Player A, the active player, plays a Touch Wiener card. Players B & C have a Touch Wiener card in their hands and decide to reveal it
 . Players A, B, & C draw a card as a result.
What do Players B & C do with the Wiener card they revealed?
At PAX, B&C drew a card and put the Touch Wiener back in their hands. If player A played another Touch Wiener card, B&C 'revealed' their card again. This seemed overpowered to me. At home, we have players B&C discard the Wiener card once they revealed it. I couldn't find a reference in the rules stating if either method was the intended rule.

I have never played this game, I don't know how the card works, but.... BEST. QUESTION. EVAR.

That's how my group has been playing with their wieners. It does make it a really great card, but only in pretty specialized circumstances. After all, the way a player is likely to have more than one in their hand is by having 4 or even 5 in their deck, and that doesn't leave as many for the other players. For the above scenario to come into play (which it has more than once for me, but I've been playing this game a lot lately - three times just today) four copies of the card have to be in hand at the same time. What's really great is that even rarer occurence, which actually, believe it or not happened in a game today - when player B in the above scenario draws two Scrotuum by touching wieners.
People on the outside probably think this game is nothing but a string of dick jokes. They're really only half-wrong.

Players B&C keep their Wieners in their hands. And B&C can reveal the same TW over and over. Remember, the card just says they have to reveal it to draw a card. If you discard it, you lose the +2 Tokens on the Wiener, so that is too much downside.
The card is balanced, because it does require another player (or 2 or 3) to join you in the conspiracy. Besides, Red get Victory Points, so Green deserves something good, right?
Thanks,

I don't think you are supposed to discard your wiener after touching someone else's wiener.
I would listen to Matt Hyra though, when it comes to wieners - he is a master.

Great, thanks for the help, Matt, indeed a master. Now I know how wieners were intended to play together, it was so confusing before. Something tells me I should not tweet this.

Too much touching wieners makes my hand size grow to massive proportions.

I always make sure that Touch Weiner is the one deck I place on the table before I randomize the other cards. I think it should be a game requirement.
