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.
Game Mechanism
The game mechanism is easy; the wealthy is stronger than the beautiful, the beautiful is stronger than the smart, and the smart is stronger than the wealthy.
The beautiful influence the smart
The smart influence the wealth
The wealthy influence the beautiful
Wild Cards
The wild cards mix the odds and give you the advantage over your components, such as blocking an attack, boosting your attack, or adding extra steps to your favour!
Game Objective
Reach the last step on your relationship meter before others do,
and live happily ever after
