A cooperative card game about relationship maintenance

{<>} is a cooperative 3-player card game that borrows mechanics from the tabletop RPG genre. Players can expect to take part in narrative authorship, character creation and development, and roleplaying. While it’s a game focused on the understanding and maintenance of relationships, we hope that it serves as a fulfilling, nurturing, and informative experience for you, your playing partner, and those who assume the role of Happenstance, a third player whose role is to author moments in your relationship.
