. The player to correctly answer the question with the correct clean answer will be rewarded a card. Each card either displays a letter, lose a card, take two cards, or wild. The card with the letters either have a D, I, R, T, or a Y. The first person to have all five of the lettered cards wins the game. The game is easy to play and meant to be funny. It is advised to be played with only adults 18 and up.
