As I closed the front door, calling out "I'm home," I heard mom call out "Hi Jake... theres a parcel for you on the hall table."
Sure enough, besides the phone there was quite a large parcel, in plain brown paper, addressed to me, about two feet long and a foot wide, and a few inches deep. I wasn't expecting anything. "`k, thanks mom."
I took it upstairs to my room, and sat down in my swivel chair, infront of my computer desk. I opened the parcel, and inside was a simple white box with Household Hi-Jinx printed in large letters on the cover lid, which was otherwise plain. I found inside the parcel had a short accompanying letter, which I unfolded to read.
Removing the cover, there was a folded gameboard, about two feet square in all, on thick card. I opened it out on my bed. It was a top-down view of the interior of a house, at least in a simplistic form, with various rooms and locations in and about the house marked. Looking back to the game box, there was a small booklet with 'Household Hi-Jinx - Rules' on the cover, a clear plastic zipbag containing a number of cone-shaped counters in blue and pink, and a pack of cards.
I picked up the cards first, which were backed with a simple whorl design and the games title, flipped the pack over to flick through them, to see if I could get any quick insight into the game from what was printed on the cards.
They were all blank. Puzzled, wondering how a pack of blank-faced cards would be used in a game, I turned to the rule book, flipping to the first page.
I flipped the page, to read on, and, like the cards, found the next two facing pages blank. Flicking through the rest of the rule book, I found them likewise. What was this?
Unzipping the clear pouch, I tipped out the counters onto my duvet cover. There were ten blue and ten pink counters, as the book stated, all similar-shaped hollow cones... except...
I noticed a blue counter had the word printed Dad on the side. Okay, so they weren't all identical then. Looking through them, I found another blue one with You on it, and a pink counter with Mum on it.
All the rest were blank, it seemed, except for the counter for 'older sister'. The blank counters were another oddity, I thought, like the cards and the pages in the rulebook, but the counter for my sister really threw me - for instead of having Older Sister printed on it, it had Kelly. My olders sisters name.
Was this some kind of silly joke? It didn't make any sense. I sat for a while wondering who would pull a stunt like this, and placed the counters as the rulebook stated just out of idleness whilst I thought on that. Looking at the rulebook again, I had another surprise. The second page was no longer blank.
I stared at the page. Those words were definitely not there before. Was I dreaming? I turned my gaze to the cards, and lifted the top one up and turned it over.
What? This was whacked. Suddenly, I felt an odd sensation, like a warm shiver, run all through me. The flow seemed to fade away... at my groin.
My boxers felt a tighter now. No... no way... it couldn't... couldn't have really...?
I unbuckled my belt, unzipped my pants and took a look. Fuck. My cock had got bigger, no doubt about it. What the hell? I looked to the deck of cards again, and drew another.
I reached over to the counters, picked up another pink one and placed it as instructed. A few seconds after I did so, I heard the doorbell ring downstairs, which made me start and I glanced to my door. Looking back at the gameboard, a name had appeared on the side of the counter I had just put on the gameboards Front Doorstep.

Greetings!
Cloud Nine Games Ltd. is delighted that you have chosen to participate in the playtesting of our very first boardgame! The working title for the game is Household Hi-jinx, but that may well change.
Enclosed in the parcel is the one of the first prototype runs of this game (one of just thirty) for outside company evaluation and, hopefully, you and your family will very much enjoy - we at Cloud Nine Games feel confident that you and your family will find it a lot of fun and derive a lot of entertainment from playtesting it. We know that our previous inhouse playtests were well received!
We look forward to your eventual playtest report on our game, and any comments (which are welcomed) and/or criticisms (which we hope will prove to be few or none!) you may care to include.

Welcome to Household Hi-Jinx
This rulebook will provide you with the basic game instructions. Your game box should include, besides this rule book, a pack of sixty cards, the game board, and twenty counters (ten blue and ten pink).
Setting up the Game
To start with, place your counter in the room on the board marked Third Bedroom. This is your starting location. Other game participants are placed as follows. Place your older sisters counter in the Second Bedroom. Place your mothers counter in the Dining Room. Place your fathers counter in the Garden besides the fence. When done, please turn to the next page.

Beginning the Game
You have the first turn. Take the top card from the deck.
Place drawn cards to one side, in a 'discard' pile.
I stared at the page. Those words were definitely not there before. Was I dreaming? I turned my gaze to the cards, and lifted the top one up and turned it over.
BOOST CARD
You are blessed with a mammoth cock!
Gain 2 inches (another 6 inches when erect)
and your balls have doubled in size.
Draw an extra card.
What? This was whacked. Suddenly, I felt an odd sensation, like a warm shiver, run all through me. The flow seemed to fade away... at my groin.
My boxers felt a tighter now. No... no way... it couldn't... couldn't have really...?

EVENT CARD
One of Kelly's friends has arrived.
Place another pink counter on the
Front Doorstep
I reached over to the counters, picked up another pink one and placed it as instructed. A few seconds after I did so, I heard the doorbell ring downstairs, which made me start and I glanced to my door. Looking back at the gameboard, a name had appeared on the side of the counter I had just put on the gameboards Front Doorstep.
