A Year of SEX! Card Game

What Is a Couples Card Game for Sex?

Keeping intimacy alive in a long-term relationship takes a little effort — and sometimes, a little creativity. The couples card game for sex from Kheper, titled A Year of SEX!, is a playful, low-pressure way to bring novelty and connection back into your relationship. Priced at just £6.99, it's one of the most accessible intimacy tools you'll find. Whether you've been together six months or sixteen years, a structured prompt can open conversations and experiences you might never have thought to explore on your own. Research consistently shows that sexual satisfaction is closely linked to relationship quality and open communication between partners — something a simple card game can genuinely support.

The game is designed around a simple but effective concept: one card per week, for 52 weeks. That's a full year of guided intimacy, without any pressure to do everything at once. If you're also exploring other aspects of your sexual health and wellbeing, you might find our Condoms and Sexual Health collection a useful companion resource.

How Does A Year of SEX! Card Game Work?

The mechanics couldn't be simpler. Each of the 52 cards contains a prompt — an activity, a conversation starter, or a challenge — designed to encourage couples to try something new or revisit something they've enjoyed before. The prompts vary in tone and intensity, so there's something for every comfort level.

• Shuffle the deck at the start of the year (or whenever you begin playing)
• Draw one card per week together
• Read the prompt aloud and discuss it with your partner
• Decide together whether to follow the prompt as written or adapt it to suit your preferences
• Reflect on the experience before drawing the next card the following week

There's no scoring, no winners, and no pressure. The game works because it removes the awkwardness of suggesting something new — the card does it for you.

Who Should Use A Year of SEX! Card Game?

This game is suitable for any consenting adult couple who wants to add a little structure and fun to their intimate life. It's particularly well suited to:

• Long-term couples looking to reignite spontaneity
• Newer couples wanting to explore boundaries together in a low-pressure way
• Partners who find it difficult to initiate conversations about intimacy
• Anyone who enjoys games and wants to combine play with connection

It is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. It is not a medical device or therapeutic product, so there are no clinical contraindications — though if either partner has concerns about sexual health, speaking to a GP or sexual health clinic is always a good idea.
