We folded the game and spent the next couple of hours undressed as we were and eating, drinking and admiring Robin’s tits.
Our next Summer gathering was Friday evening five weeks later. Abbey announced that her risk no longer was a problem and Donte related that his sperm count was zero. Robin went to get the game and we gathered in a circle on the living room carpet. As Robin began to unpack the game, I got everyone’s attention. “This didn’t work out so well last time,” I suggested. “Things moved slowly and once Jim reached the castle we were stumped on how to proceed.”
“Do you have a better suggestion?” asked Robin.
“A deck of cards,” I suggested.
“How would that work?” asked Jim. “Nothing’s slower than strip poker.”
“Low card loses,” I said. “We all pick a card and whoever holds the lowest card loses something.”
“That would move fast,” commented Mia.
“Doesn’t that end the same way the candy land game did?” asked Jim. “After all, once someone is naked isn’t the game over?”
“Unless she’s allowed to continue to play?” suggested Robin.
“And if she loses again?”
Robin held up the activity cards from the candy land game. “She takes a card from here.”
“Brilliant,” exclaimed Abbey.”
“Then we’re agreed?” I asked.
“Seems so,” Mia said.
“One more thing,” said Jim. “Ties. If we have a tie for low card, do we have two or more losers?”
“I think we should all draw another card and compare two card totals. That adds to the anticipation of the game and a chance for the low card holders to escape their fate.”
“Done,” Jim said and Robin jumped up to get a deck of cards. I began to shuffle the cards when Mia spoke up. “You know if I draw the high card, I think I should get something for it.”
“Putting on an article of clothing is out of the question,” Insisted Donte.
Abbey giggled. That got all of our attention. “Tell us,” someone said.
“I think Mia is right and I think the holder of the high card should do the honors,” she suggested.
“What does that mean?” Mia asked.
The loser stands up and tells us what article of clothing she’s willing to part with and the winner removes it,” explained Abbey.
“I thought that one of the men would have come up with that suggestion,” Mia said.
“Ready?” I asked. “One minute,” said Robin. “Nobody sits next to their spouse and we alternate male and female around the circle.”
We did some minor seat exchanging, I put the deck of cards in the center of the circle and spread them out in a messy pile. “No dealer. Just pick a card.”
“Are we all dressed equally?” asked Mia.
A quick inventory revealed we all had eight items of clothing except Jim who had seven. “No problem,” he said. “Consider it my handicap for winning last time,” and he picked a card.
We all followed suit, Robin counted to three and turned her card over. We followed her lead. Robin’s five was the lowest card and Abbey turned a Jack as high card. “Wait, I’m not sure I want to remove the clothing from another woman.”
“Okay, Highest card from among the men,” suggested Mia. “Or the sex opposite the sex of the loser,” she added.
