A Victorian courtship where your date might be hunting you instead.
Who it's for
Couples or pairs who enjoy Victorian gothic themes and want a deduction game built specifically for two, with real narrative texture.
Not for you if…
You're looking for a light, breezy card game – the Victorian danger theme and mature content are central, not incidental, to the experience.
Vibe's take
Intimate and tense – with just two characters reading each other across a string of dates, every scene card carries the risk of misjudging your partner's true intentions.
Dark Romance drops two players into a shadowy Victorian world of nocturnal creatures and dangerous courtship. Each takes on one of several distinct characters, some seeking true love, others hunting their next victim, and navigates a string of dates using role and scene cards. Read your partner carefully, a wrong move might cost you more than the romance.
