I suppose Breaking the Ice is more "cooperative" (lets see if we can get these two characters to have a happy life together) and Shooting the Moon is more "competetive" (two characters each trying to woo/obtain the "Beloved," who can optionally be played by a third person. http://www.blackgreengames.com/games.html Apparently the same author made a third game in the series, Under My Skin, but I'm not familiar with it. The first two, however, I'd recommend as showing what sort of mechanics can get people thinking all romantic-like, without excluding enjoyment by people who haven't made a commitment to one another. (After all, sometimes people just watch <i>27 Dresses</i>...)
