If you’re looking for the perfect night-in date idea, try this board game designed for you and your beloved, look no further.Fog of Love (2 players)
Do you enjoy a little bit of role-play, imagination, and romance? Fog of Love covers all three as a shared-narrative game. Between you and the other player, you will create and play two vivid characters who meet, fall in love, and traverse through the perils of making a relationship work.
- Customization—Creating Your Character is Half the Game!
- Draw from various decks and build your character’s defining traits and occupation. Develop their six different personality traits that your character will have a tendency towards. (For example, Paster Eve has a booming voice and uses slang. She is more extroverted. Her lover, Natalie the Lawyer, has piercing eyes and wears old jewelry. She is more introverted.)
- You will also both have personal goals to work toward that you keep secret from the other player, in addition to your character’s happiness levels.
- Gameplay—Sink or Swim.
- As you play through the chapters, you will draw event cards. (For example, bring home a dog!) They are multiple choice questions where you try to choose the best reaction and outcome for your character and their personality. Some event cards require a joint decision; some will only require input from one player. Regardless of how the decision is made, both characters will be affected by the choice.
- At the end of the game, you compare your beginning stats with your current ones and decide if your character is happy enough to continue the relationship.
The Fog of Love includes a comfortable level of diversity, where the gender of the character has no effect on the actual gameplay. All the event cards and personality traits are inclusive of any two-person relationship. Plus, it’s fun to step away from your actual lives and role-play a funky little couple for the night instead!The average pricing for this game on Amazon is $48.00, so we recommend buying it used for less.
