The Gauntlet of Love: The Past Affair

【About "The Gauntlet of Love"】 "The Gauntlet of Love" is a game designed to delve deep into each other's values. It's suitable for playing with friends, lovers, partners, strangers, crushes, potential dates, or even blind dates. You can also play it solo. This card game is for everyone. The text on the cards is gender-neutral, making it equally enjoyable for men, women, transgender, non-binary individuals, heterosexuals, homosexuals, pansexuals, sapiosexuals, "lookism" adherents, singles, those in the ambiguous stage, those in love, and those married. Differences in gender and sexual orientation will not impact the game experience. "The Gauntlet of Love" is named as such because it has the potential to ruin your relationships. Understanding each other isn't always a good thing. If your friends, lovers, or partners share similar values, that's naturally the best scenario. However, if their values diverge significantly from yours, especially on matters of principle, leading to a decision to part ways after playing the game, it could become quite awkward. While it's true that differing values can make a relationship merely an illusion, eventually leading to arguments, estrangement, breakups, or divorce, discovering this incompatibility early on is also beneficial. Separation is always painful, and to avoid potential complaints on this front, we're stating this upfront. If you genuinely wish to understand your friend or partner and purchase this game to play with them, and their answers prove unbearable, that's their issue, not the cards'. If your friend or partner buys this game to play with you, and afterwards decides to part ways, it means they've finally seen you clearly – again, not the cards' fault. Ultimately, the cards are merely a tool; they are neutral and bear no responsibility. Discovering value misalignment early on can prevent wasting each other's time or paying a high price for clarity. Isn't realizing this in just the time it takes to play a game quite worthwhile? _____________________ 【About "The Past Affair"】 "The Past Affair" is the second installment in "The Gauntlet of Love" series of card games. "The Gauntlet of Love" is planned to have six games, each with its own unique purpose. These games will be designed and released gradually. To be the first to know about new game releases, you can add 7dayslover on LINE (LINE ID: @7days-lover). "The Past Affair" is the second deck in "The Gauntlet of Love" series. The first deck, "The Future Affair," allows you to explore a person's future, while "The Past Affair" lets you delve into their past. "The Past Affair" isn't strictly about romantic compatibility; it's more about exploring one's past, particularly experiences related to their upbringing and family of origin. As it involves some exploration of both individuals, it might be advisable to play "The Future Affair" before "The Past Affair." The "Gauntlet of Love" series of card games are byproducts of our thought-provoking social gatherings, condensed from our question bank. Once produced, they also serve as tools for these events. Therefore, rather than being purely board games, these decks function more as activity aids. While their playability might not be exceptionally high, their practicality is guaranteed, as they were originally designed for activities. These cards are intended as icebreakers during social gatherings. They can also be used for icebreaking at private parties, helping strangers get to know each other more quickly. However, please note that the icebreaking effect of the cards is sequential. In social gatherings, "The Future Affair" is used before "The Past Affair." Therefore, purchasing only "The Past Affair" does not guarantee the expected icebreaking results. We strongly recommend purchasing "The Future Affair" along with "The Past Affair." The direct purchase price for this deck is NT$399, a price reserved as a fan benefit. For a self-produced board game, this is truly a great value. Even if you don't have friends to play with right now, it doesn't matter. The game doesn't expire, so you can buy it and pretend you have friends. _____________________ 【Product Specifications】 Outer Box: 108 x 67 x 22mm Cards: 63 x 88mm Dice: 16 x 16 x 16mm 【Return and Exchange Policy】 • Upon receiving your package, please record a video of the unboxing to confirm the product is free from damage or defects.
