Star Crossed (game)

Star Crossed is a two-player tabletop role-playing game about forbidden romance by Alex Roberts published by Bully Pulpit Games in 2019.

Gameplay
It uses a Jenga tower to build tension and determine story outcomes, inspired by the horror indie role-playing game Dread by Epidiah Ravachol.

Reception
Charlie Hall for Polygon recommended Star Crossed for fan fiction "shippers" to play out their fantasy romances between characters in popular TV, movies and comics.

Beth Elderkin reviewed Star-Crossed in 2020 as part of a list of romantic tabletop role-playing games, saying that "It's a great way to build sexual tension with your partner, especially if it's someone you've been with for a long time. After all, there's no love quite like forbidden love."

Star Crossed won the 2019 Diana Jones Award.
