About the game
A wealthy, but horrible, goblin has asked for your hand in marriage! How do you react? Would you react differently if you were playing a chaotic good character? What about lawful evil? Kiss the Goblin is a party game where you describe how you would react to outrageous situations while trying to communicate a secret alignment. For example: What kind of toppings does a chaotic evil person like on on their pizza? You might answer "broken glass & anchovies" but the possibilities are endless!
