Jam Judge(+1)

Gameplay: Game functions, some of the card interaction feedback is on the rougher side. (insufficient things to use a card) Did super crash at one point, but no real idea why. A bit too complex with some of the card/resource interactions though.

Creativity & Innovation: Neat little matchmaker concept.

Theme Adherence:  Alright theme adherence. Facilitating the building of a connection between others.However the negative options also mean the prevention of building connections, so mixed bag.

Playability & User Experience: Gameplay is pretty ok. Cards describe what they do, which is great, but the goal and "loss" conditions aren't super clear. Also, there seems to be "balancing" issues because out of 10 couples, all but one of them were "would be worst"

Art and Design: Cute cardboard style art. It's really endearing, fantastic choice for the gameplay.

Overall Fun Factor: So this is the real pain point for me. While everything being a resource is all fine and good, the ability to fail is a really bad experience for this game since you don't replenish your hand readily. At multiple points I found myself without any cards, and just had to blind guess. This paired with cards failing, or feeling not worthwhile are important things to consider when designing and balancing your systems.  It's always better to err on the side of "it's easy to win/succeed" as opposed to "it's easy to loose/fail".

 As an overall comment: This is a cute concept that needs a lot of balancing, but the bones are solid. Good job.

Pretty good game, most the time I unfortunately didn't have any cards to reveal any traits so I had to just guess

Thanks for playing! You're right, I noticed that card wasn't as common as it should've been😣
