Dark Romance

About this board game

Dark Romance is a 2-player social deduction game that lasts approximately 45 minutes, set in a shadowy Victorian world of love, danger, and nocturnal creatures.

Players take on the roles of distinct characters seeking profound love—or their next unsuspecting victim. Through a series of dates and shared experiences, you must study your counterpart carefully and make choices that reveal their true intentions.

The game combines romance, suspense, and tactical decision-making. Poor decisions may drive away a potential true love, but the consequences can be even more serious: they may lead to your character’s demise. Keen intuition is essential as you try to understand who is sitting across from you.

• Victorian setting: Explore a world of elegance, mystery, and nocturnal creatures.
• Distinct characters: Choose among ten different characters, each pursuing their own aims.
• Role cards: Five different roles provide unique objectives and intentions.
• Scene cards: Guide dates and shared experiences while shaping the unfolding narrative.

At the heart of Dark Romance are its role and scene cards. Each date creates an opportunity to learn more about your counterpart while weighing the risks of every decision. The result is an intimate contest where emotional uncertainty and strategic judgment work hand in hand.

Designed for players aged 16 and above, the game offers a focused experience for two. The Deluxe Edition expands Dark Romance to accommodate up to four players, providing a larger group experience within its world of love and danger.
