Description
Dating April is a GM-less tabletop game about art, poetry, and dating. This game can be played solo or with a group of friends. With just a deck of cards, a d6, and your favorite writing and drawing materials you can play. The first half of the game is dedicated to creating April (the one you'll be dating), it's full of drawing and poetry prompts that allow the players to really give April personality. After April is created it's time to date them. Players take turns drawing cards and rolling for successes, but don't be too disappointed with a failure because there's always a drawing or poetry prompt to earn you bonus points. Dating April is meant to be a queer experience for all types of players.
