Project story
Master Dater, the messed-up dating game from Cyanide & Happiness, is a party game where players create awful, wacky, loveable characters and vie for each others' attention and affection. Defeat your rivals. Win at love!
Come join our romantic adventure, get the Gamefound exclusive Big Love Edition, participate in weird and wonderful stretch goals, and unlock special limited backer reward tiers.
We also hope you'll join us as we take you on a romantic quest for true love in a very special interactive animated series, airing every Monday and Thursday. More about all that farther down the page, but first, a quick rundown of the game itself!
There's also a bonus gameplay variant for those who back the Big Love Edition, which comes with 4 collectible Cyanide & Happiness pins! We like to call it Pin It To Win It. Here's how it works!
Where's the stuff? I came here for stuff.
The core Master Dater game comes with 115 Heads, 115 Bodies and 300 Interest (100 Hearts, 100 Sparks, 100 Flames) cards to keep you and your friends busy for hundreds of hours of wacky dating times!
That is it.

About Us
Cyanide & Happiness is a long-running comic and animation series that has ruled over the weirder corners of the Internet for the better part of two decades. In 2016, we created our first card game, Joking Hazard, which opened up a new avenue for us to reach our fans with dynamic, hilarious, and content-rich tabletop games.
Risks and challenges
Cyanide & Happiness has successfully crowdfunded two previous cards games and have the experience and supply network needed in order to deliver on this project. Our biggest concern at this moment is the state of international shipping and manufacturing. Our priority is delivering this product to backers on or before our stated delivery dates and we will communicate any delays or disruptions in that timeline to backers the moment they arise.
Refunds and cancellation
Refunds will be available until the Gamefound Pledgemanager closes (right before fulfillment begins). Any fees or costs incurred from Gamefound will be deducted from requested refunds.
