Who Inked Me?

Drink. Pass out. Get inked. Guess who did it.

The Sumo Association forbids tattoos. The yakuza on TV have gorgeous ones. So a few wrestlers sit down in the dojo with a bottle of sake...

Whoever drinks falls asleep in the middle of the tatami, and everyone else grabs a tattoo machine. Everyone gets the same theme ("a roaring tiger head", "a koi leaping through the waves"...), and everyone draws it on the same sleeping body. Most of them can't draw.

How a round goes

• The sleeper dreams. Trace a drunken dream with your needle without slipping off the line. Finish it and you wake up — silently. Nobody is told.
  
• The others draw. Lean in with a stencil marker, then a liner and a shader in ten ink colors. Keep an eye on his face. Is he still asleep?
  
• He might be watching. Awake, he can quietly look around — on a neck that stretches — or shut his eyes and pretend he's still out.
  
• Tour and vote. Everyone sees every piece, then votes anonymously. A wheel picks one piece by the votes — unless he plays his catch card and picks one himself.
  
• Accuse. He points at a face. Right: the culprit drinks next. Wrong: that piece becomes a real black tattoo, and he drinks again.
  
• Three cups in a row and he's out. The prize pot goes to everyone else by their points, and his black tattoos become permanent.

Features

• Online party game for 4–6 players. Invite friends with a 4-letter room code, or meet strangers at the festival.
  
• A shrine festival lobby for up to 40 players: wander the festival in a mask or show your face, sit down at a sake stall, toast, and head into a room together.
  
• Your face on a big sumo body: upload any selfie once. It is processed on your own PC and becomes your wrestler's face.
  
• Mess with his dream: buy items before the match to shake his dream, fade the line, jolt his needle or squeeze the path, and buy yourself more drawing time.
  
• 64 classic tattoo themes: tigers, dragons, koi, swallows, anchors, skulls and more.
  
• Your skin keeps the score: black tattoos follow you from match to match. Laser them off with your winnings, or wear them forever.
  
• Voice chat with everyone in the room.
  
• 13 languages.

Content note

Players draw freely on each other's characters, and drawings are not moderated. Faces made from selfies are visible to the other players in your room; in the festival lobby your face is only shown if you choose to, otherwise you wear a festival mask. Voice chat is on in rooms and in the festival, where you can hear players near you. Characters wear a traditional sumo loincloth.
