'Year One' Proposal Card Game

On our first anniversary, I surprised my girlfriend with a hand-made card game that doubled as a wedding proposal.

I had spent a couple of months coming up with the rules, and bouncing them off designer colleagues at Splash Damage. Once I was happy enough with how it played (I had a time limit!), I arted up our first year together in three categories, with one card per month: Events we'd shared, Games we'd played, and 'Culture' we'd experienced - Films, concerts etc.

The goal of the game is to place the last of three cards in a 'set' (white, black or grey). You can draw new cards from the deck, steal cards from the table, and play your cards onto the appropriate month on the table.

I gave her the game as an anniversary gift, and after our first match I managed to sneak five 'bonus' cards onto the top of the deck. She drew them at the start of the second game, and said yes!
