Most scenes and all chapters ask you to make a choice. When making choices, you aren't allowed to discuss what to choose. The choice is based on what you already know - and on your intuition, of course. You are each playing an imaginary character involved in an unpredictable romance. It's a comedy, and it might also be a tragedy. As in all stories, your character can change. You can move the story in any direction you want it to go. This is what your character does for a living. Your occupation gives you 1 personality token. A few scenes allow you to change your character's occupation later in the game. Have you watched A Very British Romance on BBC Four? It has that ubiquitous historian Lucy Worsley in costumes, dancing, swooning, winking at and flirting with the audience, which can get irksome. Stay with it and you will discover the astonishing history and evolution of private lives and passions. Better than any costume drama, thanks, actually, to the prancing presenter. You'll now see if you have fulfilled your characters' destinies and learn whether the relationship between the characters ends with a happily ever after.

Minor scenes don't count towards chapter length. minor scenes have this symbol in the lower right corner: You are playing the story as much as you are playing the characters. Whether you fulfill your characters' destinies or not at the end is, therefore, less important than the story you have created together.Change: Some scenes ask you to change something - usually a trait. When you are changing, you will either randomly or by choice (depending on the scene) discard one of your traits, features or occupations (depending on what you are asked to change). This means that on a both choose card, both players will be chooser for their respective choices and others for the other player's choices. Choice effects on chooser and other. If both select the same, each will be chooser and other. E.g., if both choose option A, nobody will gain or lose . You get by making the right choices in the scenes you play throughout the game and by fulfilling your character's trait goals.

Place the chapters and the finale face down in a pile on the chapters spot on the game board. chapter one should be on top, then chapter two, and so forth. the finale should be at the bottom. Fog of Love casts two players as two halves of a couple, living out a romantic comedy through a series of short snippets or scenes within their lives. When you first meet you will know very little about each other, but over the course of the game, the way you each deal with different situations will start to give you insights into each other’s personality, until ultimately you decide if you should stay together or break up. Each reaction is different. Some might allow you to skip the scene just played, others might allow you to change the choice your partner just made.

Once again, I can’t reveal everything in this review. It’s up to you how you write your own love story. Consult with the rulebook for final actions and let me know if you scored a happily ever after. Pros & Cons Pros: You’ll both start the same with the same two destiny cards. You’ll acquire more and swap them out until you need to decide on a final one at the finale. Game End Read the card out loud. Then make your choices and resolve any additional effects. How to resolve these will be explained below. Almost all of the events either affect “love” or “traits.” Traits each come in opposing pairs, for example introverted and extroverted. At the end of the game what you care about is the balance, if you had four tokens on extroverted, but two on introverted then your final score would be two extroverted. Compare your total with your trait goals and see if you achieved them, if you did then you'll gain some additional love, but failure is penalised too! This is the title of the scene. The title at the bottom of the card is similar to the one at the top. Sometimes it's abbreviated slightly.
