How S&D Games came to fruition
Intimacy—it’s a topic so often swept under the rug, right? Too many couples let it fade into a routine, almost like a chore after a year or so together. That’s when I thought, “What if intimacy could be fun again? What if we could bring the spark back AND make it exciting?” Enter Match and Do—the game that’s about more than just getting it done. It’s about reconnecting, reigniting that playful, passionate energy.
I reached out to suppliers, sifted through options, and found the perfect fit with Shuffled Ink. The process wasn’t exactly smooth sailing—throw in a couple of hurricanes and miscommunications over email—but hey, the game was worth it. I got my first shipment, and I thought, let’s take this to Amazon! Yeah, that was a ride. They blocked my ad campaigns because of the nature of the game. I mean, come on! Adults like intimacy, right? They run ads for adult toys, so why not games that enhance those moments?
But no worries. I didn’t let that stop me. I pivoted to ETSY, and then a new idea hit me: What if I could create a game where partners really focus on each other, truly zeroing in on the connection? Boom—Race to the Big O was born. A handmade, one-of-a-kind experience that makes you and your partner compete for more than just a win—it's about bonding, about laughter, and about exploring new sides of each other.
And it doesn’t stop there. I created a 30-day challenge to help couples slow down, prioritize each other, and reignite that spark, day after day. Oh, and let’s not forget about the naughty little scratchers—a personal touch inspired by a gift I gave my wife that made her giddy last Valentine’s Day. They’ve been a hit.
Then came It’s a Lifestyle—a game for couples who want to spice things up in groups, with other couples. It’s all about creating those extra connections and bringing the fun back into the mix.
This has been such a wild ride, but the best part? Knowing that my games are helping couples rediscover the magic between them. I put my heart and soul into these, and if I can make that spark turn into a lifelong flame, well, then I’ve hit the sweet spot.
Thank you for taking the time to check out S&D Games—this is just the beginning. Let the fun begin.
