Description
Awkward Hugs is the game of connections, questions, and consequences! Two players are locked in a hug by the included hug belts, and another player asks questions like, "Would you swim with sharks?" or "Are you a binge watcher?" Both huggers must answer the same way or they'll get a hilarious consequence card such as slow dancing or standing like a flamingo. Match three questions correctly to unlock the hug.
Game includes two hug belts, two keys, a deck of questions cards, a deck of consequences cards, and a game guide.
