52 weeks of romance - love game by Lover's Choice Inc. - review by Tessa Taboo

This game seems to be geared towards couples that have been together for a while and need something to spark the passion, or maybe newer couples that just aren't that great at being passionate towards each other. The point of the game is to give you weekly tasks to do that are related to sexual and passion inducing things.

Basically, you have 52 lotto type scratch-off tickets that are about the size of the palm of my hand. They are smaller than a business card, and half of it is in French, and the other half of it is in English. So there isn't room to be very descriptive on the card. Keep in mind that I did not rip open the box and scratch off every card for the purpose of this review. I am going to do a follow up when we've been doing it for a while, but this is what I can tell you now:

Some of the cards say 'For Her Eyes Only' and some say 'For His Eyes Only'. You pick a card and scratch it off, and it gives you a task. Some are for immediate use, and some take planning (and money). If it takes planning, you are supposed to keep it a secret. One of the cards I got said "5 Days Of Seduction: Seduce your loved one over the course of this week. Start things off by sending him a sexy love note. Each day, entice him with suggestive instructions, tantalizing visions and alluring possibilities. Let his mind run wild thinking of you."

It seems odd for this to be in there, because if you knew how to keep your partner lusting after you for a week, you wouldn't need this game. I won't say I'm totally unsatisfied with it just yet though, because there could be some pretty good cards mixed in the deck somewhere. And I didn't expect EVERY single one to be great, but if it gives us at least a few ideas that we haven't tried before, then I'd say it was worth the price.

It would be better designed if the cards had some sort of symbols on them, that led you to pick and choose if you wanted something that could be done right then, or something to play out through the week.

The outer package is a box that is about the size of a box of checks. when you open it, there is a black silky drawstring bag that has a large tag on it with the instructions. They say, basically, to pick a card each week, alternating the for him and for her cards. Inside the bag is a bunch of scratch tickets that you have to tear apart. As I mentioned above, they are smaller than a business card, and it has the instructions twice on each card. Once in French and once in English. So you can imagine the amount of wording that could be fit on each card (not very much). The bag is kind of cheap and the nubs on the edges of the preforated cards had already snagged mine a few times before I even opened the box. Nothing major though. If I would have given the game as a gift, I wouldn't have been embarrassed at the condition it was in. The scratch off cards seemed to be a little more messy than the lottery ones, but that could be due to the fact that you have to scratch off the whole card, and not just sections.

It just goes to show that the product descriptions can sometimes be a little misleading. When I saw this, I was under the impression that it would be more like a game. But it's really more like a weekly to-do list, and you don't know what you are getting into until you start.
