Same as Five senses card game above, this scratch card game plays out in sequence, with optional “level up” cards to really push the intimacy, and separate cards for each partner with secret instructions. For this date, you will both bring a red object that you will show at certain times to signify that you are open to physical contact. Then you’ll go out to dinner and have an intentional conversation, and each time a partner brings out the red object, you’ll follow instructions to initiate increasingly intimate physical acts, from hand holding to neck kisses. So we were there, Illegal taqueriasurpassing himself on the al pastor tacos (just kidding).
Many cards urged a partner not to interrupt or resolve problems, but to ask questions and speak rudely. My date said, “I think this might be for couples who hate each other.” » I had to agree. The second part of the date involved driving and running red lights, but since we were in Brooklyn, we walked on the trash-filled sidewalk and pretended to be a broken-down suburban couple instead.
The rest of the date consisted of buying things for sexy time, like whipped cream and blindfolds. I’m vegan and had no desire to lick the cream off my chest hair, so we came home, stripped naked and did our best to keep our eyes closed (instead of a blindfold). It was overall a strange experience for both of us, I think. If you and your partner need a lot of incentive to connect, compliment each other, and be physical, this set is for you.
Date: Greg, 10/10 (Note: I didn’t find this man on Hinge; I met him the old fashioned way, at a bar at 2 a.m.)
Box: 6/10
