Best sex board games 2024

I first encountered Monogamy: the board game over ten years ago, and since then many other sex board games have come and gone, yet this one has survived the test of time, and is still being sold. Consisting of a mixture of counters, die, cards, and a board with spaces, it’s designed for 2 players and is aimed at heterosexual couples – but most of the cards and tasks can be adapted for any sexual orientation.

Manufactured by UK-based sex toy firm Ann Summers, Monogamy is one of the longer sex board games out there, with the aim for you to try new forms of foreplay while also learning to communicate intimacy with your partner.

As you go around the board, you’ll land on various spaces that indicate different actions; some may suggest giving your partner a massage, others may allocate a time for you to perform a strip tease. The further you get into the game, the hotter it becomes, with each turn round the board making the erotic suggestions steamier.

It’s a pleasurable play, however it can require some extra props, such as tie and tease items and (naturally) food. Take my advice: grab some whipped cream before you play and put the cheese puffs down!

When it comes to kink, knowing where to start with a partner can feel like unknown territory. The Lovehoney Oh! Confessions card game has you and a partner take turns asking a selection of ‘either/or’ questions. If you decide you can’t answer a question, you can select to perform a forfeit suggested on the forfeit card (or create one between yourselves).

It’s designed to be played in pairs, but it could work just as well for a polycule of up to 5 individuals. Each person draws up to 10 cards, and you take it in turns to ask the question and answer them.

The game is fairly quick, but in my experience it’s really playful and lively. It allowed me to gain a better understanding of my partner’s erotic likes and dislikes, and we got a kick out of exploring shared sex memories from our past, while exploring topics that appeared on the cards. The deck is great for working out power dynamics and boundaries in your relationship, whilst keeping things sexy and casual.

Let’s get real; when life gets busy, foreplay gets forgotten – but it needn’t be! The Oh! Foreplay Sex Dice are aimed at helping you explore foreplay more. Rolling the purple action die, together with either the light pink romantic die or the dark pink erotic die, helps you come up with a wide range of ways to explore foreplay with a partner. Take it in turns to roll two of the dice, and perform the combination of tasks on your lover.

I found the combinations fun to explore. The dice roll nicely out of your hand and settle on uneven surfaces nicely meaning they can be used on bedding. Some of the combinations require a little creative thinking – like “suck” + “stomach” – and for others we ended up using our own interpretations; “blow” + “penis” was a particularly memorable combo.

The “?” side of the dice let our imaginations kick in more, allowing us to ‘choose our own adventure’ a little bit. These dice are good fun, and can be used progressively – starting off with the romantic dice and then moving up to the erotic dice – which is a great option if you’re new to learning what you and your partner like in the bedroom.

The biggest downsides are only that the purple die can be hard to read, and some of the actions are a bit similar to one another.

A proper board game, The Big Oh! sees you spiral down a pathway of exciting foreplay and intimacy building activities. Three successive levels of intensity allow you to build up arousal and desire over time, using cleverly paced game design to get you and your partner progressively more hot and bothered during an hour of play. The game comes with two counters, 3 dice, several sets of activity and question cards, and a blindfold and tickler.

As you land on the different squares, you’ll either take a card with sexy questions or tasks related to your current level, or explore each other’s bodies with the sex dice, blindfold, or tickler. Level one allows for light foreplay and sensual massage; level two has soft genital stimulation and mild kink; and level three is more focused on mutual masturbation and oral sex. There are bonus cards for use after the game ends.

I liked this game a lot, as it slowed me and my partner down and allowed us to revisit ways of pleasuring each other we had forgotten. It proved that things between us had got hotter, and we were able to add our own flare to the milder actions, reigniting playfulness. We still need to find where we put some of the bonus card packs, as one pack was lost in all the excitement.

Oral sex is rising in popularity, particularly as we’re starting to see more people from different gender and sexuality backgrounds enjoying it in movies and TV. Yet, even with oral sex becoming more normalised, there’s still very little out there on how to mix it up. This is where the Oral Fun board game can help!

The game involves rolling a dice to move along a board of oral delights. You race to the finish line, which is 69 – I’ll allow you to interpret that into your gameplay however you want. Each square offers a new idea on how to explore oral sex, from kissing an area of your partner, to introducing food, to adding in tie-and-tease play as you go down on each other. There’s also a set of trivia cards included, giving an extra opportunity to get to know your partner’s erotic tastes further.

The game requires you to have some items on hand, such as a blindfold, food, and ice cubes. The biggest downfall of the game is that it’s evidently aimed at heterosexual couples – but this could be adapted easily for anyone to take part and play.

Sex is all about exciting all of our senses, experiencing delight through touch, taste, smell, visuals, and – of course – sound. Yet freely communicating and making sounds during sex can be the hardest skill to develop with a partner. Even if you’ve had years of keeping hush in the bedroom, the Talk Dirty Playing Cards can help you become vocal – whether that’s helping you talk about your sexual likes and dislikes, or giving yourself permission to let go and groan. The card game comes with additional tips on how to talk dirty.

The deck is based on traditional playing cards, allowing you a few options to play. The first has the goal of collecting a set of 4 of the same number card. Once a player has a set, you can act out the dirty talk questions. The second way to play is similar to the card game blackjack, which allows for a longer game.

The game is light and entertaining to play, and I enjoyed the varied interactions it encouraged between me and my partner. We even saved a few cards to use later in the week to continue the fun!

Everyone’s heard of the classic board game Monopoly. This X-rated version, Sexopoly, shares many of the same gameplay elements, but swaps the theme from property development to adult entertainment, creating a light-hearted sex board game that’s more about sharing and having fun than directly instigating sex.

Sexopoly is designed to be played with up to 8 players, with the aim of the game being to build the most successful adult empire. As you work your way around the monopoly-style board, you’ll buy up adult entertainment businesses with ‘Bank of Sexopoly’ dollar notes and start raking in the cash from your XXX empire.

This adult game is different to other sex board games, as it’s not intended to enhance your sex life exactly – rather, it gives you a chance to share your sex knowledge, learn some fun sex education facts, and get competitive with close friends or partners at an adult party.

There’s even a ‘Jail’ space equivalent, which the designers aptly renamed the dungeon. There are a few slightly erotic task squares, but these are focused on receiving an optional free massage, or giving a lap dance. One to play with a sex-positive group of friends or party guests, rather than necessarily in a dedicated sex session with a partner.

At a glance, this grid-style game looks similar to classics like Chess or Battleships – and you will indeed be moving your piece across the board. But victory in Sex Marks the Spot looks a little different: at the start of the game, each player secretly writes down their ultimate fantasy on a piece of paper, and that becomes their ultimate prize if they win.

Each turn, you’ll roll two numbered dice – one red, one blue – to determine a random space on the grid to move to. Each square has a different action for you and your partner to explore, with some linking to specific cards that take you, er, deeper. The cards can vary from erotic suggestions to intimate questions. With up to 180 different challenges to try, the game can continue for hours if you desire.

Each time you land on the X square, you make a mark on your secret sheet – and, once you’ve collected six, you unlock your final fantasy. This element of randomness works fantastically – anticipation builds as players race to get six Xs, but all the while you’ll be exploring the game’s other sexy tasks, getting more and more in the mood.

There’s a welcome element of customization here, too – there are ‘Sex it up’ cards to add in if you want to make things steamier, or you can use a ‘Sexcuse me’ card if there’s a challenge you’d prefer to skip.

A real treasure, Sex!!! is one of the very few successful and popular sex board games that’s specifically intended for groups of multiple people looking to up their foreplay. Couples, throuples, or polycules – everyone can get involved in this one.

Each square is a different colour with a different action. You spin the wheel to work out which colour to move to and then perform the action with your lovers. The actions range from massage or removing a piece of clothing, to kissing and dirty talk, to fingering and oral – with the aim always to keep building up more and more foreplay among the group.

The end of the game the winner can spin the wheel again which will land on a suggested sex position. If you’re playing with more than one partner, you can either all stop then and there and enjoy sex together, or you can go off in pairs, leaving the other pair to continue until one of them finishes the game. In Sex!!! everyone’s a winner, and – refreshingly – most of the actions are universal and can be played by various sexualities, a real selling point in a field containing many, many overly heteronormative products.

It’s fair to say more value went into the equipment than the game here, but the Weekend in Bed Bondage kit still has some excellent play in it, and certainly makes travelling away for the weekend more adventurous! Perfect for those looking to try out BDSM for the first time, the kit contains eight items which all fit into a satin travel bag – a blindfold, massage candle, spanking paddle, and flogger – all of which are designed to be used with the sex dice and packs of erotic sex cards that make up the game.

There are two card packs: one giving kinky scenes for you to act out in the form of roleplay, and the other offering sexy activity ideas. You use the dice to pick who’ll play what role, and who performs the action on the card. It’s worth noting the dice “his” or “her” on each side, meaning this game is intended for heterosexual couples.

The tabletop gameplay may be a bit basic, but this kit is a great investment for those looking to explore their power dynamics in the bedroom, while learning different ways to mix up sensual and consensual sadomasochism. It’s an affordable little package, with some amazing suggestions for enhancing your sex life.

No longer is this merely a game for teens experiencing their first romantic tension: Truth or Dare for couples adapts the party classic into a mildly steamy and consistently fun conversation game for two.

Inviting your beau upstairs for coffee? Perhaps a saucy truth will put you in the mood – by all means try some of our 150+ tried and tested spicy truth or dare questions to get you started.

Or – if the Amazon reviews are anything to go by – perhaps not so much sauce after all. Many couples praised Truth or Dare for Couples for having interesting ‘truths’ and funny ‘dares’, but there’s a distinct lack of sex-appeal going on in this game.

If you’re after a night of laughs with your love, this may be the game for you; if you were hoping for something more in the style of strip poker, you might want to carry on with the guide

Arguably, Bedroom Battle is the most board-game-like board game on this list. It’s not ripping off an existing classic, and it has its own rules, design, and components. Luckily for those of you still looking to get down to business quickly, though, playing a game of bedroom battle is as simple as it is sexy.

The game is designed for two players. At the start of a round, players draw a reward card with three intimate actions listed. You and your opponent then take it in turns to play cards, with the goal of ending the round with the highest ‘sexiness’ rating. The winner gets to pick an action from the reward card, and the loser performs it. Simple!

Unlike some of the other games on this list, Bedroom Battle boasts about its inclusivity as well as its sex positivity. “It doesn’t matter if you’re straight, gay, or lesbian”, says the game’s box, “everyone can play”. Bedroom Battle even has expansion packs – just in case you wore out the first deck of cards.
