Each player uses the microphone to state something one or all other players can&#8217;t do, awarded points as they go. <\/p>\n<p>But on a double date night, Maggie&#8217;s latest guy of the week might be more than a crude loser, he may be just the winner this game needs as he takes advantage after discovering the game was created by SINtendo, a company far more known for their mind and body altering video games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1103515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09FWY8FBT\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Kayla has always been the responsible older sister to Maggie&#8217;s more carefree style of living, especially when it comes to relationships. And it&#8217;s relationships they are talking about as Kayla wanders the old warehouse consignment shop, not much more than a junk store to Maggie. But relationships can take on new meaning when Kayla finds an old board game neither of them realize was designed and produced by a company called SINtendo.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Kayla sees the old board game, complete with a DVD element to it, she knows it&#8217;s just what she was looking for to entertain them on double date night later that evening. It&#8217;s called The Game of Can&#8217;t, and while the quirkiness of it appeals to Kayla and even her boyfriend Brent who&#8217;s going to be popping the question any day now, Maggie couldn&#8217;t be less interested. And at first neither could her latest slacker boyfriend Cody. <\/p>\n<p>Cody, like many of Maggie&#8217;s exes is pretty much a crude slob, more interested in innuendos and trying to get in his girlfriend&#8217;s pants than actually dating or playing games with her sister and the goofy romantic she&#8217;s seeing. But as the game goes on, Cody&#8217;s unique perverse perspective gives him a hint that there&#8217;s more to The Game of Can&#8217;t than just cheesy old entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Playing The Game of Can&#8217;t means each player has a piece on the board, and passes around an old wireless microphone. They speak into the microphone to one or all of the other players, telling them something they can&#8217;t do. The DVD merely keeps track of their scores and awards what seems a random number of points each turn. But over time Cody notices that everyone really can&#8217;t seem to do what they have been told they can&#8217;t do&#8230; and after Maggie angrily says her sister can&#8217;t be more of a bitch and Kayla stops talking and starts barking&#8230; Cody realizes the power of this game, checking and confirming that somehow it was made by the most notorious gaming company on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>But what will Cody do with the newfound power, with the microphone in hand, and the ability to tell any of them what they can&#8217;t do? Will Kayla and Maggie finally agree on one boy, even though they never saw eye to eye and even though Kayla practically has a fianc\u00e9e already? Will Brent swell up with more than just jealousy as Cody starts making more than just suggestive comments to his girlfriend? <\/p>\n<p>During SINtendo September there&#8217;s some things you just can&#8217;t miss out on&#8230; and one of them is The Game of Can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1103515\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09FWY8FBT\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Koming Next&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>SINtendo isn&#8217;t that manipulative&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Kayla discovers an old board game with a DVD element and handheld microphone while shopping at a warehouse consignment store with her younger sister Maggie, she never knows the true dangers of playing it.
