There are times in every couple’s life when you simply need an adult game. I can think of one in particular: When you’re trapped in a “romantic” B&B in the middle of nowhere, the TV reception is terrible, and it’s raining. If that ever happens to you, I hope you’ve packed one of the following.
Any game where you tumble down laughing together is a good one. The box for this classic game contains a spinner and a plastic mat marked with colored circles. Spin the dial and move a hand or foot to the colored circle on the floor mat. According to the official rules, a referee is supposed to spin the spinner. When just two play, adjust the rules so that the last person has to make the spinner reachable by his opponent. We're not sure what constitutes winning -- but does it really matter?
Chocolate plus a game to play? Not since hydrogen and oxygen merged to form water have two more essential elements united. So put aside your 30th-anniversary edition of the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" video and oompah-loompah this game, which includes 3 oz. chocolate dessert topping, a game board, 2 brushes, and 2 game pieces. Added bonus of playing Strip Chocolate at a B&B: Someone else washes the sheets. Who wins? He or she who devours the most chocolate, of course.
It's not always easy to communicate about sex with your partner. Speak Love Make Love makes it easier and fun. Whether you end up laughing or loving it up, this adult game can bring you closer together.
The board design resembles a love knot, and based on the thousand-year-old Indian love manual, The Kama Sutra Game may inspire couples to get wrapped up sensually in each other's limbs. Pick a card and follow the instructions -- share a secret, touch an erogenous zone, assume a position. This adult game is for two only.
How well do you really know your partner? Sometimes it's difficult to tease out those personal details face-to-face. If you'd like to know more about your loved one, try using this game to pry loose some history.
This is one adult game you'll need to invite another couple over to play with you. If you've ever seen the circa-70s TV reruns, you know this game of "how-well-do-I-really-know-my-partner" is a hoot. Questions range from silly to salacious.
For some couples, it's easier to write a sexual fantasy than say it out loud. A card game, Fan the Flames contains blank "wish" cards to do just that. The box also includes "guess" cards, to test how well you know your partner, and "flame" cards that suggest a reward for guessing correctly.
Fantasy and foreplay are encouraged in this adult game. Again, players pick "to-do" cards in Lust! Adult Game, which challenges them with romantic and sensual tasks.
Less of a game than an incitement to fantasy, A Hot Affair comes with more than 400 novel and fun ideas including 65 Intimate Cards, 65 Passionate Cards, 65 Steamy Cards, and 50 Fantasy Cards. For couples who've been together for a while and are looking for a bit of inspiration, this can put them back on their game.
Take along this miniaturized Travel Scrabble set when you meander (7 letters=bingo!) with your partner (7 letters=bingo!), and you're guaranteed to score points.
