The Sinner’s Wheel is a battery-operated board game that features a spinner and 8 different “games” that come in the form of wheels. The different game wheels are double-sided, and the Sinner’s Wheel includes party games as well as drinking and sexual games. Unlike the “Wheels of Desire” game that is similar in concept, the Sinner’s Wheel is made to be more hardcore.
The packaging is pretty neat. It’s plastic blister-pack packaging that shows off the wheel as well as the game wheels. The backside of the packaging includes descriptions of the eight games (which is very helpful!). The packaging, however, is larger than the game itself by far, so it may not be suitable for storage for the game.
The Sinner’s Wheel is like the more “masculine” and “intense” version of the Wheels of Desire game (also sold on EdenFantasys). While the Wheels of Desire game focused more on sensuality and female-pleasure, the Sinner’s Wheel tends to focus on more blatant sexual actions and male pleasure. The two games, however, function exactly the same in terms of how the games operate and how the batteries work, so if you own both, you really only need to keep track of one of the sinner wheels. If you do own both, though, that’s 16 different games you can play with the two wheels and a wide variety of actions.
The spinner works in a really neat way. Instead of being your average spinner like you’d expect on a regular board game, this spinner is powered by two AA batteries. The batteries will fight with you a bit in order to slip into the toy, but they do fit in. Once you do that, you can put on one of the cardboard game disks into the two pegs that hold it into place. From there, you press a button on the base of the toy. The spinner will then spin around and around until you release the button. Once you do, the spinner will point to one of the 12 actions listed on the circular game disk you just put onto the game. You then can act out the action. There really is no more rules than that, so you can easily make up your own rules and how to “win”.
There are 8 different games. Each one of the games is included on a thin piece of cardboard that is thinly laminated. The inner circle names the game itself while the outer circle gives 12 different actions you can act out. The game circles are double-sided, so while there are only four circles, you get eight games out of the entire thing because it is double-sided. Each one of the game circles includes those two holes where the game itself sits on the spinner wheel.
The eight games are:
Do Not Try This at Home: A game of Urban-Dictionary-esque sex things to try. You honestly will probably have to look these up online to know what you’re supposed to be doing. Examples include “Dirty Sanchez”, “Blumpkin”, “Woody Woodpecker”, “Rusty Trombone”, “Angry Dragon”.
To 3rd Base and Beyond: A game of sex positions to try out. Examples include “Oral”, “Scissor”, “Spoon”, “Anal”, “Pile Driver”, “Doggie”.
Neither Here nor There: A game of places you can have sex! Spin the wheel and the place is lands is where you should have sex. Examples include “Car”, “Kitchen”, “Shower”, “Garage”.
As Fun as You Can Be: This is a blank wheel. It is all blank, and you can write in exactly what you want to do with it. If you have a specific fetish or just want to put in your own suggestions, you can write them in.
Blow Me!: A wheel of more hard-core blow job suggestions such as “Lick from Ass All the Way to Head”, “Pull on Balls and Suck It”, “Deep Throat”, and “Spit on Head”.
Ass and You’ll Receive: A wheel of suggestions related to anal. Some take sex toys, so keep that in mind. Examples include: “Butt Plug”, “Rimming”, “Finger in Butt with Oral”, “Anal Sex with Toy in Vagina”, and “Motorboat Ass Cheeks”.
Risque Drinking: A drinking game to use with your friends! Examples include “Sit on Their Lap and Drink”, “Do a Body Shot”, “Does a Sexy Dance and Drinks”, “Talk Dirty in their Ear and Drink”.
Take It Off Bitch…: A strip poker game intended to get clothes off even faster. Examples include: “Put Something back On”, “All Guys Take Something Off”, “Take Something Off”, “Swap Underwear with Someone”. This is probably my least favorite game as it doesn’t have many suggestions.
Honestly, some of the games strike me as really crass. With the Wheels of Desire game, I thought things might have been a bit too softcore, but with this Sinner’s Wheel, I find myself almost feeling a bit offended by some of the games. If you and your partner tend to lean more on the hardcore side of things, the language may not put you off of the game, and you may find yourself enjoying this wheel more than the Wheels of Desire game. Some of the language was kinda off-putting to me, though, so I almost wish there was a happy medium between the softcore of Wheels of Desire and the hardcore of this Sinner’s Wheel. I just find the Sinner’s Wheel examples to be much less creative and much more interesting to me.
For storage, you do have to keep things pretty nice. Because the cardboard games don’t work nearly as well when they get bent, you do want to keep them laying flat. The packaging works for storage, but as the packaging is pretty large compared to the games themselves, you might just want to keep the game disks in a book for safekeeping. The spinner doesn’t seem to eat batteries when the batteries are in, but do make sure to remove the batteries for long periods of non-use. Because the spinner itself only says “Zero Tolerance” on it, you can easily keep the spinner out (with no wheels) without any awkward “is this a sex toy???” conversations.
Overall, I like the concept, and I like how the Sinner’s Wheel game actually works. It’s neat to see a more “advanced” spin put onto the traditional spin-the-wheel type of game. However, do keep in mind that the game suggestions are going to be more hardcore and male-centric. If you’re okay with that, then you’ll probably enjoy this game. If not, then the Wheels of Desire game is probably a better choice for you.
