9 Best Sexual Board Games

Why I Chose It

The Big Oh! Board Game from Lovehoney is a simple but sexy board game that has you and your partner moving around the board and going through three levels intimate gameplay. It was an absolute winner in the eyes of our tester Moe. He took it on a trip away with his wife, and found it to be the perfect way to spice up a romantic evening. It has a great balance of conversation starters and ‘get-to-know-you’ questions, alongside lots of erotic activities. Moe loved that it “opens up conversation and gets you doing things you might not have thought of doing otherwise“, and even found that, after 20 years of marriage, they were still surprised at each other’s answers!

Whether you’re a beginner to couple’s games, or are just looking to try something new, I think The Big Oh! is a great all-rounder game. It’s very simple to get the hang of, but engrossing enough that you’re not immediately looking to toss the cards to the side to start getting it on with your partner. It will get you talking and flirting, and then moving onto foreplay with the included tools for sensory play. In his review, Moe wrote that “we played through the game in about an hour and were both dripping wet when we retired to bed. The actions are stimulating and the anticipation builds with every minute”.

A long, intimate board game is fun, but sometimes I’m more in the mood for a quick, spontaneous game of something flirty. That’s where I think the Sexy 6 dice set is a fantastic little tool. The 6 dice give you a full scenario to play out, which both my partner and I really enjoyed when we didn’t feel like we had the imagination to come up with things to do on our own. Rather than defaulting to what we always do, it got us to try new things and be more spontaneous with each other.

Another way we enjoyed using the Sexy 6 dice was to use just a couple of them, like ‘What’ and ‘Where (on the body)’. This way, we could keep things simple and not have to worry about moving around the house or trying to do an action in a certain way. You could also choose to roll ‘Who’ and ‘What’, and then blindfold your partner, leaving them in anticipation of where they’ll be receiving your kisses or caresses. They’re just so versatile!

This simple but sexy dice game is great for beginners, or for those who, like me, are always searching for more inspiration in the foreplay department. If you struggle with finding new ways to excite and arouse your partner, the Sexy 6 Dice set can give you the push you need!

I’m someone who loves incorporating dirty talk into my bedroom activities, but my partner is not someone naturally inclined to talk dirty. The Lovehoney Oh! Talk Dirty playing cards were an unexpectedly perfect way for us to find new things to say and new ways to excite each other. On the outside, it might look just like an unassuming pack of cards, but once you take one out, the spiciness is immediately apparent!

Of course, you can use these to play regular old card games, but Lovehoney also include several other games to play. My partner and I did play a couple of these, and I enjoyed that the competitive element took away any potential awkwardness we might have felt in the beginning, but our favorite way to use them was simply to pick out phrases we’d love to hear and give them to each other to say next time we were in the mood. I’ve also considered leaving a couple around the house for him to find when I’m not there!

I really like that you can choose how hot you want to start out with. The lower value cards are tamer — some have questions you can ask to get to know each other’s likes, dislikes and fantasies — while the higher value cards are much more raunchy and kinky! I’ve tried a lot of games that cater to beginners and those more on the ‘vanilla’ side of the spectrum, so if you want a game that will get you really hot under the collar, the Talk Dirty cards could be a great option.

Our Sex Game has a familiar formula to other sexy board games, but it does it really, really well. The unique ‘SEX’ board takes you through three different levels of intimacy, from ‘seductive’ to ‘erotic’ to ‘X-rated’! As you progress through the game, you’ll complete challenges like creating a sexual bucket list together, demonstrating the use of your favorite sex toy, or even making your own adult movie! At the end, one of you will win the chance to have your ultimate sexual fantasy fulfilled, whatever that may be…

Our tester Cassie noted in her review that “the prompts can help you shake things up if you’re ever in a rut or simply enhance your level of intimacy by encouraging you to explore each other in new ways“. There’s tons of stuff to do and talk about together, so it has a lot of replayability value. In fact, the tagline for this game is “Anything but a bored game”! However, it is generally aimed at couples who don’t routinely get kinky with each other — Cassie found that “although some of the prompts were fun to act out, we do often find ourselves doing a lot of this stuff in our sex life already“.

One more thing to keep in mind that is that the game does ask you to do some preparation beforehand. Some of the challenges encourage you to use props like juicy fruits, whipped cream and ice cubes, and others suggest going to other locations (like a different room) to carry out the actions. Luckily, there are no issues with skipping whichever challenges aren’t convenient for you at that moment.

Oral Fun really surprised me with how it got stuck into the action from the very beginning! This oral sex-themed board game involves travelling around the board and performing tons of different BJ- or cunnilingus-related challenges with your partner. Each space has a different action for him or her, and no two are the same. It does require quite a few extra accessories to have at hand, but most of them are pretty commonplace. You can skip some of them if you’d prefer to, but I was actually very glad that it prompted me to go out and buy some flavored lube!

Admittedly, my partner and I did struggle with it in the beginning, because we started from zero and felt a bit awkward going straight into the oral. But, we very quickly found the fun and hilarity in this high-intensity game! It was also nice to get some fresh oral inspiration, and to learn more about the kinds of things my partner enjoyed most.

If you’re not a trivia person, then you might feel a bit sceptical. Unlike other sexy games, Oral Fun is partly built around answering trivia questions, rather than answering questions about each other. However, you could play it without them if you choose, or switch them out for intimate questions you ask each other. Drinking is also built-in to the game, which may or may not be your bag, but it could very easily be a soda rather than champagne!

If you’re looking for a game to extra spicy, then perhaps a game that explores the world of BDSM is for you! The Hot Knots Bondage Game from Lovehoney is an ideal introduction to restraints and sensory play, and comes with everything you need to get started. All you need to do is pick a card and complete the challenge it sets for you!

You’ll be guided through different scenarios where you restrain, blindfold, talk dirty and tease your partner. For example, it might ask you to tie your partners arms above their head and experiment with playing with their nipples. There are also ‘Switch’ cards that you can save for when you want something done to you instead. While not required, the game also encourages you to incorporate extras like honey, a clothespin and a soft brush for you to further explore some sensory delights.

Kasia, who put the Hot Knots game through its paces, thought it was perfect “for those looking to dip their toes into bondage play, or those like me, spicing things up in the bedroom“. I love that this game has the perfect combination of simplicity, clear guidance and inventive prompts that can help you explore bondage in a fun, safe way. While she is not a bondage newbie, Kasia and her partner also had a lot of fun going through the cards and using them as starting points to talk about their fantasies, which also doubled as some creative foreplay!

As well has having a great name, Sex!!! is a very simple sexual board game that’s ideal for those who prefer getting down and dirty to sitting and talking. Each space on the board is a different action that you’ll need to perform on your partner(s), similar to how you might use sex dice!

When Isabelle tested it out, she loved that “it’s a very straightforward game with few rules, which is great for rule averse people like myself“. While not a huge board game fan, Isabelle thought that using a game like this as inspiration for getting intimate together was a nice change from the norm. Additionally, there are no gendered questions or detailed challenges, making it both quick to play and also much more inclusive to non-heterosexual, non-cisgendered and non-monogamous relationships.

The final square tells you that’s time to make your way to the bed! The winner gets to spin the sex position wheel, and then, if relevant, decide who is going to be doing what and where. While Isabelle personally wasn’t a huge fan of sex being the goal of the game, I think Sex!!! is a great option for those who aren’t looking for deep chats, but just want to get it on in a new, creative way.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve tried and failed several times before to find new and exciting positions for my partner and I to try. I’ve looked them up online, found some that I thought sounded fun and easy, but by the time we got to trying them, I realized that that I’d mostly forgotten what I was supposed to do, and I wasn’t as flexible as I thought.

However, once I opened these sex position cards from Tracey Cox, I immediately felt more hopeful. These large format cards have very clear photos of each position, along with plenty of guidance on how to get into the position, how to hold it, and how to modify it to fit you better. Rather than bringing a phone or laptop into the bedroom, you can carry with easy-to-read card with you and consult it whenever you need.

I love that there is information on why you might like it, including what parts it stimulates most. This came in handy in a couple of positions, as when I wasn’t getting the clitoral contact I knew I was supposed to, my partner and I could adjust until we did. To further help you choose the best positions, the cards are divided into 10 categories, like ‘give her a clitoral orgasm’, ‘he’s on the big/small side’ and ‘we want a quickie’ — the ‘we’re different sizes’ category came in especially handy for us. You might not need all of these positions (and some of them are a bit similar anyway), but I think this card deck is perfect for those who are looking to branch out with new positions.

Games make wonderful gifts, and for those who enjoy a touch of luxury, I think the Naughty Gift Set from Je Joue is a great option. Not only does it come with a high-quality set of ‘truth or dare’ cards, but also a Je Joue Mimi clitoral vibrator, a set of silky restraints, a blindfold and a scented massage candle. It’s like a romantic, luxurious date night in a box!

Our tester Isabelle loved that “it comes with a range of activities and items to explore together. I think it provides a really nice structure, so you can just get caught up in the moment without having to do much planning yourselves“. As she tried out the set with her partner, she found that the truth cards really got them talking about emotions as well as sex, while the dare cards gave them sensual challenges to complete, involving all of the included accessories. There are dares involving using the vibe on yourself or your partner, as well as ideas for how to tie them up or give them a sensual massage.

There aren’t many other sexual games out there that actually come with a vibrator included, so I think the Je Joue Naughty Gift set really stands apart from its peers. As Isabelle wrote in her review, “this is fantastic set for anyone looking to pamper themselves or a partner… and there are some really nice questions for developing physical and emotional intimacy“.
