Moving completely away from generic fill-in-the-blank party games, this title focuses entirely on active persuasion and creative storytelling. The core objective is beautifully simple: one player acts as the \"Single\" for the round, while all other players act as matchmakers, trying to build the most appealing romantic partner out of their hand of cards to convince the Single to go on a date with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary hurdle lies in surviving a sudden, backstabbing wave of fatal character flaws. A turn plays out in two distinct phases. First, you play two White cards from your hand to build a seemingly perfect human being—such as a world-renowned chef who loves cuddling and owns a private jet. Just when your candidate looks completely flawless, the player to your left plays a devastating Red Flag card directly onto your creation, permanently ruining them. Suddenly, your billionaire chef also happens to wear a diaper in public or loudly narrates everything they do in the bedroom. Matchmakers must then frantically debate and pitch their deeply broken dates to the Single, trying to convince them why their diaper-wearing chef is a vastly better romantic option than a supermodel who constantly tries to steal your teeth. It is a masterclass in hyper-accessible, high-interaction party design that packs quick-witted persuasion, improvisational humor, and massive table laughter into a brisk 30-to-45 minute session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 17+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Skybound Games \/ Jack Dire Games\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 30-45 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 3-10 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Very Low (Hand Management, Active Pitching\/Debate, Judge-Led Voting, Take-That)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e175 Perks Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e225 Devastating Red Flags Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Official Rule Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52630077997343,"sku":"GRG NGW211101","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/red-flags-card-game-box-display.jpg?v=1782482410","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/red-flags-core-game-the-game-of-terrible-dates","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
