How to play the game
When you have an “other half” card placed next to your avatar on the relationship board, and your pawn is on the “Hooked-Up” mark, this means you are in a relationship, and you can roll the relationship die on your turn:
If you get

Move forward one step

If you get

Move backward one step

If you get

You either draw one card from the deck

Or choose one of the opponent characters to influence and force him/her to move the pawn one step backwards

The opponent can then counterattack by using a stronger influential card than yours. Then your turn to attack/influence again, and so on. If your opponent fails at the end to block your influence, he/she must move their pawn one step backward. If you fail, however, you have to move one step backward as a consequence.
