Consentacle
Naomi Clark
Consentacle is a game where you and a partner help a tentacled alien and a curious human have a mutually satisfying romantic encounter. It’s a two-player cooperative card game that involves non-verbal communication, playing and revealing the cards you’ve got, and thinking about situations from another’s point of view.
Naomi Clark is a game designer, teacher, and scholar who has been making games since 1999. She has contributed to over three dozen titles in various roles, including designer, producer, artist, writer, and programmer.
