Fantasy Affairs

Affair Scenarios for Two

Some couples want a reason to stop talking about what they might try and actually start. This board game builds its play around affair scenarios, the kind of setups people tend to daydream about. One player might be the housewife who has been eyeing the handyman, while the other is the patron who has been waiting all night for a private performance. Gameplay moves through these scenarios with a die and two markers.

Each scenario is a prompt rather than a script, so the two people playing decide how far to take it. Fantasies can be playful or bold, and the cards leave room for either.

Thirty-Six Creative Kisses Written Into Play

The kissing is the most distinctive part of the game. The Creative Kiss Cards describe thirty-six styles, such as the Butterfly Kiss, where you sweep your eyelashes past your partner's cheek before you kiss, or the hostage kiss, where you tape your mouth shut and beg to be released so you can kiss your partner. These are meant as foreplay that runs alongside the fantasy scenarios, not as a separate exercise.
