Adult entertainment doesn’t just have to be Netflix and pizza after the kids have gone to bed. Or even David Attenborough and beef bourguignon, if that’s the way you prefer to spend time with your loved one. In this technological age, we spend so much time on electronic devices. Often we sometimes forget that we aren’t interacting with robots or AI. One way to put the spark back into your love life is to sit down together and play a game, like the Monogamy Board Game.
We don’t spend enough time actually sitting down, having some face-to-face connection. I was never a fan of long-winded board games such as Monopoly when I was a kid. It seemed an investment of time in something that wasn’t going to give you a fruitful ‘return.’ Asides being able to rub your playing pals’ noses in it, if you were clever enough to become the king-pin of prime board-game real-estate.
That kind of ‘win’ gives a short-lived satisfaction. In our adult lives, satisfaction can be gained through completing a ‘project’. Renovating a house or garden. Running a marathon. Earning a well-deserved new job or promotion. These kinds of achievements are great for personal development. But what about relationships? How are they kept fresh and exciting in this fast-paced age where we often pass each other like ships in the night? Between informing each other about the trials and tribulations of the workday or child-entertaining efforts at home, there is often limited ‘quality time.’
Cue adult games…these can take various formats:
-
- Board games, e.g. Monogamy.
- Card games.
- Bondage games.
- Love Dice.
Let’s play a Love Game! Monogamy Board Game
I purchased this game to ignite some passion into my marriage which was starting to seem a bit formulaic in terms of bedroom antics. It was played in a ‘dummy run,’ and we seemed to enjoy the novelty of discovering each other ‘again.’
In recent times we have gotten side-tracked, negating to put in the extra effort we ought to, so the game sits on the shelf. This is a shame as it seems half-decent if not better than some other games I’ve come across.
How to play the Monogamy Board Game
- Each player goes around the circular playing board 6 times, twice at each of the three levels; ‘intimate’ (pink), ‘passionate’ (purple) and ‘steamy’ (red).
- There are colour-coordinated rings to place on your playing piece, helping you keep track of how many times you pass ‘GO’.
- Every time you pass GO, you also pick up a ‘Fantasy’ card (black). You can only hold two of these in hand at a time. Extra cards picked up after the third round need to be discarded (haha, childish giggle at the play on words “‘dissing’ a card!’“
- The game ends when one of the players completes their sixth journey around the board. They get to choose their Final Fantasy, (gamers will appreciate this tongue-in-cheek, I hope). This is whichever of the two black Fantasy cards they hold in their hand at the end takes their delight.
Monogamy Board Game layout
- After deciding who starts the game, you each put a pink ring on your playing piece. Roll the die, and move the corresponding number of squares from the ‘GO’ square.
- Monogamy square – pick up the colour card according to the level you’re on, i.e. pink, purple or red. Pink cards suggest questions to ask each other, e.g. ‘Think of an occasion when your partner really impressed you – tell them what it was and what they did that was so special.’ Alternatively, they suggest modest acts of intimacy, e.g. ‘Demonstrate which fabric you love to feel next to your skin.’ The purple cards are more raunchy and the red cards are even hotter.
- A gold heart branded with a ‘T’ symbolises a ‘Treat’. These are special actions you can use in the following days or weeks to maintain the intimate bond once the game is finished.
- Plain heart square – do whatever takes your imagination; get a drink, dim the lights, powder your nose.
- Cocktail Glass square – quench your thirst with your favourite tipple (or soft drink if you have to be ‘responsible’ or drive later).
- Heeled shoe – Remove a piece of clothing, in a way you’re both happy with.
Level-dependent squares
- Lips/kiss – pretty obvious really, but scaled according to which level you’re playing. Pink = peck on cheek, purple = kiss on lips, red = a proper snog.
- Strawberry – Eat something yourself, seductively (pink). Feed your partner. They can use a suggestive manner to seduce you (purple). Eat something from off your partner, from wherever you choose to place it (red).
- Erotic Dancing square – Sway, gyrate or lap dance!
- Massage Parlour square – Relaxing head/shoulder massage (pink), Sensual back/leg massage (purple), or a genital massage (red).
- Erogenous zone square – a roll of the die chooses the body part to receive some attention, ranging from stroking / kissing/sucking and nibbling.
Thoughts on playing the Monogamy Board Game
Mr Bunny and I got out the game to play last night. LED candles were switched on. Music was playing in the background. We procured ourselves some drinks and nibbles to assist with the game playing. I seemed to be particularly good at landing on the ‘M’ squares and erotic dancing square. Mr Bunny landed on quite a few ‘lips’ and massage parlour squares. Either way, we both got something good out of it, whether it was a snippet of insight, a kiss or another form of body contact.
I know in the days and weeks to come that I have a few ‘treat’ ideas in store for Mr Bunny. As to who won the game, that would be telling, but in any case, it’s safe to say there aren’t any losers! There were one or two references to ‘old-school’ tech, for example, Polaroids and camcorders. But for couples of a certain generation, it’s actually kind of funny in a nostalgic way. It certainly gave us something to giggle about, which can’t be a bad thing. We’re both looking forward to our next game!
The Monogamy board game can be purchased from Lovehoney for £26.39, (RRP £32.99).
