Dirty minds review

Dirty Minds is an adult, sexually themed board game that is widely available and promises a fun time with your friends or maybe even family. Designed for 2 or more players, cards give clues to an object that a player must guess. However, this game has a naughty spin! Although the objects are harmless and clean, the clues all sound sexual in nature to someone with a dirty mind! The naughtier your thought pattern, the more difficult it is to guess the clean item hinted at in the cards and the less likely that you'll move yourself to the end of the board and be declared winner.

In theory, the game sounds fun. In practice, it was more cliche and predictable in reality. I played with a couple of friends and my fiance, all of whom I was completely comfortable being goofy and sexual around but none of us had a good time. While any of the clues could be looked at in a sexual overtone, it was easy to get over that after the first play or two. After that, there was little fun to be had out of trying to convince one's mind to think clean because no one was thinking sex anymore. On the other hand, while some of the questions were too easy, some were just too hard and left the competitive player feeling a bit put off.

Perhaps the game would have been more fun with more players or teams or perhaps the atmosphere wasn't right. I imagine that this game would be more enjoyable after a few drinks, perhaps during a girls night out or in-home sex toy party. Because of its nature, you wouldn't necessarily play it with coworkers or family but it's not so risque that you couldn't play it with them, as long as everyone involved has an open mind.
