Why couples love this game

Because it removes the hardest part, which is asking. A lot of what shows up on these cards is something one of you already wanted; the game makes it a card's idea rather than yours. Couples who play it consistently report finding out something they would never have raised on their own.

This is Truth or Dare with the flirty tier removed. The truths are explicit and the dares are things you would only do in private.

It is written for couples who already trust each other. There is no build-up here — the first card is as direct as the last, which is the point.

Skip freely. A pass costs nothing and is a complete answer.

Example truths and dares

• What is the last thing you pictured doing to my body?
• Where do you want my mouth right now — neck, chest, inner thigh, between my legs?
• What is something you want during sex that you have never asked for?
• Put my hand where you want it and show me the pace. No words.
• Whisper the filthiest thing you are thinking. All of it, against my ear.
• Take off one thing of mine, slowly, with your mouth if you can.

The full game has 80 of these, shuffled every time you play.

Who this game is best for

• —Established couples with real trust
• —A night with the place to yourselves
• —Anniversaries and reunions
• —Anyone who finds the conversation easier as a game

Tips to make it better

• ✦Agree the skip rule before card one, not after an awkward one.
• ✦Alternate properly. Two dares in a row and it stops being a game.
• ✦A truth answered badly is worse than a pass. Take the pass.
• ✦This deck does not work over video — most of it is physical. Long Distance Truth or Dare is the version that does.
