Cosmo's truth or dare - love game by Hearst - review by Atargatis

Truth or Dare is one of my favorite all-time games, and I'm a fan of Cosmo, so I was very excited to review Cosmo's version, their "Naughtiest Sex Game Ever!"

The game came packaged in a magnetic complex folding bright pink box which was shipped in a much larger cardboard box filled with a piece of folded mega-bubble wrap.

The game contains rules imprinted on the interior of the box. The rules are as follows:
"How to Play: Spread the cards out face down, then take turns with your guy picking one at a time. Whenever one of you selects a card, the other person must either choose truth or dare. Once the choice is made, the person holding the card reads the challenge out loud… and the other person must take it!"

The game itself is a set of 120 cards. When first opened, a small ring of plastic is wrapped around them, probably to keep them together during transit. The cards are shiny on both sides and smooth, probably glossed paper. They are rectangular, about 4" by 5" with slightly rounded corners. Each card is glossy and brightly colored. On every card there is a side with words: a "Truth" question is listed on one end in white letters on a bright pink, dark blue, or dark pink background. If you rotate the card 180 degrees the "Dare" question is upright in white letters on a yellow, orange, or red background. Very stylish. The backs of all of the cards are either fuchsia, magenta, or purple.

As far as I can tell there is no difference between the quality or category of the questions on cards of different colors.

I think part of the fun of this game is reading the cards and being surprised, so I'm not going to write down many of the truths and dares. I think three cards as examples is a good quantity that won't ruin the excitement if you buy this game, you'll still have 117 awesome cards left to discover.

Card One:
Truth- If I were to go commando, would you think it's sexy or skanky?
Dare- Run your tongue around the perimeter of my belly button, then softly blow on the wet trail you leave behind.

Card Two:
Truth- How long would your ideal quickie last? Describe every moment.
Dare- Write an explicit note to me, then hide it someplace where I'll find it.

Card Three:
Truth- How long do you think you would last before jumping on me if I were to strip and do a sexy dance?
Dare- In one long lick, make your way from my ankle to my inner thigh.

As I mentioned, I really love truth or dare, but I always liked answering truths or doing dares more than asking questions. And I like naughty dares, not stupid ones. This game is a solution to my problem! No longer are there awkward pauses of "It's your turn." "Truth or dare?" "Dare" "Uhhhhhh… uhhhmmmm…" trying to come up with something to ask. Maybe no one else has this problem except me, but I sure do.

I wouldn't recommend this game for people who don't like the color pink. Or Cosmopolitan. It is very, very pink in color and … pop-culture, Cosmopolitan in nature. I personally think it's great but I can see how it can be a bit extravagant for some.

Personally I might have liked to see it be a bit naughtier, a bit dirtier, but this works great for foreplay for me and it will probably make you laugh, likely turn you on, and surprise you.

I bet that this game would be really fun with more than two people. I want to try that. It would be a blast.

This is a very portable game, it's filled with great ideas (and a few ones that I think are lame, but not enough to detract from the overall picture) and I think it's a really worthwhile investment.

We laid out a bunch of the cards face down on my bed and got through about three cards before we got too frisky to bother with them anymore. In my opinion, this means they work! And it means it will be even more fun in the future to sit down and really go through them without doing things NOT on the cards.

I still like this toy, it's pretty entertaining for small gatherings and I'm glad that I have something like this in my toy bag. I don't use it very often, however, and I find that it's more something to laugh at than something to get me aroused and ready to play.
