Playtime, language, number of players, and materials: the practical criteria for choosing an erotic game you'll use more than once.
Most erotic games are played once and then disappear into a drawer. This is usually not due to the game itself, but to the prior choice: a set of fifty instruction cards for two people who were actually looking for a ten-minute game, or a dice with English text for someone who doesn't like reading that. This article lists the practical criteria, so you buy what suits the moment you intend it for.
This is about games for adults. The approach is sober: types, language, number of players, materials, and how to store it discreetly.
Three types, three playing times
The offerings are divided into three categories, and they primarily differ in how much time they take.
Dice — the shortest form. You roll, you read, done. No rules to explain, no setup. Works as a quick icebreaker or as a gift.
Card games — medium length. A stack of cards offers variation without needing a manual. Many sets can also be used as regular card games.
Board games — the longest form, with a game board, rules, and a progression. Expect an hour or more and two players who are both up for it.
So, first choose the time frame. Buying a board game for a moment when you only have twenty minutes is the most common mistake.
Dice: look at the print and the size
There are two variants: dice with text and dice with symbols or images. Text is more concrete but language-dependent; symbols are language-independent but require interpretation. For those who prefer not to translate anything, a symbol version is the safer choice.
A set of 54 cards gives you enough variety to use the game for several evenings without everything repeating. Pay attention to whether it's a real card game with the usual suits and values, because then you can also use it for regular card games. The Kamasutra Card Game 18+ - 54 cards costs €4.95 and the KamaSutra Card Game Cartoon - 54 cards also €4.95. The cartoon version is more illustratively drawn and thus less explicit in image — relevant if you're giving the game as a gift and don't know how the recipient feels about it.
Board game: expect time and two motivated players
If you really want to make an evening of it, a board game is the format that supports that. The Couple Adultopoly Board Game costs €30.00. Read in advance what's in the box and how many players it can handle; a board game designed for two rarely works on an evening with more people.
Material, wear and tear, and storage
Printed plastic dice gradually lose their print with intensive use, especially if they are loose in a drawer with keys or coins. Wooden ones retain the engraving longer but are more sensitive to moisture. Cards with a smooth coating last longer than untreated cardboard, and a game that you put back in its original box lasts significantly better than a stack held together with a rubber band.
For those who want to store it discreetly: a closed box or tin in a drawer is more practical than the original packaging with print. If you travel with it, a small set is more logical than a board game — the Keychain with Sex Dice for €4.95 and the Kamasutra Decision Ball for €4.95 are the most compact variants in that regard.
First determine how much time you want to spend on it, then choose the type, and then check the language and the number of players. As a gift, a dice or card game of around five euros is easily accessible; a board game is a clearer statement and assumes you know how the recipient feels about it.
