I was very disappointed in "Exploring ultimate fantasies game". I was looking forward to a game to get me and my partner in the mood. This game was geared to get couples in the mood and add a little bit of spice. The instructions are simple but keeping score becomes a chore rather than fun. It was disappointing as a game and the items were fairly generic separately. This game is for an inexperienced timid couple or is better suited as a gag gift. It is not a very good game to spice things up for couples.

The game was confusing and after taking enough time to figure it out, the mood was pretty broken. The general idea is for both partners to start with at least 6 articles of clothing and to roll the dice to reach 300, using the 1 as 100 points, the 5 as 50. Each time the player reaches 300 points, they draw a passion card. You use the items as directed by the card you draw. The passion cards dictate how to remove an article of your partners clothes although some are oddly worded. An example of a passion card " Kiss lover passionately while removing one article of clothing from your lover".

Once someone ends up naked, you can break into the fantasy cards. They consist of generic sexual acts, with nothing too "out of the box". For example, " While your lover is standing, stimulate your lover with vibrator and feather". They are supposed to appeal to the couple, but left us yawning. You end the game with "fulfilling your ultimate fantasy". We never got completely through the game as a game. We ended up using the items individually.

It arrived in a 12 x 12 box which does not fit in a standard nightstand drawer. The box had a welcoming photo of a couple sharing a fun intimate moment. The kit includes : 24 passion cards, 36 fantasy cards, 1 massager (AA battery not included), 1 feather, 1 Spanish fly liquid in pina colada, 3 body heat massage lotions in cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavors, 1 arm restraint, 1 leg restraint, 1 candle, 5 dice, a blindfold, and a small container of edible body paint. With first glance, the variety of products were interesting but didn't look like they were good quality.

After a glance through the passion and fantasy cards, I found very few that sparked either my partner's or my interest. The massager itself was awkward as it is a long white cylinder with a clear removable plastic topper, it was very distracting and loud once turned on. It only has on, off, and open. The "feather" was a cheap yellow feather which resembles something you would make crafts with. There was nothing sexy about it other than the feel.

The 1 Spanish fly liquids and 3 body heat massage lotions are generic from any novelty or adult store. They had a pleasant scent at the least. The arm and leg restraints were barely restraints. They consisted of 2 equal length strips of black ribbed nylon and polyester ribbon that you would find in any adult bondage gag gift. Maybe best for someone who wants to look restrained without actually feeling restrained.

The candle included was just a basic white tapered candle with no holder. There are 5 black and white dice. The blindfold was nice. It fit very securely to the face, secured with elastic bands and mostly black satin. It helped make the mood.The edible body paint came in a small container, with little scent it tasted like weak candy or old cherry lip-gloss. It did not come with an applicator so be prepared to use your fingers to apply.
