A Whole New Card Game
• BDSM Practices
Shortly before I had to leave, I began writing out different slave punishments on small cards. Each punishment was typically some activity we have done before, plus a few unexpected things to spice it up. The durations varied between mild to slightly beyond moderate. I must have written about 75 of them, since many were duplicates of another card but with a different duration.
The only idea for a game I have had so far is to make him draw three cards from a shuffled pack; the punishments are then executed in the order they were drawn - This creates a sense of completely arbitrary pain and humiliation. The catch is that he can veto any of the punishments, with the understanding that he will have to draw a new card and the value/duration must be doubled.
Has anyone played this type of game before? Any interesting variations on this you’d like to share with me? There are also some other games and ways of bringing chance and unpredictability into D/s which I am thinking about, such as using a dice as a multiplier, or using my footfall when I am blindfolded to decide my slave’s punishment - very fitting that my feet should be tied to my slave’s fate, don’t you think?

Oh - whew! - if you were here I’d probably start making weird noises and just melt like warm butter around your boots.

I think I’m going first on this one.
OK, this is one of my favorites.
One partner (to be named) gets tied, spread eagle, on bed. The other partner (to be named) eats an “al fresco” dinner or snack while hand feeding and providing drink to the bound partner. (The means for feeding are not necessarily limited to fork or fingers and can become quite imaginative.) The “dom” gets to determine the amount of clothing, not necessarily equal, worn by both parties.

I played a game with my wife once where we had a number of question cards (in my case the questions were related to a college course I was taking). For each question answered incorrectly, a punishment card was drawn. For five correct questions in a row, the slave gets to choose a reward card. Sometimes, just making up the reward and punishments cards is enough to get you boiling over with lust.

My love and I have a similiar system at home, only it is not quite as arbitrary.
We prefer to use the index cards instead of a long list of rules. We also switch off now and then so the balnnce of power we like is easier to maintain.
Our system works like this: 1. put both punishments and rewards into the “deck.” Each card is designed a little bit like the popular FRP Trading Card games…the outcome of the card can change according to the submissive partner’s “behavior score.”
The catch is that the behavior score itself DOES NOT have an effect on all punishments, since the Dominant’s right to punish is ABSOLUTE.
The score is on an “open” number line from about (-10) which is “subspace angel” through to (+10) for “spanked brat” for EACH spanking/punishment.
The score can be affected positively or negatively by ANYTHING the dominant partner chooses, but it can ONLY be “bought” down ONE point at a time by the submitting partner.
WAGERING is a valid way to move behavior points up or down. A score of ZERO is NOT ALWAYS subspace, nor is a “high” negative number ALWAYS a good thing…certain cards will reward BRAT behavior (within limits) and others are deliberately DESIGNED to make the usual ANGEL behaviors more difficult.
The net result of this is that a subbie could find themselves spanked for something as simple as LOSING at a video game, while every least ritual mistake can also be caught easily and “pointed.” Sometimes the loss of rewards from cards that require a long stretch of Angel behavior ( Example:Hold a score of Zero or Less for 5 days to win permission to buy your next DVD…) can be even more difficult than physical punishment.
On the other hand, arguments both inside and outside the home can also be resolved (or at least tabled) almost instantly. (Example: Top: “I said NO, darling. That is one point to you. We’ll discuss this later.
Subbie [thinking hard about the other eight points she got this morning…) Yes, Sir.”)

We have played very similar punishment games especially as my wife learnt her way as the dominatrix in my life!
We found that she found it hard to punish me as severely as I craved at the start of our relationship so if I “drew” punishments based on chance which she then “had” to carry out - it made it much easier for her to be nasty to me.
We used slips which I picked from an envelope, lots of dice games and my favourite - Snakes and Ladders!! A number of times I could not sit down for a week!

i have a favorite game that we started because i wanted heaver play than i was getting. i chose 13 canes paddles and whips of different sizes and gave them a card number 2-14 14 for the A’s then set the left side of the bench as red and the right side as black. From a cold start she would turn a card over and administer the strokes with the assigned implement and from the red or black side. If i complete the deck i can chose the next time we play if she wins and i do not complete the deck she will deside the next time we play. Be Careful what you wish for for you may get it in spades.

I know exactly what you mean Michael - it seems so exciting when you contemplate it and in my case wrote out the possible punishments!! 100 strokes of the cane - no problem.
When you roll the bad dice though it is always a step too far.
I sometimes used to choose to have no safe word - I realised that was a mistake fairly early on!!!

I found your site in hopes of getting ideas for a card game and I must say I have been rewarded with a wealth of new ideas. My game idea is specifically intended to help my timid mistress begin to assert herself. She is the first person to admit she has no imagination for this. The working concept is to choose one card from each of several catagories. For example: initiation,scene,torments,role,toys,restraints,dialogue,severity,conclusion, etc. Perhaps dice will play a role in duration and or severity. Is their anything commercially avalable like this?

Alexandra and I each have sets of cards we’ve made but never used.
Mine has I think four categories one of which is labeled “Richard’s Fantasies” listing some of the things I really hope we’ll try one day.
For me the appeal is that I can express my desires without explicitly asking for a specific one. It leaves her the option of choosing one. A chance to experience a longed for experience (which indeed may be regretted in retrospect) without feeling that I’m putting on any pressure.
I’m glad you guys have been sharing what you’ve been doing and hope you’ll continue to.

I had thought about a card game involving the numerical cards for minutes of a particular activity, another possibility is how many times the dominant partner cums before the submissive.
The suit could decide the type of activity. The royalty cards K,Q & J could determine a severity or penalty (additional fun). Just an idea.
