About the game

What is In a Bind?

In a Bind is a party game involving physical challenges. The game features a deck of cards, each one featuring a simple "bind", e.g., "one finger touching nose", "left elbow above shoulder", "two hands touching" or "this card on top of head". Each turn, you draw a new card. Its instruction must be obeyed for the entire rest of the game. When you have so many binds that you are unable to comply with them all, you lose. The last person to lose wins. In a Bind includes rules for team-based variants, as well as a 'Slow and Sadistic' variant that involves choosing cards to play on other players.
