How to Play Monogamy Board Game

Monogamy: A Hot Affair With Your Partner is an adults-only board game designed to enhance intimacy and deepen emotional and physical connection between couples.

The game builds gradually from fun and flirty to more adventurous and romantic, with players completing activities as they move around the board. It’s less about competition and more about shared experience.

Preparations

  • Players: 2 (strictly a two-player game)
  • Contents:
    • Game board
    • 2 playing pieces
    • 1 die
    • 1 “Passion Level” counter
    • 50 “Monogamy” cards
    • 25 “Fantasy” cards
    • Instruction booklet

Setup:

  1. Each player chooses a piece and places it on the Start space.
  2. Set the Passion Level counter to Level 1.
  3. Shuffle the Monogamy and Fantasy card decks separately and place them face down.
  4. Decide on boundaries before starting. Consent and communication are essential.

Gameplay

  • Players take turns rolling the die and moving around the board.
  • Each space corresponds to a card category or action:
    • Talk – Emotional and conversation-based prompts.
    • Kiss – Light physical affection challenges.
    • Touch – Intimate, sensual activities.
    • Monogamy Card – Mixed prompts (fun dares, light roleplay, deeper interaction).
    • Passion Level Up – Move the counter up a level (3 total). Higher levels lead to more intense experiences.

Card Instructions

  • Cards often offer multiple levels (1, 2, or 3) of the same prompt, with increasing intimacy.
  • Follow the level based on your current Passion Level.
  • If you land on a Monogamy space, draw from that deck.
  • Some Monogamy cards instruct you to draw a Fantasy Card. These come into play near the end of the game and may be saved for later.

Winning the Game

There’s no winner or loser in Monogamy. The purpose is to connect, communicate, and enjoy one another in a structured yet playful way.

Most versions end when players complete a full circuit of the board and reach the Fantasy space. One Fantasy Card is drawn, and the couple can choose whether to act on it immediately or save it for another night.

Strategies and Tips

While strategy isn’t the point, here are some pointers to improve the experience:

  • Set boundaries in advance
    Talk about comfort zones before the game. Feeling safe and respected is essential.

  • Don’t rush the experience
    The game is about connection, not speed. Take your time with each card.

  • Skip or modify cards as needed
    If a card feels uncomfortable, skip it or adjust it.

  • Use Fantasy Cards intentionally
    These are the most intimate or adventurous prompts. You can draw one and plan for it later.

Overview of the Game Rules

  • Two players only
  • Roll the die, move around the board
  • Complete the action or draw a card based on the space
  • Increase Passion Level as prompted
  • Game ends on the Fantasy space
  • No winner — just connection and shared experience
