Welcome to Fog of Love! It’s a unique game that delves into all the little details that make up a relationship.
First things first, we need to create our characters. You and I will each have a character in the game, and we’ll be playing out scenes together. These scenes will shape our happiness and help us achieve our personal goals.
Now, the goal of Fog of Love is simple – we both want to be happy in our relationship, whether it lasts or not. It’s not about staying together at all costs. One of us might be happy while the other isn’t, and that’s okay. The game isn’t designed around “winning” or “losing” – it’s about exploring the complexities of relationships.
SETTING UP
If you’ve never played Fog of Love or a game like it, I highly recommend going through the terrific tutorial in the rules booklet. It’s a great way to get familiar with the game and learn the rules step by step.
But if you prefer to jump right in, here’s how to set up the game. Start by placing the game board between both players. Each player will choose a color, either blue or pink. You’ll also need a cardholder and choice markers, as well as small tokens in your chosen color.
Next, decide on the story you want to play through. Check the synopsis card for any special instructions and place it on the board as indicated. If there are special events, put them in their designated spots under the synopsis. The chapter and finale cards go in their respective places too.
Alright, let’s get this game started! First, we need to prepare all the necessary cards. Each scene deck, trait deck, occupation deck, and feature deck will be separated, shuffled, and placed on the board. Don’t forget to hand out the appropriate destinies to each player. Once we’ve done all that, it’s time to begin!
How to Play
Now it’s time to create your characters. Start by choosing your gender and picking traits, an occupation, and features for your partner. Keep the traits you choose secret from your partner – these will serve as goals for you to achieve in the game. And of course, don’t forget to give your character a name!
The gameplay of Fog of Love is actually quite simple. When it’s your turn, you’ll go through four actions:
- First, you have the option to discard any number of minor scenes from your hand in order to draw new scenes.
- Next, you’ll play a scene from your hand. This is the main action of the game.
- After that, you can draw up to 5 scenes to replenish your hand.
- Lastly, you’ll check if the chapter has ended.
Once you understand these actions, the rest of the game falls into place. Your goal is to complete scenes that will make both you and your partner happy. At the same time, you need to place tokens in the right attribute spots to fulfill your traits and your ultimate destiny. Each chapter in the game ends when a certain number of scenes are played. Once you reach the finale, you’re nearing the end of the game and preparing to fulfill your final destiny.
