Gay Sauna: The Board Game is a board game released in 2023 for 2–6 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 18 and up. It was designed by Adrian Collier and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Push Your Luck, and Dice Rolling.
Gays Sauna the Board Game is a fun fast paced board game where you play the role of a horny visitor playing a hookup contest against your fellow players. Players adventure through the sauna visiting exciting cruising areas including the Dry Sauna, Steam Room, Cabins and the mysterious Dark Room. Armed with a handful of tactical Action Cards to give you the edge over the competition or drop them to their knees, players need to find their matches and pounce to catch the boys before closing time while enduring an onslaught of hilarious (and sometimes disgusting) random events. The game brings a light-hearted view on the world of the Gay Sauna and cruising with a huge dollop of humor whilst being respectful to the cruising and wider LGBTQIA+ community and depicts a Gay Sauna featuring visitors from all gender identities. While the game depicts sexual conquests, the number of sexual encounters you have had in real life should bear no impact on your value as a person. Just like with many games, the role you play is not a reflection on your actions in life. —description from the designer<gay>
