Hush Hush Projects Fog of Love Board Game Male-Female Cover Multicolor

I got this game for Christmas and expected it to be painfully cheesy. As it turns out, I really enjoy it and have gotten in 7 or 8 plays in just a couple months. A lot of attention to detail is put into the consequences of the choices you make for your fictitious couple. You can play strategically or just develop the storyline down the creative path that interests you the most.This is NOT couples therapy in a box. Nor is it one of those hokey attempts at foreplay or truth-or-dare. It’s a storytelling cue with gamified elements and multiple objectives.The game is metacooperative: it is possible for both players to win, or only one, or neither. And in all three cases, an entertaining story is likely to have been created by the end—when you will be dying to share each other ls secret motivations for your more unorthodox/inexplicable choices.Most importantly, this game can be played enjoyable and comfortably by ANY two players, not just romantic partners. It really is a game of improv-acting a relationship, not a flirtation vehicle. You could certainly turn it into that—and there is a kind of intimacy and rapport that is built by playing—but I’ve now played it with 7 different people, male and female, most of whom I have no romantic interest in nor vice versa, and all were fun. Don’t reserve it for date night! Play it with your funniest friend, your weirdest friend, your most randomly manic friend.I usually prefer games with deeper strategy than this initially appears to have. But, to its credit, it definitey has unplumbed depths. I think probably there are workable strategies I have yet to even uncover. Especially since each module/story adds new rules and options to gameplay.This gradual introduction to game mechanics, as well as an excellently written instruction book, keep the rules from being overwhelming. Yet, with the exception of the first play through, it never feels like you are wasting your time on practice tutorials. Each subsequent game is thematically complete and sufficiently varied to make for lots of replayability.

I bought this for my boyfriend who loves board games. I heard about this game from a TikTok and I had to check it out. It was a bit of a learning curve, as this had many rules but leave much to the players to discuss.My only note would be that the game is set up so that you play as a random character with traits, so not as yourself and your partner. You can definitely choose characteristics that match yourselves, but it is also fun to play people very unalike yourselves.I would recommend this game to any couple that enjoys "people watching" and making up stories for people they might see while out for dinner or in public. It's kind of like that, but on an entirely different level.Pros:- The "tutorial" was super helpful, as they list all the instructions in order.- If you enjoy coming up with stories and characters, this will be very fun- It's a great date night game and offers lots of replayability- There are versions for same-sex couples and other couplings that are very accessible and inclusiveCons:- It can feel a bit repetitive once you get through all the stories- The goals can get a bit confusing towards the end, as there are individual and couples' goals- If your partner is not very imaginative, or you just follow the cards only (don't create stories and talk about situation implications, how your characters would react) it can get boring quicklyOverall, we will keep playing and enjoying this game to engage our imaginations!

I bought this game for my wife for Mother's day and a bit of a goof gift but one I knew she would like to play around with. She loves it. It took us a little while to learn but it was fun. You start by picking your side of the board, pink or blue, although both are neutral and it doesn't really make a difference. Then you pick your traits, your carrier, and attributes.As you play really all your trying to do is complete a goal on one of your destiny cards, although this is more of a, "Its the journey that matters" kind of board game. So if you want a challenge with an ultimate finish this probably won't be for you. But if you like playing through scenarios and having fun just seeing how you play with your partner then this is the game for you.
