52 weeks of naughty nights - adult game by Lover's Choice Inc. - review by Dawcilynh

This game is for those who are comfortable trying new things and are willing to experiment a little bit. It would be great for married couples who are looking to add some fun to their marriage or new couples who are a touch kinky in the sack.

The suggestions on the cards are things like trying new places or positions, blindfolding your lover and leading him to the bedroom, or renting an adult movie to watch together. One card asks you to "Explore playing a fantasy role with your lover one night this week. Create a scenario that you know will turn him on. Make it sexy and playful." A card that undoubtedly would leave some couples feeling a bit awkward. As such, I wouldn't recommend this game for anyone who is not completely trusting in their relationship or comfortable trying new ideas in the bedroom.

I personally think the cards are really fun, they get us to try things that maybe we wouldn't have otherwise tried. My husband also likes them (though he admittedly hates games). It allows us to be spontaneous and get out of the rut that we get into sometimes. With things like massage giving, hidden notes and strip teases, it has all the makings for a great year. But let's be real, you will go through them all in a couple months at best because they are just too fun to stop at one a week!

The game is played however you wish, but it did come with suggested rules. It suggests that you and your lover take a card each week and follow the directions on the card for a fun time. But you can choose to play it however you would like and will probably draw more than one card per week. No matter how you play, everyone involved is a winner!

The games comes in a black box. Inside is a black satin drawstring bag. Inside the bag are four strips of 13 cards each attached together like an accordion by perforated edges. You must separate the cards before play, which can be a bit tedious, but not too awful. When the cards are separated, the perforated edges remain very visible, but do not interfere with play at all.

My husband and I choose to play so that the first card that you draw is optional, but if you choose to discard it, you only get one more card and it must be done. But that is just one way to play, and I only recommend it if you and your partner are fully trusting of one another. If you are unsure about whether you could play that way, I would suggest that you keep drawing until you find a card that you like and set aside the cards that you do not like for later use as your relationship evolves.

The cards are like scratch lotto tickets. The suggestions on the cards are secret until you scratch the surface, which is great for suspense and mystery. And after they are scratched, they can be used over and over for as long as you would like. The cards also come with the Spanish translation on them for Spanish speaking couples.

I very much like the design of these cards. They are classy and just the right size. They are not awkwardly shaped or sized. The only thing I didn't like about the design was the way they came all attached accordian style in strips instead of pre-cut individual cards.

There were some cards that we couldn't use or felt that we didn't want to use, as is expected with most games like this one.

For example, we could not use the card that asked my husband to draw me a bubble bath, as we only have a shower. And we chose not to use the card that asked me to entice him each day for five days leading up to a "night that he will never forget" because we were just not comfortable with that idea. We take bedroom time as fun and light-hearted for the most part and this card seemed a bit too serious for us.
