What Is a Couples Drinking Game — and Is La Tour du Plaisir Worth It?

Looking for something a little different for your next date night, hen do, or group gathering? La Tour du Plaisir — which translates from French as "Tower of Pleasure" — is a cheeky, adult-themed tower-stacking couples drinking game that brings a playful French twist to your evening. Priced at just £19.99, it sits neatly in the sweet spot between affordable and genuinely entertaining. Whether you are planning a night in for two or a lively pre-drinks session with friends, this game is designed to get people laughing, daring, and maybe blushing just a little. If you enjoy exploring other adult novelties, you might also want to browse the Condoms and Sexual Health collection at Cured Pharmacy for complementary products.

The game is part of Cured Pharmacy's growing Adult Games & Novelties range, sitting alongside hen and stag party games and couples sex games. It is designed for adults aged 18 and over, and the French-language theming adds a fun, slightly sophisticated edge that sets it apart from more generic party games on the market.

How Does La Tour du Plaisir Work as a Party Game?

The mechanics are simple — which is exactly the point. Players take turns carefully removing blocks from a stacked tower. Each block carries a printed instruction: a dare, a drinking challenge, a question, or a playful forfeit. The tension builds with every move. Pull the wrong block and the tower tumbles — and so does your dignity, in the best possible way.

Players alternate turns removing one block at a time from the tower
Each block reveals a challenge, dare, or drinking instruction
The player who causes the tower to fall must complete a forfeit
The game continues until players decide to stop or someone refuses a challenge
Drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic — the game adapts to your group

Who Is La Tour du Plaisir Suitable For?

This game is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. The content is adult-themed, and the drinking element means it is not appropriate for younger players. That said, it is versatile enough to suit a wide range of occasions and group sizes.

Couples looking for a fun, interactive date night activity
Hen party and stag night groups wanting a structured icebreaker
Friend groups hosting pre-drinks or house parties
Anyone who enjoys adult novelty games with a playful edge

Non-drinkers can absolutely join in — simply swap alcoholic drinks for soft drinks or water. The dare and challenge elements are entertaining regardless of what is in your glass.

Is La Tour du Plaisir Safe to Use Responsibly?

Any game involving alcohol carries a responsibility to drink sensibly. The NHS advises that adults should not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week, and that drinking should be spread across several days rather than consumed in one session. As a couples drinking game, La Tour du Plaisir is designed for fun — not excess. Always ensure players have access to water, food, and a safe way to get home. Never drink and drive.

If you are looking to support your overall wellbeing alongside your social life, Cured Pharmacy also stocks a range of Vitamins and Supplements that may help you feel your best the morning after a big night.

This product is a novelty game, not a medicine. However, if you have concerns about alcohol consumption or its effects on your health, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

What Is La Tour du Plaisir and What Is It Used For?

The game is intended purely for entertainment purposes for adults aged 18 and over. It is not a medicinal product and carries no therapeutic claims.

The game is designed for use at couples' evenings, hen parties, stag nights, and adult social gatherings. It can be played with alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, making it adaptable for mixed groups. Think of it as a grown-up twist on a classic format — familiar enough to pick up instantly, but with enough adult content to keep things interesting.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using La Tour du Plaisir?

If you are unsure whether your current medication is compatible with alcohol, speak to your pharmacist before playing

How Should You Use La Tour du Plaisir?

Setting up and playing La Tour du Plaisir is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step guide to get your game night started:

Remove all tower blocks from the box and stack them in alternating rows of three to build the tower
Decide who goes first — the most recently coupled-up player is a fun way to choose
Each player takes turns carefully removing one block from the tower using one hand only
Read the instruction on the block aloud and complete the dare, challenge, or drinking task
Place the used block on top of the tower to continue building upward
The player who causes the tower to collapse must complete a forfeit agreed by the group
Continue until the group decides to stop or a player refuses a challenge

What Are the Possible Side Effects of La Tour du Plaisir?

La Tour du Plaisir is a novelty game, not a medicine, so it has no pharmacological side effects. However, because the game involves alcohol consumption, there are real health considerations to be aware of. The NHS notes that drinking too much alcohol can have both short-term and long-term effects on your health.

Common effects of alcohol consumption during play:

Reduced inhibitions and impaired judgement
Slowed reaction times
Dehydration and headache
Nausea, particularly if drinking on an empty stomach
Disrupted sleep quality

Less common but more serious effects of excessive alcohol intake:

Vomiting and risk of aspiration
Alcohol poisoning in cases of very heavy consumption
Worsening of existing mental health conditions
Dangerous interactions with prescription medications

Always drink responsibly. The NHS recommends no more than 14 units of alcohol per week for adults, spread across at least three days. If you are concerned about your relationship with alcohol, speak to your GP. You can also find support through the Sleep Aid range if disrupted sleep after drinking is a concern.

How Should You Store La Tour du Plaisir?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Keep the box sealed when not in use to prevent pieces from being lost
Store out of reach of children — small blocks may present a choking hazard
Do not expose to moisture, which may warp or damage the wooden blocks
Check all pieces are present before each use and replace the box lid after play

Yes — La Tour du Plaisir is specifically designed as a couples drinking game, making it an ideal choice for a fun, interactive date night at home. The French theming adds a playful, romantic edge that works well for two players. It is compact enough to set up on a dining table or coffee table with minimal fuss.

How many people can play La Tour du Plaisir?

The game works with two or more players, so it scales from an intimate couples' evening right up to a larger hen or stag party group. There is no strict upper limit, though groups of two to eight tend to keep the pace moving well. Larger groups may want to set a time limit per turn to keep things flowing.

Is La Tour du Plaisir suitable for hen parties and stag nights?

The dare and challenge elements work brilliantly in larger groups where the social dynamic adds extra fun. It is a great way to break the ice at the start of a big night out.

What age is La Tour du Plaisir suitable for?

La Tour du Plaisir is strictly for adults aged 18 and over due to its adult-themed content and alcohol-related gameplay. It is not suitable for children or teenagers under any circumstances. Always ensure all players are of legal drinking age before starting the game.

Can you play La Tour du Plaisir without alcohol?

Yes — the game is fully adaptable for non-drinkers or mixed groups. Simply substitute alcoholic drinks with soft drinks, mocktails, or water, and the dare and challenge elements remain just as entertaining. This makes it inclusive for groups where not everyone drinks alcohol.

What is included in the La Tour du Plaisir box?

The box contains a set of stackable tower blocks printed with adult-themed dares, challenges, and drinking instructions, along with game instructions. Full contents are detailed on the product packaging. No additional equipment is required beyond your drinks of choice.

How long does a typical game of La Tour du Plaisir last?

A typical game lasts between 30 and 60 minutes depending on group size and how carefully players remove the blocks. Larger groups tend to extend the game naturally as more players take turns. You can also play multiple rounds to extend the fun across an entire evening.

Is La Tour du Plaisir safe to play responsibly?

Yes, when played responsibly with sensible drinking habits, La Tour du Plaisir is a safe and enjoyable adult game. The NHS recommends that adults drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week and always eat before drinking. Always arrange safe transport home and never drink and drive. If you need support with alcohol-related concerns, you can also explore the Personal Lubricants and other adult wellness products at Cured Pharmacy for a broader approach to adult health.

What are some alternatives to La Tour du Plaisir for adult party games?

Alternatives include card-based adult drinking games, adult quiz games, and novelty dice games — though these typically lack the physical tension and replayability of a tower-stacking format. La Tour du Plaisir stands out because the block order changes every game, keeping it fresh across multiple play sessions. Browse the full Adult Games and Novelties range at Cured Pharmacy for more options.

Can pregnant people play La Tour du Plaisir?

Pregnant players can participate in the game but should not consume alcohol — the NHS advises that the safest approach during pregnancy is to avoid alcohol entirely. Non-alcoholic substitutes work perfectly well for the drinking elements of the game. Always prioritise your health and that of your baby above game participation.

Does alcohol interact with any medications I might be taking?

Yes — alcohol can interact with a range of medications including certain antibiotics such as metronidazole, antihistamines, antidepressants, and blood thinners. If you are currently taking any prescription or over-the-counter medication, check with your pharmacist before consuming alcohol during play. You can also explore the Women's Health collection at Cured Pharmacy for guidance on medications that may be affected by alcohol.

How should I store La Tour du Plaisir when not in use?

Store the game in its original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, which can warp the wooden blocks. Keep it out of reach of children, as the small pieces may present a choking hazard. Replacing the lid after each use helps prevent pieces from being lost between sessions.

Is La Tour du Plaisir good value for money compared to other adult games?

At £19.99, La Tour du Plaisir offers strong value compared to many adult novelty games, particularly given its replayability — the block order changes every game, so no two sessions are identical. Card-based alternatives are often cheaper but tend to feel repetitive after a few plays. For a one-off purchase that can be used across multiple occasions, it represents solid value for adult entertainment.

How Should You Use La Tour du Plaisir?

Setting up La Tour du Plaisir takes just a few minutes, and the rules are easy enough to explain to any group. Before you begin, make sure all players are adults aged 18 or over and that everyone has a drink to hand — alcoholic or non-alcoholic, the choice is yours.

What Is the Correct Dose of La Tour du Plaisir?

There is no medicinal dose for this product — it is a novelty game. However, the NHS recommends that adults consume no more than 14 units of alcohol per week, and that drinking sessions are spaced out rather than concentrated into one sitting. Use the table below as a rough guide to keeping your evening enjoyable and responsible.

When Is the Best Time to Use La Tour du Plaisir?

La Tour du Plaisir works best as a pre-dinner activity, a pre-drinks warm-up, or a centrepiece game for a relaxed evening at home. Avoid playing on an empty stomach if alcohol is involved — eating beforehand slows alcohol absorption and helps everyone stay in control. The game is equally enjoyable mid-evening once the group has settled in and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Avoid playing late into the night when fatigue may impair judgement, particularly if players need to travel home afterwards. Always plan your transport in advance.

How Long Can You Use La Tour du Plaisir For?

La Tour du Plaisir is a reusable game with no expiry date — as long as all the blocks are present and undamaged, you can play it as many times as you like. Because the block order changes with every game, replayability is high. Store it correctly between uses to keep the pieces in good condition for future sessions.

There is no limit on how many occasions you can use the game, but always ensure responsible alcohol consumption each time you play.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. If in doubt, speak to your pharmacist.

What Are the Most Common Side Effects of La Tour du Plaisir?

La Tour du Plaisir is a novelty game and has no pharmacological side effects of its own. However, because the game involves alcohol consumption, it is important to understand the common effects that alcohol can have on your body. The NHS notes that even moderate drinking can affect how you feel during and after a session.

Dehydration and thirst
Headache during or after drinking
Reduced inhibitions and impaired judgement
Slowed reaction times
Nausea, particularly if drinking on an empty stomach
Disrupted or poor-quality sleep

What Are the Less Common Side Effects of La Tour du Plaisir?

Less commonly, heavier alcohol consumption during a game session may lead to more significant effects. These are more likely if players consume alcohol quickly, skip meals, or are not used to drinking regularly.

Vomiting and stomach upset
Dizziness and loss of balance
Memory gaps or blackouts in cases of excessive intake
Worsening of anxiety or low mood the following day
Increased heart rate

What Are the Serious Side Effects of La Tour du Plaisir?

In cases of very heavy or rapid alcohol consumption, serious effects can occur. Alcohol poisoning is a medical emergency. Signs include confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, pale or blue-tinged skin, and unconsciousness. If you suspect someone has alcohol poisoning, call 999 immediately and place them in the recovery position. Do not leave them alone.

The NHS advises that binge drinking — defined as consuming more than six units in a single session for women or eight units for men — significantly increases the risk of both short-term and long-term harm.

What Should You Do If You Experience Side Effects?

If you or another player feels unwell during the game, stop playing immediately. Drink water, eat something, and rest. For mild symptoms such as headache or nausea, over-the-counter remedies may help — speak to your pharmacist for advice. For more serious symptoms, seek medical attention promptly. Never leave an unwell player alone, and never allow anyone who has been drinking to drive.

Can La Tour du Plaisir Interact With Other Medicines?

The game itself has no drug interactions, but alcohol consumed during play can interact with a wide range of medications. These include metronidazole and tinidazole (antibiotics), antihistamines, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, opioid-based pain relief, and anticoagulants such as warfarin. If any player is taking prescription or over-the-counter medication, they should check with a pharmacist before consuming alcohol. Non-alcoholic substitutes are always a safe alternative for those on medication.

If you are concerned about any side effects, contact your pharmacist or GP immediately.
