Kheper Games - A Lifetime of Sex, board and 258 cards
258 cards, a board, three dice and two markers: A Lifetime of Sex is the fullest and heaviest game in the Kheper selection, at 872 grams on the scales. It is also the only one for which the manufacturer confirms a French edition in writing, alongside English, Spanish and German.
Why choose this model?
- 258 cards in four decks, against 176 for the second largest in the lot.
- French edition confirmed by the manufacturer, with three other languages.
- Eight cards in a sealed pouch, to be opened later according to the manufacturer.
- Three dice: one standard die and two devoted to the foreplay phase.
- 872 g: the heaviest of the lot, more than double the Bondage kit.
How to play it
- Count the four decks as you open it: 100, 100, 50 and 8 cards.
- Leave the sealed pouch closed until you have both decided otherwise.
- Agree a stop word before the first turn.
- Set aside together the position cards that do not suit.
- Combine sex cards and upgrade cards at the end of the game.
The game Sex! covers close ground but exists only in English and Spanish, and Fantasy Affairs works on scenarios. See also positive sexuality and starting BDSM safely.
Care and precautions
Check the language of the copy you receive before the first game: the manufacturer makes several editions and the sheet does not say which one leaves the warehouse. Count the cards and the pieces as you open the box, since an incomplete game is easier to report on day one than three weeks later. Store it flat, away from damp, cards put back in their compartment. On play: a card may be refused without having to explain, a stop word agreed before starting applies to the whole game, and alcohol in quantity has no place at this table. Nobody plays a card on someone else's behalf.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a French edition?
Yes. The manufacturer states four languages for this reference: English, Spanish, French and German.
How many cards exactly?
258: 100 sex cards, 100 foreplay cards, 50 upgrade cards and 8 sealed cards.
What is in the sealed pouch?
Eight cards the manufacturer presents as a reserve, to be discovered later in the life of the game.
Why three dice?
One standard die for movement and two devoted to the foreplay phase.
Does a full game have to be played?
The game is built on progression: the fantasy is assembled along the board and carried out at the end.
SoPigalle tip: 258 cards is too much for a first evening. Take out the hundred foreplay cards on their own the first time: the full board makes far more sense once the first deck is familiar.
