I wouldn't recommend this game for couples at all. Its not really a lighthearted romcom, it deals with some pretty serious real-life relationship problems. In my own relationship, we have a few questions awkwardly hanging above our heads (should we get married, should we have kids, are there goals that we want to complete before properly settling down) and this game brought those issues up. It wasn't necessarily a pleasant experience for me as a result. If you've ever had an argument over something before, this will almost certainly bring those memories back up. I'm not blaming this game for these problems but I just want to make sure that anybody who thinks this is just a light game to play with their partner after their warm up game of munchkin, think again.
One of the cards is that you got into an arguement with your in-laws and your partner choose between you. Another is that you kissed somebody else at a party. These are just two examples but I suspect a lot of couples have run into problems like this and probably don't want to bring it up again.
@@MC-ls9fs I'm just saying its not the lighthearted game full of comedy that it suggests it is. Its more like a 'Love Actually' rom-com where half of the characters are miserable by the end.
I agree. This is more for adult couples who rather choose to talk about their relationship, what they want and where they are headed before watching Netflix.
Im also curious on his take. SU&SD talked about it and said they wouldnt with wives cuz it would be like having a picnic on old landmines. That was my concern too.
That's quite a sweeping statement to make. Its not that the game causes issues in relationships, but it can bring up remnants of the past that you had already dealt with. Remember that time your girlfriend didn't defend you in front of her parents? Does your girlfriend want children but you aren't ready? This "lighthearted" game can very quickly stop being so.
There’s something missing right before Zee talks. Maybe just a small Dice Tower logo on a black screen with that little electronic beeping sound they do sometimes. Then Zee talks. Then review intro with the game picture.
I think I heard in a podcast somewhere (and I might be wrong) that while the characters are pink and blue it's possible to declare you are a same sex couple and go for it. I don't know if the text on the cards supports that but I think it does.
Each character card can be flipped and the outline of the character changes from that of one that appears to be male to one that appears to be female depending on the other side.
It's unfortunate that they used pink and blue so heavily built into the game, and don't support a non-binary character. I think that would prevent my game group from enjoying this title but otherwise it looks like a really cool concept.
Max Gershfield yes because when i was a kid there was a game show announncer that said it like "brought-you'd by" like the phrase "brought to you" had become a verb and then a contraction ... And after decades of use of course it had!
Zee vs Sam in fog of love ... Make it happen
Kickstarter stretch goal, please.
For a guy who doesn’t like storytelling games, you gave that a fair and impartial review.
This game screams for a live play!
We also need a pre-game to decide who will wear the dress XD . But which game should they play...
I would like to see Healey VS. Oren. Just to see them sitting there. Listening to Zee explain it!
That would be so good!
They can both be guys. Each card is double sided to cater to everyone's tastes.
Why this hasn't happened yet?????
Magnificent review. Zee has great insight, not just with reviews but doing Top 10s too. Bravo!
Love the data points that you rate the game on, makes the review even better.

Fancy new graphic!! I liiiike!!! Happy thanksgiving!
Zee's reviews ftw.
Just bought it and I'm eager to give it a shot!!
Still hoping to receive my kickstarter copy. The fact it's been commercially explored before the backers receive their copies kinda throws me off.
Speaking of Love - I love you Zee! Great vid man, thanks.
Really great review. Waiting for my kickstarter version and hoping this is the game that gets my wife into boardgames.
The designer specifically made this game because he had a collection of a thousand boardgames and his wife never wanted to play them.
Sounds familiar LOL
Very intelligently put forward your thoughts - bravo
If you're not trying your utmost to win in this game, you're playing it wrong. Remember the sage words of Pat Benatar: "Love is a battlefield".
Goya Solidar it is on zee ‘s next list of war games
:-D
slick new intro
Excellent review. This game looks really interesting!
liked your bullet points. well done review
So how do you win this game? By gaining the most satisfaction by the end?
Occasionally, during these reviews, Zee kinda sounds like the rabbi from Seinfeld.
I'm very interested in this game!!
Cool video. I've been curious about this game
+1 for live play!
"Too long"? Zee's more of a "1 week of passion" relationship kind of guy. ;)
Zee, would you play this with your significant other?
Im also curious on his take. SU&SD talked about it and said they wouldnt with wives cuz it would be like having a picnic on old landmines. That was my concern too.
Mikolaj Witkowski agreed! My copy will be here monday, and I'll report back after my fiancee and I give it a shot

Nice new intro. But I'm still hating on that Target system...
0:39 Zee says, "we will come on *bang* after that"? :-)
11:12 mess up, too :(

Does the game come with two male or two female character to allow for same-sex relationships?

Amazing Review
Your voice reminds me of Alan Alda..
Who does karaoke in the morning?
It's a weekend date. Karaoke seems fine for that in the morning or are you one of those guys that think Sunday morning should be only church?
The Japanese.
Gender ideology confused me here - if I chose gender am i assigned sex randomly?
BGG ads told me to watch this review. BGG .... now brotued by ... Wal•Mart :(
Max Gershfield yes because when i was a kid there was a game show announncer that said it like "brought-you'd by" like the phrase "brought to you" had become a verb and then a contraction ... And after decades of use of course it had!
I think the main reason for that is because this game is only available at Wal Mart. It's an exclusive.
