Looks to be a game that employs the same principles as Russian Roulette, but using electricity rather than pistol slugs.
From Bad Ass Reviews:
Who knew torture could be so much fun! Shocking Roulette is not for the faint of heart (no seriously, it's not!). There's good reason to think this little toy can stop your ticker. Not so much the actual shock, but the sweat creating anticipation of impending doom.
It starts off with sticking your fingers or thumbs into the designated spots. Up to four people can play at once, but two is just fine. You can probably play by yourself, but you should probably seek help from a professional if you do.
This sucker has two settings, low for wimps and high for daredevils. Up to you whether you decide to tell everyone of the two options. I like to leave it on high with a fresh pair of batteries myself. Easily liven up the most boring of holiday parties and boy did I have to attend my share of those!
Bad Ass Reviews rates it 4 out of a possible 5.
