My Personal Experiences
Boring, annoying, or fun?
I’m still not sure what my (our) final verdict off Monogamy Game: A Hot Affair for Couples Adult Board Game is, it keeps changing, from one moment to another. In one way we’ve enjoyed it and had lots of fun, and in one way I can only think of it being old-school, a bit too much effort and not what I excepted kind of erotic game. One thing I am sure about is that I don’t understand what the big fuss is about, I think it’s a bit hyped up. Why? First of all, it doesn’t feel like it’s the same game for women and men seen to that the cards had different challenges/questions depending on gender. It felt a bit old-school-normative. For women the questions were more about telling stories and explaining things, for the men, it was more about buying stuff, surprising and other things that require a lot more effort and money. I thought we were over the time where men always pay the bill, it’s always them who need a push in the back to do something romantic, women are always romantic and sensitive anyway. I think you see where I’m going… Second, it’s only made for heterosexual couples, there are “his” and “her”-cards. That feels a bit out of date, and something the creator could easily adapt or maybe create another version. I am at least not aware of another monogamy game. But hear me out, it was fun! We had a good laugh and it was the perfect thing to do on a rainy day. So if you know what to expect (as you will by the end of this review) it could be worth the money!Get the talk going
If there is something Monogamy Game: A Hot Affair for Couples Adult Board Game helps you with, it’s finding new things to talk about, discuss and explore. We are a communicative couple since before, and I think we’ve talked about a lot both when it comes to sex and our relationship. But still, monogamy helped us come across some new topics and different angles. It also did the opposite, it helped us to explore places we don’t want to go, and stuff neither of us find sexual pleasure in.For who is this suitable?
It’s a difficult question, the one thing I can say for sure is, the heterosexual couple. The questions and challenges are of a wide variety and therefore it’s suitable both for new lovers, the one night stand, the married couple, etc. I think it all depends on what kind of relationship and people you are since before. Do you find it easy to talk about sex, feelings, and desires, then Monogamy might feel too simple. The same if you and your partner have explored a lot before, then Monogamy might feel simple. But, if you’re a shy one or if you struggle with the imagination or just have a hard time suggesting new things it’s perfect!
Design
With a square-shaped game board in nice colors and three (four including the fantasy cards), monogamy is a very pretty board game. If you didn´t know what monogamy was, you probably wouldn´t know that this board game is an erotic couple´s game. No nudes, just a classy game. It´s colorful and the board is a bit shiny. The design is simple, and you could, almost, understand how to play by just looking at it.
Ease of Use
Monogamy is very simple to play, so it´s pretty much just to get into the right sexy excited mood and go ahead. The game is supposed to take about 90 minutes, I would say if you are doing it as you are supposed to, it will take way longer. You could also create your own version of it, and take less time. It´s a game where you progressively become more intimate and the challenges become more of an effort. Some of the challenges are not possible to do at once and some require a bit of preparation. There are different levels; intimate, passionate, and steamy. This means you can set the game to your own level and stay on one level if you feel that the next is too much. But do go out of your comfort zone, don't stop just because you're comfortable.
Quality
The board for Monogamy erotic game is made out of high-quality cardboard and the cards in a classic card pack material. One might wish that the cards were waterproof or at least splash-proof, you never know where the lube or massage oil will end up. The small game pieces are all in plastic which make them easy to clean.
Price
For the number of cards - 400 different ones, I would say it´s definitely worth the price. It will take a few times before you go through them, and they are easy to twist around if you want to continue playing. Monogamy will help you and your partner to talk about things you never had and spice up your sex life, for that, I would say Monogamy is totally worth it. But I'm sure there are other erotic couple games similar to monogamy that are more equal and open-minded in their challenges.
Performance
It's a fun game if it's seen that there is a lot of variation and levels up as you play. But, we found it to be a very old-school game if you look at the difference in challenges for men and women, and it's also only adapted to heterosexual couples (it didn't affect us, as we are a heterosexual couple, but still). Of course, others can play it too, but might not feel that nice to know it's not made for you. On the intimate level, I liked it, or at at least it was a good conversation starter and pretty equal for both men and women. It could be good to just take some of these cards and ask each other the question in the bar/restaurant too. However, it was at the passionate and steamy level it started feeling really old-schooled. It was always for the "her-cards" to tell a story, and explain something and for the "his-cards" it was an action required, such as setting up dinner, surprising her with her favorite x... So it felt like we'd gone back in time. I also found the fantasy cards to be a bit too much of an effort if the goal is actually to play all evening, some required a bit of planning which was a bit annoying and we had to skip them. Some cards also involved"treats" which were challenges for the coming week or further ahead, this also felt a bit annoying.
Packaging
It´s not much to say really about the packaging, it´s a pretty big game which means it might be a bit annoying to take with you for travels or sexy hotel nights. But it´s high-quality, it doesn´t draw too much attention and looks nice. What´s included: a Game board, 250 playing cards, dice, and game pieces.
Materials and care
In an erotic game like Monogamy you don´t really need to take care of or clean, maybe just wipe it off with a cloth if needed. It could be a good idea to prepare with some lube, oil, and maybe other sex toys so you don't have to go looking for them during the game.

Conclusion
Once again, I truly have mixed feelings about this game. I like the variety of questions and challenges, I also like how it can inspire some conversations and introduce you to new kinds of sensations and sexual exploration. However, I don’t like that some challenges are not possible to do at once and some require a bit too much effort or even things you might not have at home. I wished that they’d written in the Monogamy board game’s instructions what to have when starting the game. If this suits you depends on what kind of person you are, for some, it might be very helpful for relationship communication and pleasure, and for some, it might just be boring. And of course, for some, it might even be awkward if you´re not used to communicating like this. If you´re one of them I definitely think you should buy it! It might be easier to have a game to help you talk rather than just communicating spontaneously.
