Love Is Dead is a board game released in 2022 for 2–5 players and ages 13 and up.
These days, dating can be downright scary. Seriously, who wants to get ghosted? In the light strategy party card game Love Is Dead, players compete to match with Boos in the dating pool by playing trait cards that correspond to the Boo's traits. Will you match with AJ who's only looking for a date to their cousin's funeral? Or Niah, who'll ghost you just for being an Aries? Opponents can play negative cards, like deal-breakers, to sabotage one another. Once a player matches with three Boos, the game ends, and whoever scores the most points from their matches wins!
