This choice: You read the instructions more carefully • Go Back...Chapter #5Understanding the rules of the game by: Georgie OK, so you decide that if you're lumbered with Bryony, you'd better read the instructions properly to minimize anything too embarrassing, and to work out how to finish a game as quickly as possible. You already know the game is called Sexual Pursuits, and you're desperately hoping it's at the tame end of the spectrum, and wouldn't use any language or suggest actions that would cause Bry to complain to your mom and get you into even more trouble.
Game play seems to be similar to Trivial Pursuit, but instead of answering questions each card has an assigned task to be completed. After completing the six required actions you make your way to the central hub for one final action to be completed. You're less worried about the 'normal' cards, but a bit uncertain about the gold bordered 'change' cards which could turn up, and what they would need you to do.

“You sure about this?” you ask Bryony. “I can't make any promises about what might happen, and you might end up emotionally scarred for life.” All you get is a withering look back. OK, well can't say you haven't tried. You throw the dice. So, you need to move the exact number shown, and ultimately end up on each of the different colored squares. OK, so which color will you you move the token onto? Realistically you know it shouldn't really matter on the order as you need to cover them all off, but decide to opt for one that sounds a bit, well, easier...
