This little book is just a list of erotic ideas for couples, along with some black and white pictures of men and women engaged in intimate behavior.  The different games are sorted into ten different sections, with titles such as "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry," "Lights, Camera, Action!" and "Word Play."  Most of these games are described with just a sentence or two.  For example: "43: See how many sexual positions you can achieve in 5 minutes," "110: Write an X-rated love note and cut it into simple jigsaw pieces.  Put the pieces in an envelope and mail it to your lover," or "182: go to your local beach or park and look for places to have sex in the fresh air."  Other activities are described in more detail: painting each other's bodies, playing a stripping game with dice with different articles of clothing associated with different numbers, or the initial parts of fantasies given, to be finished by readers.  Whether or not the games are good or not is a matter of individual opinion, but the book is well designed, and it is likely to give readers some ideas they have not had before.  Although some of the suggestions seem silly or will not appeal to all readers, the book is playful so it should not cause offense, and it might be fun.
