Star Crossed is a two-player tabletop role-playing game about forbidden romance by Alex Roberts published by Bully Pulpit Games in 2019.
It uses a Jenga tower to build tension and determine story outcomes, inspired by the horror indie role-playing game Dread by Epidiah Ravachol.[1]
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.[2]
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."[3]
Star Crossed won the 2019 Diana Jones Award.[4]
