UPDATE MAY 2022: Foreplay Connect, the board game, appears to be discontinued. However, a completely unrelated cell phone app captures some of the erotic fun of a blend of the game with a sexual slant. This sex toy review remains as a reference. While you’re here, why not check out my BDSM advice, femdom advice, and BDSM scene outlines?
The Foreplay Connect Game is basically the adult version of Connect Four. The game includes two plastic pieces – one is the base and one is the actual board and 42 different chips. (21 blue, 21 pink) The game board stands at 7 inches high and about 8 inches across. The instructions are printed on the outside of the box. The box is just a regular cardboard box that opens from the top for you to pull out the chips and the board. The front of it shows an illustrated woman’s body dropping in a chip in the board. The box calls it the “Foreplay In a Row”.
A Connect-Four game like this actually has some significance for my partner and I. When we went to our first prom together (I act like this was that many years ago. It was just two.), we spent the entire after-prom party playing Connect Four. Yes, five hours of this sex game. Until that after-prom party, I had never played Connect Four in my life. So when I started missing playing Connect Four, I thought I’d check out this new, fun adult version of the game.
The rules of the game are really simple and pretty much rival the regular Connect Four rules. Both players take turns placing their little pieces inside of the game board trying to get four in a row whether diagonally, across, or down. She is supposed to use the pink chips, and he is supposed to use the blue chips, although in non-heterosexual relationships, I’m sure you can manage to choose a side. We picked our favorite colors. Once someone wins by getting four in a row, the person who won is supposed to “receive” whatever was written on her winning four tokens done by the person who lost. If it’s a draw, you play until someone wins. We even decided to play two “fun” games first just for fun before actually using the game as it was meant since this game is just so much fun – even without the sex involved.
The erotic game board itself is pretty decent. It’s made from a purple/pink plastic, and it connects really easily into the holes in the bottom-plastic piece. The board has seven different columns across where the chips can be placed, and just like in the regular game, when you drop a chip, it actually does bounce back up in that nicely satisfying way. The only complaint that we had was that the board is lacking in that “dump all pieces” feature that the original Connect Four has. In order to get the pieces back out of the board, you have to tip the board upside down onto a surface. The bottom plastic piece does have little “indentations” that work as trays to hold your pieces as well.
We ended up playing this board game quite a bit – even after the sex was done and not just for the sex part either. We played it just for the fun of the game (which is something very, very few sex games can boast). Because the pieces have obviously written sexual things on them, I wouldn’t let your children use it, but for a game between the two of you, it definitely works out to be a really great price on a really fun game. My partner usually ends up beating me though, but it’s ’cause I don’t think investing my mental energy into where to place a plastic piece is on the top of my priority list. He says it’s just ’cause I suck. I disagree.
I suppose I should let you know about the game pieces. Well, there’s 42 in all which will fill exactly all of the spaces on the board. There’s 21 blue and 21 pink. The blue pieces are all things that she would do to him while the pink is all things that he would do to her. Since the pieces are kinda small, the messages aren’t all that wordy, but they get the point across. Examples of what the blue pieces say include: “Talk Dirty”, “Massage Privates“, “Give Oral”, “Nibble Ear”, “Strip Tease”, “Model Lingerie“, “Lick ?”. Examples of what the pink pieces say: “Your Choice”, “Kiss Lips”, “Massage?”, “Tie Up“, “Tickle Body”, “Spank Bottom”, “Lick Thighs”, “French Kiss”. Okay, so maybe the pieces aren’t all that imaginative, but they get the point across. The little plastic pieces seem decently high quality, and the message is printed on both sides of the token.
This is definitely going to be staying on the top of our “board game” pile. Not only is it fun for foreplay, but it’s also amusing as just a regular board game – that’s when you know your board game is a decent one. While it’s only intended for two players, you could use this as a game for a sexually-open group but disregard some of the more intimate actions and you could take turns using these in pairs. Your imagination is really the limit on this one, and I gotta say this is one of my favorite board games that we own. While browsing their website, check out some of their adult games.
