The game box was sitting unattended in the middle of the dining room table, but the clear plastic wrap that had been around it was nowhere to be seen.  Someone had likely played it the night before and had simply forgotten about it, but whatever the case might have been, there was something about the simple black cardboard cover that drew the eye.  The cover's black was only broken by the detailed writing that labeled the game simply as Eros, just as that girl had said it was called.  Opening the box would reveal a similarly black wooden game board, but where the lid was unmarked except for the name done in a dark red ink, the board was another story altogether.  The background art depicted seriously erotic acts between all manner of mythical and even demonic beings.  That wasn't even the strange bit as the longer one looked, the more one became convinced that the artwork seemed to move and shift as the creatures writhed about in ecstasy in most cases.  The darker side of the board told another story if the whips and chains were anything to go by, but even then most of the couples looked absolutely enraptured by their masters and mistresses even as they were whipped and bound in a number of inventive ways.<br/><br/>The track where the pieces were meant to follow was simply a great loop by all appearances, each space containing a strange arcane looking mark.  There was only one space that had a single arrow pointing to the right, indicating where they were to begin.  Beyond simple wooden game pieces and two different die, there were no instructions or cards of any kind.  Only a crystal ball in the center of the board that contained a pink mist within told of something more than met the eye.  One die had twenty sides while the other only had ten, indicating that the smaller of the two was meant for movement while the other was meant for something else.
