What the hell were you Googling that brought you here, for your first post, to a 5 year old thread, in order to post a link about strip _ **Monopoly** _?!

Twister is what you do after you get naked, that is if you aren’t doing other fun games.

As for Clue - panties in the parlor with a pipe, of course.

If you play Clue at the speed my sister does, you could pretty much just have the losers remove one article of clothing, and you’d have everybody naked by the end of an hour.

For maximum effect, all strip games should be combined with drinking games. You can alternate the “strip” rounds and “drink” rounds to spread out and prolong the fun.

There’s no game that can’t be enhanced by some good 'ole naked drunkenness.

I can’t wait for this thread to get unzombified in another five years, after the fora have specialized even more. I’m waiting for:

> Pretty straightforward. Since backgammon games are reasonably short, you play a series with the loser removing an article of clothing, two articles for a gammon and three for a backgammon. If you use a doubling cube you might want to install a [Crawford rule](http://www.bkgm.com/gloss/lookup.cgi?crawford+rule)if one player is down to their last item. Then there’s are [beavers](http://www.bkgm.com/gloss/lookup.cgi?pat=beaver) and [raccoons](http://www.bkgm.com/gloss/lookup.cgi?pat=racoon).

> Ah, the seventies. No one plays backgammon anymore but it really is a wonderful game. Plenty of skill involved, more than might appear but enough chance so that a lesser skilled player doesn’t get discouraged.

It must have been the seventies if you were playing strip games and beavers were involved.

I found that comic hilarious at the time, because I remembered seeing a thread here about strip Magic: the Gathering.

Strip pool has some [rules variants](http://www.stripcreator.com/comics/NickNumber/492182) which need to be clarified ahead of time.

(as does stripcreator)

Well, if that’s the case, then _Spoons_, _Bullshit_ and, if you don’t have any cards, _Zoom/Schwartz/Pfigliano_.

There’s also some kind of party-dice game out there for sale.
