When I first received the game Passion Dice, I thought the concept of a dice-rolling sex game was pretty lame. As I looked at the packaging, the generic form of the two lovers in embrace on the front with the dice prominently displayed on the back, my eyes landed on the "GET DRESSED" dice. I thought, getting dressed should never be an option for a love-making game. The whole idea of the game Passion Dice was written off in my head as repetitive and boring. I thought, you could save your money and make a paper orgami fate-decider and that would be a more fun game to play. Those have many options, and they're fun to operate!

It took me a while to get around to what I assumed would be some very boring instruction-reading material. Well, I was wrong. If for nothing else, the instructions are fun to read. The game itself turned out to be pretty exciting.

The main objective of the game is to get yourself and others naked. That is plain to see. However, the game plays out in a manner that would be suitable in a civilized adult party situation. I can imagine even the most boring people intrigued enough to play this game simply for the fact that it can be a lot of fun to just see other people naked. An added bonus would be if you got that hot guy at your work that you can't stop staring at to join in. This game could be a huge hit for people that are into group situations and / or foot fetishes.

The Rules
1. Players have to have equal amounts of clothing on.
2. Jewelry doesn't count as a clothing item.
3. Foot fetish-friendly: Socks AND shoes count as one item EACH "so they can be removed one tantalizing item at a time".
4. Couples: For optimal viewing, sit across from one another.
5. Group: Alternate sitting (i.e. boy, girl, boy, girl, boy...)

To Play:
Play clockwise. Pick someone to roll the three dice provided. Each dice contains the following words on it's side: PASS, SOLO, SHOTGUN, COVER-UP, DRESS, and NAKED.
The outcome of the roll is as follows:
3 Unmatching Dice: Do nothing; better luck next time!
2 "PASS" Dice: Pick someone (includes self) to lose an item of clothing. Roller gets to pick the item to be lost.
2 "SOLO" Dice: Roller loses an item of clothing and picks which item unless there is only one item left.
2 "SHOTGUN" Dice: Sort of the "wild card": Roller chooses who loses what, up to one item.
2 "COVER-UP" Dice: Roller has the option to put one item of clothing back on.
2 "REDRESS" Dice: Roller chooses someone (includes self) to completely redress. (I suppose this would be good if you were playing with someone you did not want to see naked.)
2 "NAKED" Dice: A tease-Do nothing.
3 "NAKED" Dice: Roller chooses to have any or all of players to lose all items of clothes.

The game plays on, until every single player is nude. When everyone is naked, the game is over. Yay!

There are some additional points noted in the instructions: Players decide whether or not they want to continue to roll when they find themselves naked. They may decide to just be "out", or to keep rolling in hopes of the "COVER-UP" or "REDRESS" rolls to put them back into the game. Also, when playing as a couple, you should try to be more strategic with clothes going on and off. Technically, the last person with any clothes on is declared the "winner", but the rules state everyone wins! The instructions also contain a clause to remind players to never force anyone to do anything they don't want. In other words, if someone's feeling too uncomfortable, they have the option of finding something else to do.

As for my dream top five list of people I'd like to see naked, I picked two females and three males. Here's the list I came up with:

Natalie Portman-I know she's "officially" done a nude scene, but that crap ain't cutting it. Plus, I'm finding it hard to think of a man who wouldn't like to see Natalie naked.
Johnny Depp-He's the sexiest man alive according to People and half the world, yet I still haven't seen ALL of him.
Anne Hathaway-She's pretty, she's cute. I've never seen her naked.
John Stewart-It's my list. Don't judge me.
Andy Samberg from SNL-Again, my list. What can I say? I love his nose and crooked smile. (Honorable mention: Jason Segel of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He didn't make it because I've already seen him naked. It was nice. I smiled.)

So, who's on your dream top 5 people you'd like to see naked list?

I found that I enjoyed the Passion Dice game. I've seen my lover naked many times, but the relaxing atmosphere of a game allowed me to sit back and really enjoy the view. The game played out a lot longer than anticipated, but what happened afterward sealed the deal as to whether or not I'd play again (yes!). You really can work yourself up when you have to sit and stare and be patient. It sort of made me feel like a salivating dog that was told it could not touch the steak sat in front of it. However, in the end, the dog gets the steak and it's delicious taste is heightened by the desire.
