Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored is an non-family friendly expansion for the reptilian truth or dare classic

Fully leaning into the more adult side of the base game, Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored is absolutely not family friendly.

The base game of Don’t Press That Mine Turtle works well enough as a variant on truth or dare, although the family style branding on it hides the fact that it’s more aimed at late teens to early 20s players. Being fair to it, the box does say 13+, so I suppose I can’t complain too much. Anyway, the Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored card pack goes all in on the adult side of things, and feels as much an expansion for Cards Against Humanity as it does for its own base game.

If you don’t know the rules of the base game, it’s fairly simple. Each player has a hand of cards that each has a challenge on them. You give a card to another player, expecting them to complete the challenge on it. If they do so, you have to press the button on the back of the mine turtle a given number of times. If they can’t or won’t do it, then they have to press the button. After a certain number of presses, the turtle will explode and that player loses. It’s meant to be played as a party game rather than anyone caring who wins, but it’s nice to have a solid stopping point for the game.

The base game had a fair few cards that I felt were a little much for my tastes. Messing around with people’s social media accounts is fine for some, but not for me. I appreciate that that’s a question of taste more than anything else. Don’t Press That Mine Turtle Uncensored doesn’t care about taste at all, and you’d better be comfortable with the other players if you’re going to wheel this one out.

This Kickstarter exclusive expansion is all in on the adult content, and involves cards asking players to touch each other, talk about their recent sexual encounters, or just full on slap them in the face as hard as possible. These cards don’t really interest me, but I can understand that certain crowds would likely enjoy this as part of a drinking game or similar. Interestingly, they have the same card backs as the base game and other expansions, so these can be mixed in easily enough if the fancy takes you.

I like that the cards are still high quality with a linen finish, and that the art style remains consistent. The artists have had some fun with card art, playing with what the card is talking about without having to draw anything explicit. The “Tell me the last thing you masturbated to” card has a picture of someone holding a chicken by the neck and I genuinely laughed when I saw it. If that sort of thing takes your fancy, then I suppose this is a fine expansion to roll into the base game. I’ll probably leave it tucked away for family game night though.
