Kama Sutra Playing Cards

A card game that actually goes somewhere

Forget instruction booklets and intimidating position guides. Kama Sutra Playing Cards by Tease and Please buries 54 different Kama Sutra positions inside a real, fully playable deck of cards. You play a normal card game, poker, snap, whatever you know, and the illustrations do the rest. The premise is clever precisely because it’s low-stakes: you’re sitting at a table playing cards, not standing at a whiteboard planning acrobatics.

Best for: Couples who want a relaxed, playful way to introduce new positions without it feeling like homework. Works just as well for long-term partners looking to break a routine as for newer couples who are still figuring out what they enjoy together.

Not for: Anyone expecting a structured game with scoring rules tied to the positions, this is a standard card deck with illustrated prompts, not an all-in-one party game with its own mechanics. If you want something with dice, dares and built-in game rules, take a look at Naughty Nights, Raunchy Dare Dice instead.

What you actually get

The deck is a complete 54-card set, the standard 52 playing cards plus two extras, with each card carrying its own Kama Sutra position illustration. According to the manufacturer, the concept is built around simplicity: the visual on every card is the prompt, and how you act on it (or don’t) is entirely up to you and your partner. There are no embarrassing instructions to read aloud and no timer counting down.

The format also means this travels well. It’s a card deck. It fits in a jacket pocket, a weekend bag, a bedside drawer. Unlike bulkier couples’ games, nothing about it announces what it is.

How the game format actually helps

The genius of wrapping position prompts in a card game is that it creates natural pacing. You’re mid-hand, you glance at the card, you raise an eyebrow at your partner. No one had to formally suggest anything. That shift in dynamic, from “let’s try something new” as a loaded conversation to a casual visual prompt during a game, is exactly what makes this format work for couples who find direct conversation about variety uncomfortable.

It also has genuine replay value. A standard card game plays differently every time, which means the positions that surface change with each session.

How it compares to similar products

The closest sibling in format is the A Year Of Sex Card Game, which takes a more structured, calendar-driven approach, one card per week for a year. That works well for couples who prefer a plan. Kama Sutra Playing Cards is more freeform; you choose the pace entirely. Also worth considering: Stick A Dick Stud, Game, which is a different vibe altogether, more explicitly playful and party-game adjacent.

None of these require cleaning, specialist storage, or any particular setup. The card deck format keeps things accessible.

Care and storage

Being a card deck, care is straightforward. Keep the cards dry, away from anything that could bend or mark them, and store them in the box. There are no electronics, no materials that degrade, and nothing that needs replacing.
