About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a double dose of fun with ROMANTASY, the game that offers you two experiences in one! Whether you're a hardcore fan of the fantasy genre or prefer diving into social adult party games with friends, there's something here for everyone. It's two games in a single package, each with its own special flavor.
First up is BAD ROMANCE, a competitive game where the goal is to create the most hilarious and scandalous scenarios. Think of a supercharged "Most Likely To" game! Each round, one player acts as the judge, and the others submit their choices. Whoever has the most fitting (and perhaps most daring) answer for the topic wins a point. It's pure laughter and playful provocation, perfect for livening up any gathering.
Then, ROMANTASY RANKING shifts the mood and focuses on cooperation. Here, the challenge is to get inside your fellow players' heads. You'll need to guess how they would rank a variety of classic fantasy tropes and elements. If most of the group gets the ranking right, everyone wins together! It's a test of synergy and empathy, ideal for those who like feeling that everyone is on the same page, unraveling the mysteries of the fantasy genre as a team.
With rules that adapt for both those seeking a challenge and those just wanting to relax and laugh, ROMANTASY promises to be a game that gets taken off the shelf frequently. It combines elements of deduction, storytelling, and voting, all wrapped in an accessible and fun fantasy universe. It's the perfect choice for anyone wanting a versatile game that appeals to different groups and occasions.
