Sex Around the World Game

Couples who want a conversation starter with more adventure than a typical card deck will find this one worth a look. Sex Around the World Game from Kheper Games turns intimacy into a trip through 36 experiences drawn from many cultures and historical periods.

Thirty-six experiences, split between two players

Each partner gets 18 cards of their own, one set marked for him and one for her, so both people take turns deciding what comes next. The cards cover an erotic Petrissage massage from France, Shibari-style bondage, early Polynesian sex bartering, and the Kama Sutra Swing position. Some cards ask players to worship an Inca phallus, and the range keeps shifting from one card to the next.

Each card is a short prompt rather than a long script, which keeps the pace brisk.

Passports, dice, and a spinner complete the setup

Two passports and two custom dice handle the mechanics, while a spinner adds a second piece of hardware to the table. A silk tie and a candle give the set physical pieces beyond the paper cards. The components are made from card stock paper, silk, and wax.

A compact set with rules in four languages

At 7 inches high, 7 inches long, and 2 inches across, the set weighs 0.73 pounds and carries a multi-color design. Its size and weight make it easy to pick up and move from room to room.

The rules are the last thing to check before you choose a set. They come in English, Spanish, German, and French, so both partners can read them in whichever language they prefer.
