so maybe it creates a subset of [human] relationships that’s pretty small?
I think it’s this exactly. Meaningful friendships and found family are common elements in TTRPG inter-player character stories. You could do the same thing with romantic and sexual relationships, but it would take a very specific group to have fun and be comfortable roleplaying that. I’m sure they’re out there, but they’re not most people.
Yeah I keep thinking it could work as a 2 player deck game for couples, like Til The Last Gasp or something. A heroic love story like Princess Bride style would be fun to tell if you could develop the right mechanics.
