So I have an upcoming date with a girl that is into board games (played at a public drinking venue). I'm trying to think of ways to sexualize a board game without appearing too obvious.

Some of the games available at venue:

Battleship
Clue
Jenga
Life
Hungry Hungry Hippos
Monopoly
Uno
Sorry
Don't Break the Ice
Trouble
Trivial Pursuit
Yahtzee
Operation
etc.

I've turned Battleship into a frat boy drinking game by each player taking a drink when their ship is hit, then finishing beer when each ship is sunk. But getting hammered is not the idea here.

Strip poker is an obvious choice, but not so much in a public venue.

Thanks for the ideas.

Nice! They do indeed have chess and checkers at this venue.

If you're going to the venue that I'm thinking of, in DC, the upstairs has couches and is a bit more intimate and kino-friendly, if I recall correctly.

I'd stay away from games that make you think, so ax trivial pursuit and the like. I'd stick with a game where you can sit next to each other and get intimate, as opposed to something like Battleship where you can't get close to the other person, or even something like chess where you have to be on opposite sides of the table. Chess is also a thinking game. Monopoly takes too long and is never fun towards the end.

My top choices, for a board game date, would be:
Don't Break the Ice, which is highly underrated and lots of fun
Jenga is pretty fast paced with emotion and suspense built in; women love emotional roller coasters
With Life, and Operation you get lots of game-related flirtation possibilities
Uno is my go to drunk card game though it's not that great for only two people

Just pick something fun and where you can play multiple games so you both win some.

Is there a board game version of Never Have I Ever? I have had some success with that game.

An alternative would be something like apples to apples if you can keep the sexual tension built up, although I can't vouch for its effectiveness.

Ideally you would dominate without appearing to try.

There's a game I've played called "Loaded Questions" which is great with a small group, 4-6 people. You could probably make it work with 2. It's basically a game where you ask personal questions, but you have to guess who made what answer.

Cards Against Humanity is good with a big group, especially when drinking, and can get really edgy or sexual

Twister's the obvious game for sexualizing. Look at the old school cover:



Of the choices listed, go with Jenga or Operation because you can get up and move around to play. The other games you mostly stay seated. A move for you to consider is making comments throughout the game about how her hands look shaky and later come up behind her to help 'stabilize' her. Whether you 'feel an earthquake' when it's a critical move for her is up to you.

None of those are actual "boardgames". You can fuck anywhere or anytime so I wont bother with that advice... but(after the bang, ofc) might as well tell your girlfriend to play some actual games... Like:

Settlers of Catan
Splendor
Carcassone
Ticket to Ride
Dixit
Dominion
Agricola
Power Grid

"Boardgamers" will consider the majority of my list to be "better" any on that list. Not just cause of hipster "too mainstream/casual" reasons- Monopoly is harder to learn, is more complicated and boring than all but the last three.

I dunno. Maybe it actually isnt a boardgame night for gamers but more for casuals, in which case ignore the above...(But dont play Monopoly!)

Also: @Atlantic can you not link a video which autoplays?

Ding ding ding. This is ideal for groups of 3 or more.

Correct! It is the venue in DC. I'm already looking at "Don't break the ice" strategies online. I remember playing that a few times as a kid, and it was always a good time.

Jenga is really popular, and I've rarely played it, though it might be worth a shot. Perhaps the winner would be able to get the loser to do whatever they want for the winner, or to the winner.

I would assume Operation could invite kino, where you touch the person wherever she touches the body on the game.

Still brainstorming, and thank you for the advice. As much as I enjoy Monopoly, I agree that its not a game to play in this situation.

It seems girls are always trying to steal my wood when we play that game...

Lots of bars have giant Jenga sets made from 2x4s, those are golden because you have to get up and move around to play. It gets people on their feet and engaged. You can definitely use side bets to make it interesting.

Qwirkle is a fun game with simple rules that can be played anywhere, but I think works better with a group than a one-on-one date. The blocks fit into a small bag that I've sometimes carried with me on group dates. For a one-on-one date, I think my vote would be with Jenga.

If I were you I'd do the following:
1.Meet up at a bar close to your place.
2.Run game
3.Invite her back to your place "to play" battleship, jenga, etc.
4.Bang

Thanks all for the advice in this thread, and throughout the forum in general.

This is pretty much what happened, except it was HER place. The board game bar was too crowded, so after a few drinks prior, she really wanted to play something. After she admitted to having twister at her place (5 minutes away), I suggested we head back to play an innocent game, and sober up a bit, since I had a longer drive back home. Twister didn't even happen. I got the bang within minutes of walking in her door.

I must admit, the tactics taught by members of this forum really do work. Apparently, this innocent girl has only slept with a handful of a guys, and somehow I became one of them.

Battleship is way too easy. Just use shots of beer or something every time you hit or miss.

If have it at your own spot, turn it into a strip game.

I understand this at all.

If a girl is down with playing strip Battleship, then you should have no trouble just taking her straight to bed without playing a stupid game first.

If she's not DTF, she's probably not going to be cool with playing a game that pretty much guarantees that she gets naked.

Example:

You: Let's play strip Battleship.
Her: No way, you sick creep.
