The 19 best sex board games

Sex Marks The Spot

Best for realizing your sex fantasy.

At a glance, this grid-style game looks similar to classics like Chess or Battleships. 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.
