You and Me a Game of Love and Intimacy is an adults-only card game for two, made by Creative Conceptions, that combines a roll of the die, a ticking sand timer and a deck of playful forfeits into a date night with a competitive spark. The rules take only minutes to learn, and the game works best when both partners treat it as a shared bit of entertainment instead of a serious contest.
What comes in the box
The You and Me a Game of Love and Intimacy cards include 90 forfeit cards, split so that each player has a deck of their own.
Special cards and joker cards add twists to the play, with the exact numbers varying slightly between sets.
A die decides which partner receives the other’s attention in each round, while a sand timer keeps every forfeit on a schedule.
The game is designed for two players aged 18 or over, since it is meant for couples rather than families.
How to set up
Choose a private, comfortable space, put your phones on silent and settle in. Each player shuffles their own deck and places it face down, while the die and the sand timer sit within easy reach in the middle. Before the first roll, it helps to agree on boundaries and decide which cards, if any, should be set aside for the evening.
How to play step by step
Roll the die to decide which partner receives the other’s attention in that round.
The other player draws a forfeit card from their own deck, reads it and completes it before the sand timer runs out.
Hearts at the bottom of the card show the points on offer, with harder or more adventurous forfeits carrying more hearts.
The player who performs the forfeit collects the points, which means giving is rewarded more than receiving.
Roll again for the next round and keep playing, using any special or joker cards according to the rule sheet in your set.
The first player to reach 30 points wins and chooses a reward from their partner, within whatever limits both of you are comfortable with.
Rules worth agreeing on
Either player can skip any card without explanation or pressure.
Both partners should be enjoying the game, because a forfeit that makes someone uncomfortable defeats the purpose.
Keep the mood playful and the competition friendly, since nobody needs a grudge over a sand timer.
Tips for a better game night
Set the mood with music or soft lighting before the first card.
Treated as a game about connection instead of a contest, You & Me a Game of Love works best as a light-hearted way to laugh together.
