We know it’s bad to play with your food, but we’ll make an exception in this case. Tirol-Jan is a mahjong-style party game with a unique twist: you can gobble up the pieces once you’re finished. That’s because they’re actually Tirol chocolates, those 10-yen square treats beloved of schoolchildren who haven’t already wasted all their pocket money on cigarettes and cell phone bills. Sweet! (Sorry.)

Of course, this added edibility creates another problem: Can you actually make it to the end of the game before you’ve eaten it all? This kind of thing would never have happened playing Monopoly. (Metropolis)
