MONOGAMYBoard Game; Multi-Award Winning Board Game

happy with purchase fun game for couples

I took a long time to make up my mind before buying this game-and read every single one of the reviews by previous buyers more than once. I liked what I read of the game, especially the steadily increasing levels, but was a little unsure as to whether I was going to be buying something that was particularly crude or smutty.My wife was even more sceptical than I but we prepared to give it a go. We both felt a little self conscious at first but, by the time we were halfway through the game my wife made clear that she was well into the mood and that it was proving a bit of an effort to stick to the game (in the best possible way).We really liked the way in which the game built up gradually, giving time to chat about what we appreciated about each other before getting more pulse racing. We also liked the freedom of the rules. Both of us enjoy love making and we aren't prudes but we can also both be a little self conscious: In the course of normal love making neither of us would be particularly inclined to suddenly pour yoghurt over the other and start licking it off; the other person would probably give them a withering look of 'What on earth do you think you're doing?' But the context of the game made all kinds of things we wouldn't normally be brave enough to try some how quite natural (and we didn't regret it!)There were several points where we might have given up on the game altogether (as several other reviewers did) but we found the self discipline to stick with it and are glad we did; although we were absolutely gagging for it long before the end, it just heightened our anticipation (and meant we did a lot more things than we might otherwise have done).The one main disappointment was the fantasy cards which, to be honest, we found largely in bad taste; when a game is called 'Monogamy' it did come as something of a surprise that one of the fantasies was a wife swap. Several of the others were in a similar vein. There were some we might have used or adapted; to be honest, we didn't bother with them by that point.Having gone from being very sceptical we would both say that it gave us one of our bests nights in, literally, years and certainly intend to play it again before too long.

Highly recommend this game for all couples!Before buying this game I read some reviews and got the impression it was mostly designed for couples who had been together for decades, had a flock of children, and no time for "sexytimes." I was very pleased to find out that this is not the case and highly recommend Monogamy for all couples of all ages no matter how long you have been together for. It is a lot of fun and yes, it's sexy. Because it is in a game format it will make you dare to do things you might not otherwise bring yourself to do in front of your partner - or to your partner. It is like a 2 hour long foreplay that will tease you and boy is it worth the wait! I do recommend having a couple of drinks whilst playing the game especially if you are a bit on the shy side. My partner and I decided to skip the erotic dancing as this made us both a bit uncomfortable. A great thing about the game is of course that no one is forcing you into anything you don't want - if you don't want to do something move on to the next bit. Done!It is not the most sophisticated of the board games but it does not have to be, it works perfectly fine the way it is, and I can't stress enough how much fun the game is. Not only will you be teased and pleased erotically but you will also learn new things about your partner, what he likes, what he thinks of you and believe me it's such a self-esteem boost! Very cute anecdotes come out as well - I learned my boyfriend first realized he loved me when I was having a hissyfit in the kitchen swearing at the frying pan trying out a new recipe - unsuccessfully needless to say.Can't wait for the next sexytimes with Monogamy..!

Let's start with the basics about us. My wife and I are sexually experienced and largely uninhibited, so I'm unsure if we're the target demographic for this game.Basically, I'll run through the points that came up when we played this game, an experience we mostly enjoyed because it's like an extended period of foreplay:1. There are several teacher/pupil fantasies, which left us cold. They didn't even specify teacher/STUDENT. They specially called out one play being the pupil. Hmmmm.2. It's all a bit tame until you get to the third round of cards, which are then a bit too involved (e.g. go off and find this thing, then do this with it for five minutes...) Some of the third-round cards involved full sexual scenarios in themselves. One involved grabbing a pack of cards and playing a whole different card game!3. The game can last a LONG time. You're supposed to go around the board six times. Honestly, we just got tired out. In future we'll maybe go around twice. We also adjusted the rules so that with each turn we picked-up a card. Otherwise, again, the game just takes too long.4. The words on the cards are (a) too small, and (b) there's too many of them. Some of them are practically essays. I'm middle-aged. I need reading glasses. Often I had to move over to a better light source to be able to read the damn cards. And even then I struggled. This is a design flaw. Make the cards bigger OR edit down that text.In summary, this game didn't hit the spot for us. By the time we were getting to the end, we were so tired out that the horniness was starting to dissipate. I suppose we should've just had sex earlier and we were certainly tempted but we really wanted to get to the end to "play" our fantasy cards (which were things we'd already done, to be honest, like filming sex).I mean, they should add that to the game – a "joker" game element, that means one of the players can jump straight to the fantasy part.We live in a different world of sexuality nowadays, compared to even just a few decades ago. Thanks to the internet we're much more knowledgable and significantly less prudish. We don't need to be educated or coaxed into doing new things. What is fun, though, is being given permission to do things by a third party, and to verbalise sex, and being dared to do things. This game almost gets that right, but it's just coming from the wrong direction, in which it assumes a sexually naive audience.
