Dr. Ruth's Game of Good Sex is a 1985 board game published by Victory Games, built around the public persona of sex therapist and media personality Dr. Ruth Westheimer. The game is designed for couples and small groups, pairing trivia questions about sexuality and relationships with lighter, more playful prompts meant to spark conversation between partners. Players move around the board answering questions and completing prompts to earn points, with the format leaning toward frank but good humored education about sex rather than shock value. It belongs to a wave of mid 1980s board games that used a well known media personality's brand and public voice to package an otherwise sensitive subject in an approachable party game format.
