......the titular playbook is.....a lot, for me. I hope someday I have people I feel safe enough around to play this.
This game is so great - fun, sharp, witty, full of messy feelings, and the design is stunning! Our first session ended when two characters who had hooked up before went on their first date, awkwardly trying to find a connection beyond the sexual. Their fingers gently, accidentally touched while they were both flipping through the same cursed zine at the magic zine fair. Perfect, gorgeous.
Beautiful, adorable, wholesome, fun, and chill. I really like this. It presents the wholesome moments and simple beauties of queerness, while still feeling powerful. This game is a fun, sweet time to chill and bond with friends about having a fun, sweet time to chill and bond with friends. And it is beautifully queer.
okay, okay... I haven't played YET - but I read the comment section to learn some more about the game and oh my glob... the feedback and the interaction from the creator genuinely warmed my heart.
Next time I fly to my boyfriend I want to try this out with him!
