There are alot of websites out there that review and sell general family games. This blog is intended to provide reviews of adult board games with an emphasis on analysing their design and playability. We will also look at ways to design your own adults games, improve games you’ve purchased and transform classic board games into your own custom erotic games for couples or party play.
With current computer and printer technology, it’s easy to create and print out new board game design elements for your creative ideas. You can even adapt boards and pieces from other games you no longer play and reuse them for your own games. We will be investigating techniques for prototyping your game designs and even ways to get your game designs manufactured or sold as electronic downloads.
Board based bedroom games, foreplay games, relationship games and erotic party games will all be investigated. Sexy ideas for spicing up these games will also be provided. We will even detail example designs based on transforming classic board games into sexy new variations.
With the introduction of the iPad, there is a great opportunity for using it to create computer board games so we will also investigate some game design software for it as well. The size of the iPad makes it perfect for use by couples in the bedroom.
We hope you enjoy designing, creating and playing adult games. Even if you decide to just buy your games (hopefully from our site) you’re sure to find creative ways to enhance or customize your purchased games to suit the type of play you desire.
Rather than limiting your design to adult board games, take any opportunity to adapt the rules of regular games and transform them into erotic variations. For instance, although Boggle is considered a nice clean family game, dirty minded couples are bound to find some naughty words scrambled among the lettered cubes. It’s easy to imagine this as the start of some frisky fun. But how do you adjust the rules to include sexy activities and fun foreplay?
I originally designed a version of Boggle Foreplay for our Sexy Suggestions website. There is also an online scoring form with randomly generated foreplay ideas to perform at specific point levels. However, I wanted a new version that didn’t require much up front thinking or preparation. Also, I figured the new rules should follow the original game play as much as possible so that couples could switch to the erotic version quickly.
Since the game design would provide blog and marketing content, I also wanted to tie in the Frisky Foreplay ideas lists as an option for couples who had or wanted to buy the game. And of course, once the Dirty Boggle blog post was completed, a YouTube video to promote it was next on the list.
Try coming up with your own erotic twist for Boggle and then take a look at the video below.
Here is the script for the video:
In this video, you’ll discover a way to transform Boggle into a wild sex game for couples. This hot word game will have you thinking, talking and playing dirty to win. It combines erotic talk, stripping and lots of creative foreplay. All you need is a Boggle game and a dirty mind to start a night of naughty fun. You’ll arouse both your mind and body.
Start by agreeing on the sexual forfeits you’ll be playing for. This will help build erotic tension during the game.
Your objective is to find exciting words to express love, desire and lust for your partner. At the end of each round, earn bonus points by using one of your words in a sexual context. Ah … but you don’t just talk dirty, you need to play dirty too. When you find the right words, act out your sensual ideas together as foreplay. And they don’t have to all be dirty words either. You just need to use them in a dirty way.
Here are the sexy new rules in a bit more detail.
First player to 120 points wins. Score the same as in the standard rules but include bonus points for performing various erotic activities.
Secretly write down all words you find even regular words. You can score for both and, when it comes right down to it, you’ll be surprised how they can be used in a dirty way. Exclude all words that you both found in your individual lists.
All dirty words are allowed even if they are rude, crude and nasty. Slang terms for body parts, erogenous zones and sexual activities are acceptable.
When either of you score with a word that can be used in a sensual or sexual context, gain double points by using it in a descriptive, verbal request of your lover. They then need to perform it with or for you immediately. Only one request per player per turn.
If you can’t think of a foreplay idea using one of your words, your partner has the option to “steal” a word from your list. If they come up with a sexy activity for you to perform, you lose the points for that word. They don’t get extra points though – just more pleasure.
You can decline any activity if you’re not ready for it yet but your partner gets an extra 5 bonus points.
Note that only interesting words should be used to express sexually creative desires. Avoid using words that have no special meaning or that can be used in almost any sentence. Also, try to talk as seductively as you can while being very detailed and specific with your erotic desires. Instead of “do something to my toes”, try “remove your nylons and let me sensually lick and suck each of your toes”. You get to include a stripping action and foreplay in the same turn.
I hope you enjoy Thinking, Talking and Playing Dirty together with the one you love.

Images for the video were taken with a Canon EOS 60D camera and edited in Pixelmator. The voice over was done using Audacity. The video presentation was done in Keynote and then edited in iMovie.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of the game design and the video.
When designing adult games, you’ll want a large number of unique foreplay ideas to include. One creativity technique is to pick an erotic topic or a pleasure item and then brainstorm as many ideas as possible related to it. You’ll want to try for a minimum of 10 and then push toward 20, 30 or more. The first few will be relatively easy but are generally more obvious as well. Your really creative ideas come near the end of the process when you struggle with new ways of thinking.
As an example, to help market our Frisky Foreplay game, I wanted to write a blog post with some creative sex tips and ideas. Since I recently read an article suggesting that many women hide their vibrators from their lovers, I challenged myself to come up with as many ways as I could for couples to use a vibrator together as foreplay. Why hide them from each other when they could easily be playing with them together. I even posed a sexy game couples could play that involved coming up with their own creative foreplay ideas using a vibrator.
And, what better way to promote the article and the game then a video on YouTube. So I wrote a quick script (included below), took some pictures of a few items on hand and whipped up a Keynote presentation. I recorded and cleaned up the voice over using Audacity. Final touches were done in iMovie. The script was intended to follow the Hook, Path and Persuasion format from the Video Boss course I took. However, I have also been reading Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff so decided to try out an Intrigue Frame technique as well. The video provides a light hearted look at how many couples view sex toys in their relationship.
Frisky Vibrations – Dilemma of a Dirty Girl and Her Sex Toy
Here is the script for the video:
She thought her vibrator was safe … hidden away in her underwear drawer.
No one would ever know her guilty secret pleasure … the ecstasy of masturbating with her battery powered sex toy.
She suspected something as soon as she got home. No wonder he looked so moody and mysterious. And then, when she went up to their bedroom, he stormed out to the garage to be alone with his tools.
How did he find it? Why did he look in there? It was buried under her panties. Guys don’t touch those girly things unless they’re trying to get into them right? But there it was tossed on her pillow in plain sight.
It was a gag gift but the thrilling sensations it created were amazing. Just seeing it made her clit throb with desire. But her mind swirled with conflicting emotions.
Was he pissed off that she pleasured herself alone? What was he thinking? That he wasn’t good enough in bed for her? Was she faking her orgasms with him because she needed a vibrator to get off? And those times when she wasn’t in the mood for sex was it because she already did it herself without him? Why would she need a sex toy when she had the real thing?
Oh, of course she loved the real thing too. Intercourse was great and oral sex was heavenly. But her vibrator was magical – even better than her own fingers.
Panicking, feelings of fear, guilt and shame tried to wash over her joyful memories of forbidden pleasure.
Something had to go … her vibrator induced orgasms or her man. But she wanted and needed both!
Was their relationship over? Could he forgive her?
What the hell was he doing in there anyway?
A kinky thought crossed her mind … was he secretly trying on her panties? What else could he be doing with her silky underwear while she was away? She rushed to opened her underwear drawer and discovered ….
A brand new sleek, sensual vibrator tied with a ribbon and a note … let’s play together tonight.
Visit FriskyForeplay.com/vibratorideas to discover more than 30 ways couples can play together with a vibrator.

You’re free to include a full range of explicit foreplay techniques.

I recently purchased the Video Boss course for creating sales videos. Here is the first one I created to help market my Frisky Foreplay and Fooling Around games.
If you enjoy the thrill of hot passionate sex, the thought of a boring, sexless marriage can be scary. The stats for most couples are frightening. But what can you do about it?
You know great sex is important to you and your relationship. Routine, predictable sex is alright sometimes but you want and deserve more. In this video, you’ll discover how to easily get your lover to become more adventurous, creative and passionate in and out of bed.
You already know the internet is full of all kinds of foreplay tips and techniques. There are thousands of relationship enhancement books with exotic sex positions and erotic ideas for couples. But these just increase your desire and makes it even more frustrating when you can’t entice your partner to try them with you. Your lover may be content with their standard moves that seem to work but you know it’s not enough.
You’d think that talking about new sex ideas would get easier as your relationship grows. Curiously, the more comfortable you get in your relationship, the harder it becomes to risk change. With a fear of rejection, couples avoid revealing their secret sexual fantasies to each other. They don’t want their partner thinking the sex they desire is kinky, dirty or nasty. So they end up waiting for the perfect opportunity when the mood feels just right to slip it in. But it never seems to happen does it?. And then, without realizing it, they’re both desperately craving wild new erotic experiences while their sexual urges are left silently unsatisfied.
But imagine if you had a fun way to introduce hot new ideas into your lovemaking without having to ask for it. A way to build sexual tension as you eagerly anticipate each new sensual surprise. There are so many pleasure possibilities and combinations available to experiment with that sex never has to be the same twice. What you need is a random way of selecting them so you never know what to expect next. By letting go of choosing what to do, you gain more freedom to play together. And if an idea comes up that you’re not ready for yet, you creatively adjust it to suit your mood.
That’s where our Frisky Foreplay game comes into play. It’s an erotic dice game designed to mix up hundreds of unique foreplay ideas and lead you through a sequence of stimulating sensations. To prolong and increase your pleasure, foreplay activities start off warm and loving then intensify toward a wild, explosive climax.
It encourages you to inflame your lover’s passion with deliciously intimate kisses and caresses. As you play the game, you’ll tease and tantalize each other with fingers, toes, toys and other playful accessories to build even more erotic heat. Remember, extended pleasuring is one of the best ways to dramatically intensify your orgasms.
Frisky Foreplay is not like other sex games designed for new couples just getting to know each other. It goes beyond the same old tame activities found in more expensive relationship games. And it doesn’t involve asking questions about each other to discover things that you’ve know for years. It’s about playing with each other in ways that make sex wild, exciting and fun again. You’re never too old to be playing adult games as long as you’re young at heart and in the mood for amazing sex.

In a previous post, various ideas were identified to transform chess, the classic strategy board game for two, into a bedroom game for couples. Here is a brief outline for a sexy variation of chess with a special focus on the queen. The rules for this adult board game design include a special twist that lets you play your queen again even if she’s taken once, twice or even more.
When coming up with this erotic chess game idea, I started with the title Queens Gone Wild which was inspired by the Girls Gone Wild commercials. I also wanted to tie in a reference to the fact that many women tend to prefer more foreplay as a prerequisite for great sex. More foreplay may even lead to multiple orgasms – she’ll come again and again. I also wanted to work in the ideas that “if you’re willing to continue playing with your queen, she won’t give up until you’re both satisfied” and “in her frisky sexual fantasies, the queen takes on a whole range of characters whether they be a pawn, knight, king or even another queen”. Also, since the queen is one of the most powerful pieces in chess and may be played in aggressive or protective strategies, her role could be worked into the flavour of the game as being dominant or submissive. Finally, although the ultimate goal may be to mate the king, playing with the queen leading up to the climax makes it more fun.
Rather than sticking with the exact rules of chess, I wanted to add in a few select twists that would make playing with the queen more interesting and rewarding. First, every capture event that involves a queen is assigned a foreplay activity with a degree of intimate intensity related to the pieces involved. For instance, a queen capturing a pawn may warrant a passionate kiss while a pawn capturing a queen may be rewarded with a kinkier activity. However, if the queen is out taking everyone in her path, she’s likely to be taken herself. If that happens, the controlling player no longer has any way to obtain pleasure rewards except by taking the other queen. And if both queens are taken early in play, the foreplay game loses it’s erotic appeal. To fix this, we need to let the queen get back in the game.
As a second rule modification, if your queen is taken, you have the choice of stripping an item of clothing to have her come back into the game. Your partner/opponent gets to replace your queen anywhere on your half of the board. This makes it a strip game as well as a foreplay game. It also changes how couples will play with their queen since it is not devastating to lose her but there is an erotic cost to get her back. Players may even switch to pursuing the queen vs the king to prolong the game and strip each other faster. This could even balance out any skill difference couples may have that might normally make them avoid playing regular chess together.
Eventually someone will get the other player in checkmate. This leads to one final rule modification that involves actually taking the king. By assigning a sex position, role play scenario or other kinky activity to each of the possible king capture events (pawn takes king, queen takes king and even king takes king), you can add another sexy element to help build erotic tension. Players may even strategize to obtain the sexual reward they want most. So, even after checkmate, the player can make a final move to either get another pleasure reward or set themselves up to ensure a climactic sex activity they want. Note that stalement is not permitted and you may have to move into check if you have no other move.
If you want to play Queens Gone Wild, here is an editable PDF template created with the various capture events defined with sample foreplay ideas. It’s free to download. The text areas can be edited and filled in with your own foreplay activities if you like. Download the Frisky Foreplay game if you want even more sexy ideas to add to your adult board game design.
As a variation when you are not in a position to actually get physical, imagine the queen fooling around with each man/woman or fantasy creature on the board searching for an elusive orgasm. Whenever you take a queen or use your queen to take another piece, you must describe a sexual act the two are performing. Make it different each time building up to some really kinky ideas that may just be part of your own fantasies. I hope you enjoy playing erotic chess with the one you love.
Chess is a very popular board game that many people know how to play at least casually. It’s a great game for couples to playfully match wits possibly with intimate rewards for the winner. Most people also have an old chess board laying around their home or cottage. The EveryGame app for the iPad (my favourite foreplay game platform) even comes with a chess game included and it can be customized or completely redesigned if desired. Why not create an adult board game design based on chess? An erotic chess game would be great for couples who want to spice up their bedroom fun. This article discusses a few possible ideas to make your own sex game.
I have seen some simple strip chess variations that involve removing an item of clothing for each piece captured. There is also one that assigns foreplay activities to the type of piece captured. For instance, capture a pawn and get a passionate kiss. This variation is a little better than just stripping and does provide for some interesting foreplay possibilities. The foreplay favours could even be made relatively tame for the first game and then become more intimate in the next. And of course the overall winner of these foreplay games would receive an appropriate pleasure reward as a bonus.
This simple variation of erotic chess effectively has only six events that can be assigned a foreplay activity (pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, and king in check or mate). One of these events should be tied to a stripping activity for the first game at least (maybe bishops and/or knights). This doesn’t leave many options for the other capture events. Activities would also need to be relatively generic such as fondling, massaging or kissing a body part. A rule could be added that these foreplay actions are to be done only on an exposed region or erogenous zone. Couples would then have an incentive to capture/defend select pieces which would help increase the erotic tension.
Beyond just the type of piece captured, there are actually many other types of events that could be assigned a foreplay activity. The rarity or skill level required to perform the event could also correspond to the type of foreplay idea assigned. For example, the combinations of the piece captured and the capturing piece creates more unique event types (i.e. pawn takes queen or rook takes bishop). Even the type of piece used to put a king in check could be viewed as a unique event. Castling and the type of pawn promotion (doesn’t have to be a queen) are also possible events. Of course there needs to be a balance between the variety of possible foreplay ideas and the complexity of defining and using them in your adult board game design.
Also, there is no reason the rules of the board game can’t be modified slightly to accommodate or encourage certain types of desired activities. For example, losing a queen is usually fairly devastating but what if you could strip an item of clothing to get it put back on the board again. The queen could come again and again (multiple orgasms anyone). And what about the king. Why limit the rules to just getting the player in checkmate or worse stalemate? The type of piece taking the king could be mapped to a sex play activity (oral sex, doggie style, anal sex, bondage, etc.). One final foreplay activity could be squeezed in by the other player before the final climax or they could move their king to be taken the way they want.
In some adult board game designs, foreplay favours or forfeits are randomized to create sensual variety and anticipation. Although you could roll sex dice or pick foreplay activity cards in your erotic chess game, knowing what each capture event corresponds to may actually enhance the game play. It may even help balance player skill level by encouraging couples to alter their strategy for pleasure rather than conquest. But as a quick way to add more foreplay variety, include components from some of your other foreplay games. Instead of assigning specific foreplay favours to a captured piece, specify a type of foreplay selection such as erotic dice, foreplay idea cards or a set intimate questions. Although you won’t know the exact activity or challenge for each piece, you’ll still have a general idea which will still influence the game play strategy.

Checkers is a simple and popular board game that almost everyone knows how to play. Most people also have an old checkers board laying around the house. EveryGame for the iPad (my current favourite foreplay game platform) even comes with a checkers game included. And, it can be customized or completely redesigned if desired. Why not create an adult board game design based on checkers? Of course we’ll want something a little more challenging than “strip one item for each piece you capture“. That’s just too easy and a little boring when what you want is to build anticipation and desire. It’s more fun to work a little for the ultimate reward.
There are a large number of checker variations that use different board configurations, numbers of pieces and interesting rules that could all be adapted into a foreplay game for couples. The primary challenge is to retain the fast, simple play structure while designing in mechanisms to help build erotic tension. Checkers normally involves lots of capture moves so stripping and other foreplay activities should be tied to less frequent game events. Otherwise players will be licking and sucking each other constantly with little focus on the actual game. Assigning sex activities to the end of each game would draw out the erotic play too much. There needs to be a balance to make playing fun and winning even more sweet.
I like to reward skilled or lucky plays with a foreplay activity or sexual forfeit to encourage players to get into the game. Also, it’s nice to add a bit of flavour text to the sex game to give it more of an erotic appeal. Checkers is an abstract game but with a bit of context, it can be transformed into a sexy setting for randy role play. Spice it up a bit with a creative sex oriented theme and title. You may consider the pieces to be men and women in some form of erotic struggle with each other. When promoting pieces turn them into kings and queens or any other term that suits your theme. And of course you’ll want some kind of reason to be jumping each other (euphemism for sex) to get to the other side even if it is a little contrived or tongue in cheek. My view is that when you enhance the mental stimulation you increase the frisky fun factor too.
Foreplay Rewards & Forfeits
There are relatively few types of game events in regular checkers but there are some that could warrant a foreplay bonus. Stripping could also be tied to specific game events as well. However, since most people tend to wear only 4-6 items of clothing, you’ll want these events to be relatively infrequent so it’s paced over a period of time. Here are a few possibilities:
If you jump multiple pieces in a single turn receive a foreplay bonus
If you promote a piece to a king/queen receive a foreplay bonus
If you jump a king/queen receive a foreplay bonus
If you jump a king/queen with a regular piece your partner must strip an item of clothing
When you win a game, your partner must strip an item of clothing
Best 3 out of 5 games selects a sexual reward as the ultimate winner
The foreplay bonus could be determined by rolling sex dice or using foreplay cards from another sex game.
Other Variations
Using the EveryGame app on the iPad, it’s easy to create new images for the checker pieces. This opens up a few more creative possibilities (use sticky labels on physical pieces if desired – numbers mapping to detailed descriptions if required). Here are some other ideas that could be incorporated into a sexy checkers game:
Assign each piece with a sex position or activity (blow job, cunnilingus, doggie style, anal sex, bondage, roleplay, etc.). Randomly or strategically place the pieces on the board. Last sex position left on the board is the one performed.
Assign each piece a body part (hand, leg, lips, pussy, cock, foot, butt, etc.). When you jump a piece, you must use the body part of the jumper to stimulate the body part(s) jumped.
Assign each piece the name of a person (celebrity, historic figure, friend, politician, fictional character, cartoon, etc.). When you jump a piece, you must also describe the two or more people doing something nasty together.
Use wrapped chocolates or candies as the checker pieces and enjoy them each time you capture one or two.
If you want more sexy ideas for your adult board games, download the Frisky Foreplay Game. It has over 200 foreplay ideas for each of you (male and female). The sexy activities range from warm & loving to wild & kinky. Play the game as is or use the ideas in your own couples games. In Frisky Foreplay, there are six intensity levels with 36 foreplay ideas per level that map to two dice. If you play multiple games of checkers, you could advance to a new level for each game played and roll the dice to determine a foreplay favour to perform when a capture is made.
I hope you enjoyed these ideas to make your own adult board game design based on checkers. Please leave a comment describing your variations of foreplay games using the checker board/pieces.
One of the things I like about adult board games is that they provide a semi-random and fun way to introduce new sex related topics or ideas. If you want to make your own sex game or spice up another board game that you enjoy playing, you’ll face the challenge of coming up with creative erotic activities to include in your game. A similar mechanism is useful in relationship games that involve intimate questions. You may be bursting with questions to ask a new or even long term partner but you don’t want to come across as an interrogator at an inquisition. An entire spectrum of intimate questions could be included in a board game format and revealed randomly in a fun way.
Many adult games use decks of cards with sexy questions, foreplay ideas, pleasuring activities or erotic challenges organized into categories or intensity levels. Cards provide enough space to include a reasonable amount of detailed text or graphics to describe an activity with appropriate flavour text as well. The content still needs to be succinctly written in just a few short sentences (unless you have really big cards). Unfortunately this requires leaving out a fair bit of background information that may be useful for some couples. This leads to the primary source of obtaining ideas for your game activities.
Many sex related ideas are best collected into a book format so they can be presented with sufficiently detailed background and contextual information. But the extra detail does introduce a different problem – individual ideas are not as convenient to access when you want them. I have a huge collection of relationship enhancement books. They all have at least a few unique and wonderful ideas that would be amazing to try out at different times. In fact, the more books you have the more difficult it becomes to find just the right activity to suit your mood. Also, once you’ve read a book, you may not necessarily remember the idea when the time comes to use it. All the detailed background information is still in your head mixed in with all the other stuff you think about. What you need is a mechanism to trigger your recall when you’re in a situation to actually use the idea. When you’re playing a foreplay game, it’s a perfect time to trigger that recall and get frisky.
Most couples have a collection of relationship enhancement or sex books or have at least come across articles about the subject in magazines or online. Although you may want to introduce new ideas in your game or help people learn more, you need to assume players have some level of background information already. The trick is to craft the idea in a way that most effectively ties in cues to related concepts that you expect people know. Your game provides a fun way to refresh their memory and create new memories as well.
As an adult board game designer, you’ll want to read as many books on the subject as possible while collecting key ideas as you go. Use a mind map or spreadsheet to record the essence of the idea. When you are designing your game, you can quickly scan the information and trigger your own recall. Without copying directly, you’ll be able to work the idea into your concept and more easily adapt the flavour text of the activity to your theme.
After creating the PNG images for the initial set of hunter and vampire oriented foreplay cards for Suck!, I was finally able to play test the adult board game design on the iPad. I am very happy with the basic play of the game. The mix of the movement and foreplay dice seem to work well together. Also, the chase aspect of the game does seem to add a bit of excitement and extra fun. However, during play testing it became obvious that the female player had a distinct advantage and won almost every time. Apparently I gave the vampiress a fairly significant bias for increasing her skill level in both the vampire and hunter categories.
Even though I tend to favour women, the foreplay activity cards had to be modified to make the game play more balanced. Gaining blood droplets corresponding to each skill category also needed to be balanced. I went through all the cards again and modified the text for some so they were not specifically favouring the female player. I also added a few additional cards with a male bias to mirror female cards I wanted to keep as is. Although it’s not perfect, subsequent play testing seemed to indicate it was much more balanced. (Note that due to the nature of the board game and time frame involved to make it available for download, full play testing that involved couples engaging in the various foreplay activities was not feasible. Most of the play testing was simulated so skill points were rewarded without the erotic challenges being performed.)
Suck! the vampire sex game for couples is ready to play.
Here is a download link for the zip and ege files:
If you have EveryGame for the iPad, you know how to load this file to play it. The ege file is effectively the zip file with the extension modified. Note that the zip file contains all the image files, the xml control files and the rules in PDF format. You can update these files to add or remove foreplay cards if you desire.
A Physical Version of Suck!
Lately I have been creating adult board game designs to work with the EveryGame app for the iPad. It’s great for relatively rapid prototyping and saves paper and printer ink. But the main benefit for sex games is that you can play it in bed and perform the foreplay activities without messing up the board. Just turn it off, turn each other on and start it back up right where you left off.
However, not everyone has an iPad to play with. So, I have been thinking of how to play Suck! using a physical board game. The Suck! zip file contains all the images that you need. You could them print out to play. Here is a PDF version of the board design which should produce a clearer print: SuckVampireBoard.pdf . It does have a lot of black so it might be cheaper to bring the image to a photography print kiosk and get it done. You may want to get it laminated or placed in a plastic protector too.
The card images could be arranged in a word processor to print 10 per page. You could align them to a business card template and use business card stock if desired. Or, print them on thicker paper and cut them out. For my prototypes, I laminate sheets of cards and cut them out so they’re tougher and smoother to support shuffling.
The foreplay and dice mechanism is a little trickier since it effectively uses 30 something sided dice. For this, I recommend using three regular 6 sided dice two the same colour and one different. You will also want a set of foreplay dice. Roll all three dice. If single different die is even, roll the foreplay dice and perform the action without moving. If the die is a 1, you can either move 1 or add 1 to the other two dice. Otherwise you move based on the numbers on the two same coloured dice. If you have a 12 sided die, you could use it and a regular die to determine when to perform a foreplay vs movement action.
I hope you enjoy this vampire themed sex board game for couples. Please check out some of my other foreplay game designs:
The adult board game design I’ve been working on called Suck! is coming together. After getting the EveryGame XML configuration files setup and some auxiliary images constructed for the dice, tokens and cards, I loaded it up on the iPad for the first time last week. It looked pretty good. But there was one small detail that needed to be fixed up. The fangs and heart symbol for the male player’s level meter was obscured by the History and Options menu tabs for the game. Although it seemed to require just a slight shift of the graphics objects, it made the blood chain sequences too close to each other. The circles were already a little small to shrink down further so I needed some other design element to tie them together.
I started with a horizontal bar that the rings could be bolted onto reminiscent of a dungeon restraint. After looking at it a bit, I came up with the idea to add a vertical beam in the form of a cross to balance it aesthetically. Somewhat symbolically, the blood would then start from the cross and drip down to either the fangs or the heart. This actually made more sense in a way.
Although relatively small, this design modification required a slight terminology change for the activity cards. Increasing and decreasing skill points by convention go up and down respectively. But, if the blood droplets are added to the chain starting from the cross downward like a dripping stream, then the terminology could be rephrased to add and remove. In this way there is no directional association. As you can see, even small changes can have ripple effects to other design components.
Here is the updated board design with the cross.
I have completed the movement and foreplay images for the dice mechanism. And, just last night, I completed a set of Hunter and Vampire activities to make up the foreplay cards. (HunterCardIdeas.pdf and VampireCardIdeas.pdf) I still need to enter the text onto the card images. The content may require some modifications to fit the available space.
I also created a first draft of the rules for this vampire themed adult board game design: Suck_rules.pdf
