What Is an Adult Game?

An adult game is any game whose rules lead to intimacy: couples board games with escalating dares, card decks of positions and challenges, sex dice, drinking-and-dare party games and stacking games with a naughty twist. Our adult games range runs from a $23 deck of cards to boxed evenings for two.

Two things separate them from a normal games night. The stakes are physical rather than points, and the design does the negotiating: a card that says "kiss your partner somewhere they don't expect for thirty seconds" removes the awkward part of asking. Most are for two players; the party games scale to a table.

Are Adult Games Right for You?

If you and your partner are good in bed but a bit predictable, an adult game is the cheapest reset in the store. It hands you novelty without needing a new toy or a difficult conversation.

They suit long-term couples who want structure to try something new, new couples who want an excuse to move faster, and anyone hosting a bucks or hens night who needs the icebreaker to do its job. Blokes who find it hard to say what they want often find a card says it for them, and the couples kits pair naturally with a game.

The honest trade-off: a game only works if both of you are up for it. A rulebook cannot rescue a partner who has decided the evening is silly, and the raunchier party games are wasted on a quiet dinner for two.

Types of Adult Games: Which One Suits You?

Adult games fall into four types, and the type sets the heat, the effort and how many players: couples board games, position and dare card decks, sex dice, and party games. Here is how they differ.

Couples board games

A board, a path, cards drawn at each square, and rounds that escalate from suggestive to explicit. The Monogamy A Hot Affair With Your Partner is the standard-bearer: three levels, an hour or more of play, and an ending nobody argues with. The Fondle Board Game and the The Really Cheeky Board Game are lighter takes on the same idea.

Card and position decks

A shuffled deck of positions, dares or challenges you work through at your own pace. Portable, cheap and endlessly replayable. The A Year Of Kama Sutra gives you a new position every week; the Massage Board Seductions turns a massage into the game itself.

Sex dice

Roll an action die and a body-part die and do what they say. The lowest barrier to entry in the category and the best gift for a couple who have never tried a game. The 4 Kinky Sex Dice Dice Game adds two extra dice for more combinations.

Party and drinking games

Built for a room, not a couple: dares, drinking prompts and stacking games such as the Play Wiv Me Tower Of Pleasure Game. Louder, sillier and perfect for a bucks or hens night, less so for a Tuesday in.

How to Choose Your First Adult Game

Choose in this order: heat level first, player count second, effort third, budget last. Match the heat to the most cautious player and the rest of the night takes care of itself.

1. Heat level: pick for the shyer partner

Every box is coded somewhere between flirty and explicit. Buy one notch below what the bolder partner wants; a game that starts too hot ends early. Most couples games let you skip the first level once you know each other.

2. Player count: two or a table

Couples games and position decks are for two. Party games need at least four to work and are wasted on a couple. Read the box before you buy for a hens night.

3. Effort: rules versus rolls

Dice and card decks are playable in thirty seconds. A board game like the Monogamy A Hot Affair With Your Partner wants an hour, a table and a rulebook read once. Decide how much of the evening you want the game to run.

4. Budget: cards for testing, boards for keeping

Spend $20–$30 to find out if games are your thing, then $70–$100 on a board game you will replay for years. The Hustler Playing Cards is a deck of cards that doubles as a poker night.

Materials & Body-Safety

Games are card stock, board and plastic, so body-safety is about what the game sends you to do, not what it is made of. Any game that involves blindfolds, ties or props from your own drawer follows the normal rules: soft materials, quick release and nothing around the neck.

Where a set ships with edible dares, body paint or massage oil, check the ingredients if either of you has sensitivities and keep oil-based products away from latex condoms and silicone toys. Otherwise the only material question is durability: laminated cards and thick boards survive a spilt drink, thin decks do not.

How to Use an Adult Game

Agree the ground rules before the first card, then let the game run the evening. That single conversation is what separates a great night from a stalled one.

Set up somewhere comfortable with a drink each and your phones face-down. Read the box rules once, decide together whether any card is a hard no, and agree that skipping a card is allowed without explanation. Start at the lowest level even if you think you are past it; the build-up is the point.

Keep lube, a towel and whatever toys you own within reach, because the good games end with you needing them. A lot of couples pair a board game with the couples vibrator they already own and let the cards decide when it comes out.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

Keep cards dry and boxed and a game lasts for years. Wipe laminated cards and dice with a damp cloth if a drink goes over; let paper cards air-dry flat.

Store the box with your other bedroom gear rather than on the games shelf, and check that any edible or oil-based accessories in a set are within date before you play. Replacement dice and card sets are cheap if a piece goes missing.
