stinky-pinky. (a game which stunk up the place here some time ago -- it only seems to work well as a parlor game.)

‘Round here it’s called Hink-Pink. With a few modifications, it actually made a passable board game. I still have the prototype around the house somewhere – never got around to trying to publish it though. One of these days I ought to drag it out and work on it some more.
