Description

Card game where players score by forming couples (straight and gay). Players each start with 5 cards. In their turn, they draw a card and then either play to the table a couple with matching sexual orientation (you can't pair a straight male with a lesbian female) or a card that affects their own or another player's couples. Cards include children, proposal cards (to marry couples) and break-ups. By playing an affair card, a player can split up two couples from other players and take a partner from each to form a couple for themselves. The impact of the 'tale that' element of the game is moderated by the fact that scoring is continuous rather than end of game; so couples that are broken up are those for which a player has already scored. The game box gives this game a 17+ rating but there is nothing risqué about the game. It is only unsuitable for children who might be shocked or upset to learn of same-sex partnerships or of marriage break-ups. —user summary
