Monogamy Board Game; Multi-Award Winning Board Game
Monogamy Board Game; Multi-Award Winning Board Game
How many times can you play Monogamy?
With over 400 different tasks and questions on the Monogamy cards you will probably use a maximum of 4 cards at each level in any one game so you really can play this game again and again. You can also vary how you play the game, for example if you are both already in the mood why not just shuffle the 50 Fantasy Cards, pick one each and have a night to remember. In a game of boundless exploration, each time you play Monogamy, you a certain to discover something new about one another… and perhaps yourself!

Basically, I’ll run through the points that came up when we played this game, an experience we mostly enjoyed because it’s like an extended period of foreplay:
1. There are several teacher/pupil fantasies, which left us cold. They didn’t even specify teacher/STUDENT. They specially called out one play being the pupil. Hmmmm.
2. It’s all a bit tame until you get to the third round of cards, which are then a bit too involved (e.g. go off and find this thing, then do this with it for five minutes…) Some of the third-round cards involved full sexual scenarios in themselves. One involved grabbing a pack of cards and playing a whole different card game!
3. The game can last a LONG time. You’re supposed to go around the board six times. Honestly, we just got tired out. In future we’ll maybe go around twice. We also adjusted the rules so that with each turn we picked-up a card. Otherwise, again, the game just takes too long.
4. The words on the cards are (a) too small, and (b) there’s too many of them. Some of them are practically essays. I’m middle-aged. I need reading glasses. Often I had to move over to a better light source to be able to read the damn cards. And even then I struggled. This is a design flaw. Make the cards bigger OR edit down that text.
In summary, this game didn’t hit the spot for us. By the time we were getting to the end, we were so tired out that the horniness was starting to dissipate. I suppose we should’ve just had sex earlier and we were certainly tempted but we really wanted to get to the end to “play” our fantasy cards (which were things we’d already done, to be honest, like filming sex).
I mean, they should add that to the game — a “joker” game element, that means one of the players can jump straight to the fantasy part.
We live in a different world of sexuality nowadays, compared to even just a few decades ago. Thanks to the internet we’re much more knowledgable and significantly less prudish. We don’t need to be educated or coaxed into doing new things. What is fun, though, is being given permission to do things by a third party, and to verbalise sex, and being dared to do things. This game almost gets that right, but it’s just coming from the wrong direction, in which it assumes a sexually naive audience.
I got this for my partner for valentine’s Day as I thought it would be fun. I acually found this more enjoyable than I thought I would and there were very few cards we didn’t think were possible to do and we just skipped them. I seriously recommend it and keep an open mind when playing!
Prepare yourself first (waxing etc)! We played this with friends on holiday, they showed us a hybrid version using some extra cards they made themselves. It was fantastic. It changed our sex life forever. Highly recommend this game, it brought our relationship to the next level
Not a bad game as some of the other reviews say there is a lot of food related things to do, it’s a good game to kill some time have a laugh and maybe get lucky at the end of the game
We played this tonight as our valentines date night, was a great way with a glass of wine to get you relaxed and talking with your partner! Before we knew it (a few glasses later too) it turned into a steamy night for sure!! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to play again with my wife!!
Come next day, board game was great.
Is really good for couples!!
We stayed up in the hotel room playing this and it honestly was fun I was recommended this by a lot of girls on a Facebook group and I have to say I was not disappointed! It’s cheaper than eBay also.
Highly recommend
First part of the game is a bit cheesy but it’s a good laugh and it does really spice things up in the bedroom!! Great when you’ve had a few drinks or just feeling naughty!! Very teasing, makes a great night in!!
Quality of product very good , not cheap looking.
Playing – the good lady and I have played twice so far a ‘dry run’ and full . Both have been ‘interesting’ . If playing fully some preparation is needed. Just make sure you have plenty of room .
You don’t or may not be able to play until end of game but took us 2 hours this includes doing activities as per game instructions.
Will be definitely playing again on our next date night , has definitely made a difference to our relationship.
But much better for people who don’t know each other that well. Those already in strong relationships will find this a little on the vanilla side. But a nice game to play anyhow.
It had us laughing that’s for sure. Like most things in life, it helps if you accompany it with wine
Me and my partner play this occasionally, there are different ways to play or you can make your own game rules up which we did to make it a little more fun and different.
Plenty of cards to go through! Good for couples getting to know more about each other or who are a bit shy.
Before playing, make sure you buy a few treats and drinks as they come in useful when playing. We bought strawberries and sweets and some sauce incase we landed on the food.
This game is so much fun.
I was slightly sceptical at first, but myself and my partner have had some very fun times playing this.
The game is a small bit dated with the cards and a little modernising wouldn’t hurt. Otherwise, an adventurous and exciting game for couples to spice things up every now and then.
Me and my wife loved the game! In these days peoples especially in long term relationships tend to forget about each other, lost in day to day live. This game will remind You of who You are to each other, how much You still love each other. It helps to break some boundaries If one of You is quite shy. It will let You to widen horizon of Your sex life as well. It nice as a foreplay. It brings both of You closer. You can still play in it after You actually finished the game bringing sometimes wildest fantasies into your world. Some peoples maybe more kinky then things You can do in that game, but hey not everything is for everybody. I would suggest to producer as well maybe releasing more cards. There is a lot but sooner or later You will get true them all. This game is cheapest on amazon. In sex shops its doubled in price.
Overall? It’s nothing mindblowing, but it certainly is a good laugh, and did heat up the atmosphere plenty.
For an evening in, playing a board game, this is worth it! It’s fun and, at times, a lot of laughs. It’s not a ‘dirty’ game (and you don’t have to do anything explicit), but you do need to talk about your sex life in intimate detail. However, it doesn’t have much re-play value.
Overall, this game is suitable for adults – especially couples who’ve been together for several years.
Great game for couples. Really enjoyed playing this game with my other half. We spent a lot of time playing level 1 as it was very interesting finding out more about each other. Some things we weren’t so keen on and were soon making up our own rules!! We’ve played this a few times and sometimes get further than others. There are lots of different options for the game to choose how long you play each level for and you can skip level 1 if you want to just to get to the more interesting bits. Definitely worth buying.
I actually think this game is awesome, whether played for the whole six rounds or even just for three! There are so many different questions and activities that it’s never boring, I’ve probably played it about six or seven times in the last 3 months! I wouldn’t say it’s boring for people who have been married for ages because there are a few interesting questions that maybe you don’t actually know about your partner and for the activities….well it’s always nice to spice things up a bit again I think! It was a good way to try new things with my relatively new boyfriend (6 months) and I would definitely reccomend it to all couples 🙂
We don’t take things too seriously, and have a laugh with it. Watching my other half do a sexy lap dance was comical as he is not the smoothest mover and I nearly died from laughing was one extreme, and the other extreme was something as simple as tantric breathing for 2 minutes, I don’t think we made it past 30 seconds as it was really powerfully exciting and something we had never thought of or knew about before. We mention the tantric breathing every day to each other since. You can play the full game (going round the board twice for each level) or you can just do it once for each level or go straight for the last round. There is a lot of freedom there.
It has definitely brought a bit of light into our relationship and for that alone, it is worth 5 stars.
My wife was even more sceptical than I but we prepared to give it a go. We both felt a little self conscious at first but, by the time we were halfway through the game my wife made clear that she was well into the mood and that it was proving a bit of an effort to stick to the game (in the best possible way).
We really liked the way in which the game built up gradually, giving time to chat about what we appreciated about each other before getting more pulse racing. We also liked the freedom of the rules. Both of us enjoy love making and we aren’t prudes but we can also both be a little self conscious: In the course of normal love making neither of us would be particularly inclined to suddenly pour yoghurt over the other and start licking it off; the other person would probably give them a withering look of ‘What on earth do you think you’re doing?’ But the context of the game made all kinds of things we wouldn’t normally be brave enough to try some how quite natural (and we didn’t regret it!)
There were several points where we might have given up on the game altogether (as several other reviewers did) but we found the self discipline to stick with it and are glad we did; although we were absolutely gagging for it long before the end, it just heightened our anticipation (and meant we did a lot more things than we might otherwise have done).
The one main disappointment was the fantasy cards which, to be honest, we found largely in bad taste; when a game is called ‘Monogamy’ it did come as something of a surprise that one of the fantasies was a wife swap. Several of the others were in a similar vein. There were some we might have used or adapted; to be honest, we didn’t bother with them by that point.
Having gone from being very sceptical we would both say that it gave us one of our bests nights in, literally, years and certainly intend to play it again before too long.
I bought it after reading reviews here and it absolutely lived up to expectations. My boyfriend had been away all week so I got some new sexy lingerie, loads of nibbles, a bottle of gin and this game.
It says it takes a couple of hours but we were playing most of the night. It eradicates any barriers you have between you and your partner, I didn’t even realise we had any but it certainly encouraged us to try different things.
The way each round becomes more and more saucy is a great way to ease you into it and the final fantasies are just great.
As some of the rounds include foods I would recommend, ice cream, any chocolate or raspberry sauce and just fun crisps etc.
We had a few drinks to relax and started to play. We drew the line at sexy dancing but everything else was ok. The more drinks we had the more relaxed we became and things got steamier and steamier. By the end we were covered in baby oil and had done things we hadn’t done in years and thoroughly enjoyed it.
My wife won and said her fantasy was to get a massage with a happy ending and not to do any of the fantasy cards – who am I to argue. She was a little retisant in the beginning but at the end she asked when we were going to play again. Next Friday and I can’t wait.
I bought it a year ago as a present and we played it like 4-5 times, but it was loads of fun every time. We would play more often if it didn’t require so much preparation (sliced fruits, whipped cream, alcohol, sexy outfit…. shower (lol, just kidding =D ) ).
Some cards are so-so, but some are very interesting, give you some new ideas and really turn you on for the final part of the game.
So, don’t hesitate, give it a try, you are definitely going to have a romantic evening (at least) and it’s totally worth 18 pounds.
Also it’s not a one-time-game, you can play it many times – by the time you’ll be done with all the cards you are gonna forget what was in the beginning, so you can start all over again =). As I said, we played like 4-5 times and we still have some cards we haven’t seen yet.
Oh, after writing this review I feel like playing again =) I think I’m gonna arrange another Monogamy-evening this weekend.
This won’t be for every couples taste and you may well want to adapt the game play to suit your relationship.
The game works through three levels. The first is tame and is primarily about personal discovery. The second stage starts to get a bit more adventurous though is comparatively tame still. The questions and activities will probably start to push your boundaries. The final and third stage will almost certainly push your boundaries and needs to be treated with some care as some may find it a little much. Of course there will be those that will love this. It’s worth noting that not everyone enjoys being told they should have to do this or the other.
I would suggest playing in a warm place as you might not enjoy this if your shivering. You will also need some basics, yoghurt, cream, ticklers, blindfold etc. The game does try to use things you would find in most households.
Great to get you talking and doing.
Before buying this game I read some reviews and got the impression it was mostly designed for couples who had been together for decades, had a flock of children, and no time for “sexytimes.” I was very pleased to find out that this is not the case and highly recommend Monogamy for all couples of all ages no matter how long you have been together for. It is a lot of fun and yes, it’s sexy. Because it is in a game format it will make you dare to do things you might not otherwise bring yourself to do in front of your partner – or to your partner. It is like a 2 hour long foreplay that will tease you and boy is it worth the wait! I do recommend having a couple of drinks whilst playing the game especially if you are a bit on the shy side. My partner and I decided to skip the erotic dancing as this made us both a bit uncomfortable. A great thing about the game is of course that no one is forcing you into anything you don’t want – if you don’t want to do something move on to the next bit. Done!
It is not the most sophisticated of the board games but it does not have to be, it works perfectly fine the way it is, and I can’t stress enough how much fun the game is. Not only will you be teased and pleased erotically but you will also learn new things about your partner, what he likes, what he thinks of you and believe me it’s such a self-esteem boost! Very cute anecdotes come out as well – I learned my boyfriend first realized he loved me when I was having a hissyfit in the kitchen swearing at the frying pan trying out a new recipe – unsuccessfully needless to say.
Can’t wait for the next sexytimes with Monogamy..!
