My Tongue Behind Your Teeth

Vulnerability is a mountain.

It is impossible to know what another will think about your true feelings. Why trust anyone with what could hurt you? Better to keep it shut. Better to keep it locked. Better to never scale the mountain. Keep your feet firmly planted in that valley where nothing matters and nobody knows who you are.

Of course, this is why you’ve always carried that coin in your pocket. For those difficult decisions you can’t make on your own. You flip it, catch it, turn it over in your palm. Tails I say something, Heads I keep my damn mouth shut. You know what? It lands on heads every time.

What else could you expect from a two-headed coin?

Until one day, your heart stutters. Something grips your jaw and forces the truth out of you, anyway.

The coin falls from your hand and clatters to the floor. Tails.

MY TONGUE BEHIND YOUR TEETH is a question game for two players about a Coward and the Ghost who has just possessed them.

Game duration is around 2 hours.
