As social morality began to loosen (what many call a decline), the big rage among adults was adult party games. One of the first was “Bottoms Up” but it didn’t end there. Today, there are more party games for adults than you can imagine. But what exactly IS an adult party game? Well, for those of you who have been living in a cave for the last 30 years, we will give you a brief overview of the various types of adult party games that you are likely to come across.

The first adult party games were probably the most dangerous because they involved drinking. lots. One of the first drinking games for adults was “Bottoms Up”. The premise of the game was basically quite simple. You went around the board rolling the dice and did what each square told you to do. If you landed on a Bottoms Up square, you took the shot glass from the square and drank whatever was in it. The variety of drinks that people used for the game was numerous. Those who were not so daring used wine or even soft drinks. But there were some pretty heavy drinkers in these games and it was very easy to get very drunk, very fast. Bottoms Up knock-offs came fast and furious, all focused on the theme of drinking.

But drinking games weren’t the only party games for adults. From drinking we move on to sex. There were as many adult sex game titles as there were drinking games when the adult party game craze hit its stride. One of the most popular adult sex games today is “Monogamy”. It was actually voted Adult Game of the Year once. The game itself is a board game in which the pair moves around the board and follows the instructions of the cards that are turned over each time a square falls indicating that a card must be chosen. There are cards for him and for her. There are also fantasy cards.

The game is a mixture of conversation and activities. Some of the activities are relatively tame, while others can be quite exciting, depending on the level you play at. Since the game is only for 2 people, it is usually played between husbands and wives or at least one couple who are together. The board itself is very colorful and the “track” on the board is in the shape of a circle or wheel. There really is no winner or loser in this game, as in most adult party games. It is simply getting to the object, whatever it may be for each person.

While “Monogamy” is for 2 people, there are many adult party games that involve sexual activity that are for groups of people where you could end up with just about anyone in the game, even if they are the same gender. Some adult party games get pretty wild.

If you’re new to this sort of thing, you might want to start off slow by getting Monogamy and playing at the lowest level, and then work your way up. It’s a great way to get your feet wet, among other things, in the world of adult party games.
