Lovestruck is a board game released in 2024 for 5–10 players, 45–90 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by George Li and its main mechanics are Take That.
You have just been selected to appear as a contestant on a new reality dating show. While every contestant on the show claims to be looking for love, some contestants are actually just trying to get famous. Your goal is to figure out who is who and couple up with the right contestant at the end of the show. Every round (“Episode”) of LOVESTRUCK has dates that help you get to know the other contestants by playing Action Cards. Dates that result in LOVE grant you additional Action Cards and allow you to couple up with other contestants. Dates that result in DRAMA grant you additional Screen Time. Some Action Cards also have Special Actions that can help you get chosen for dates, gain more Screen Time, or even sabotage other couples. The show culminates in a Season Finale where the final couples are decided and you decide who you want to leave the show with (or you leave the show alone). Match correctly and you get your picture-perfect romance (at least for 6-8 months after the show airs). Match incorrectly and you may go home alone, or worse, with someone who isn’t who you think they are. At the end of the game, every contestant (i.e. player) reveals their Intention Card. Contestants win if they are in a couple with someone revealed to be here for the “Right” reasons. However, if the show’s viewership ever reaches 10 million people, the game ends early. Everyone here for the “Wrong” reasons immediately wins and everyone else immediately loses. —description from the designer
Lovestruck supports 5–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Lovestruck is 45–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Lovestruck for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Lovestruck has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
