Why play this
What is Relationship Effort Score?
Relationship Effort Score is a short relationship game built around relationship effort, emotional labor, and weekly check-ins. It gives you a contained way to compare instincts, name a preference, or start a conversation without turning the moment into a heavy talk.
How to use it well
Answer quickly first, then explain slowly. The useful part is usually not the choice itself; it is the reason behind the choice and the new information you learn about each other.
When to play
Use this game on a date night, during a quiet couch night, or when a relationship topic keeps circling without a clean starting point. Keep it light, but do not ignore a real boundary if one appears.
