Board games usually come with a minimum "enjoyment" age. Hasbro has decided that children under the age of 9 would not understand the Game of Life, and Monopoly is simply too complicated if you haven't been around for 8 years. This isn't about minimum ages though; quite the opposite. While it may not be officially stated in any rule book, I can only think of one game with a maximum recommended age before it becomes...more than a game.
Every brand spanking new box of Twister comes with a foldable playing mat, a spinner, and an instruction booklet. What it doesn't come with is the innocence of youth. At some point in life, Twister magically stops being a board game and turns into an opportunity for raunchy fun. Granted, the game designer was probably trying to get into someone's pants with his brilliant new invention, but Twister is marketed towards kids and is simple enough to be a children's game. It has no minimum age requirement, but little Lisa didn't realize that there was a maximum age for real Twister games.
So today, I stand before you as a young adult with absolutely no way of turning back time to play a single game of innocent Twister. We constantly strive to create new experiences and see the world before we become old. My lifetime of experiences will forever be incomplete, and it's all your fault, Yunsuk.
On that note, my new goal in life is to play raunchy Twister before I get too old.
