Twisted Kicks is a word, guessing, and party game published by UCLA students Kunal Patel and Akshat Keshan. The objective of the game is for a player to have their team guess the word on the player's card without using the word itself, any permutations of that word, and any of the five restricted words in the center of the card. The game is similar to Taboo, produced by Hasbro. The game is available available under a Creative Commons license BY-NC-ND 4.0.
Rules
An even number of players from four to twenty split themselves into two teams of equal players. Each player has one turn, and teams alternate player turns. Players take turns describing Twisted Cards to their team by prompting his or her teammates to guess as many of the Twisted words as possible in the allotted time. For every Twisted Card guessed correctly, the player keeps that card in a personal stack. However, each card also has five "restricted" words listed on the center of the card, which may not be spoken. Should the player say one of the restricted words or a permutation of the Twisted word, a "verifier" on the opposing team discards the Twisted card and discards one of the player's cards from their stack.
For example, the player might have to get his or her team to deduce the word "photobomb" without offering the words "camera," "funny," "picture," "troll," or "ugly" itself as clues. The player can act out the Twisted Cards to help assist their team in guessing the Twisted word. The giver may only use speech or gestures to prompt his or her teammates, everything else is not allowed. Singing is permitted, provided the singer is singing words rather than humming or whistling a tune. While the player is prompting the teammates they may make as many guesses as they want with no penalties for wrong guesses. Once the team correctly guesses the word exactly as written on the card, the player draws another Twisted Card, trying to get as many words as possible in the allotted time.
At the beginning of a player's turn, the player must draw a Rule Card. These cards give special rules that only last during their turn. These cards provide benefits, difficulties or challenges to players during their turns. For example, the Rule Card "Language Barrier" forces that player to speak in a foreign accent. Some rules may override general gameplay rules. For example, the Rule Card "Maverick" allows the player to say one of the Restricted Words once per Twisted Card during his or her turn.
When time runs out, play passes to the next player of the other team. The player adds his cards accumulated during his turn to his team's stack of cards. The team with the most cards at the end of the game wins.

The Shrine of the Irish Oak is a small Celto-Roman Polytheist temple based on the Celto-Roman Polytheist culture and religion, worshiping both native Celtic Gods as well as Gods the Romans brought with them, not so much as a reconstructionists, but as what might have been if the Celto-Roman culture would have thrived and continued into the modern day.
