An Enchanting Evening is a board game released in 1981 for 2 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 18 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move, Dice Rolling, and Paper-and-Pencil.
The Game Begins by each player writing down a "Secret wish" that can be shared with his/her partner that evening. The players then move around the board, drawing cards that direct their actions. Some cards ask for verbal responses, which are positive and supportive. Other cards suggest gentle touching, some playful, others subtle and ambiguous. For example, one cards gives instructions..." The 'How much feeling can you put into a kiss' contest has just begun. You are a contestant. Give your Partner the winning kiss." All cards allow the players to enjoy the game, and each other, at any level of intimacy that's comfortable and fun for the both of them. This is one game in a set of five. Definitely a game for 18+
