How To Host A Romantic Evening: Tropical Paradise (1991)

From the company that brought you the "How To Host A Murder" series comes a series of games that are geared towards 2 players. There are 3 themes to choose from in the "How To Host A Romantic Evening" series: Tropical Paradise, Roman Holiday, and Parisian Night. From the back of the box: "In her best-selling book, Light His Fire, author Ellen Kreidman shares the secrets of how to keep romance and excitement alive in a relationship. Those principles were the inspiration for this unique evening of entertainment for two. How To Host A Romantic Evening-TM is more than a game --- it is an event in which two people rediscover the excitement and attraction that may be forgotten in day-to-day routines." From the "Host's Guide": "Object: players move around the board by correctly answering the 'Knowledge' or 'Imagination' questions. When a player lands on a space and answers a question correctly, they keep the card. Five cards can be redeemed for a Light His/Her Fire Certificate of the player's choice. The first player to collect 3 certificates wins." Of course, in a game like this, both players are ultimately winners!
