There is a card game called Hentacle. You can read a review here; some highlights follow:

"Hentacle is a fast paced game of, er, anime-tentacle-porn for 2 to 4 players. ... Truthfully, I see this game as being a very niche game, basically for fans of ... tentacle-porn."

"It takes an awful lot to offend me, and I happen to like anime. Truthfully, I've never seen any tentacle porn, but I have a passing familiarity with the genre."

"Special Cards can be played at any time, but there are only a few of them. Each girl has their own Special Card that can only be played on them. For example Chiaki, the Space Girl, has a card called 'It's In My Suit.'"

"Exclamation Cards are cards that can be played at any time, and are usually bad things, so you'll want to play them on your opponent. For instance, "Need A Break" forces a player to miss a turn, and "Performance Anxiety" cause[s] a player to discard their entire hand."

"The art is great! It is in anime/hentai style (naturally) and Mel Wong, the artist, did a great job capturing that vibe. Sure it's about tentacle creatures assaulting girls, but there's a lot of humor scattered throughout."

BoardGameGeek lists Hentacle as a "party game." I'll be sure to pull it out at my next family gathering right after Pictionary and Charades.
