While many believe that the game Twister was invented by Milton Bradley in the 1960s, the truth is far more interesting. The gameplay of Twister was in fact created by the Romans in around 150 A.D. and was called "ante orgy" or "before the orgy!"

In the game, a servant pulled colored testicles of castrati from a jar, called the color, and everyone was required to put their foot on the corresponding color. If you fell, that meant you were required to move to the bottom of the orgy. It appears that people would fall on purpose, so the game tended to end quickly.

The game was a great success and was largely forgotten until orgies and key parties came about in the 60s.
