Modern dating sucks. Singles today face romantic inflation, hidden agendas, and self-centered mind games. But instead of hating the players, this book invites readers to see dating for what it really is—a literal game—played through the perspectives of two main characters: Charlotte and Chandler.

Charlotte’s Game follows their “will they or won’t they” storyline as each navigates a different version of the game. For Chandler, it’s like baseball—advancing through bases that represent growing intimacy. For Charlotte, it’s a four-zone battlefield: the Friend Zone, the Fan Zone, the Fun Zone, and the Future Zone. To reach their romantic goals, both players must “play the game”, completing levels and missions, using strategies to win rewards while dodging risk.

Readers don’t just read this book—they play it, from first meet to final mate: landing on bases, scoring points, and defeating bosses along the way. The book reveals her Action Cards and how she rewrites the rules to tilt the game in her favor. With over 240 cataloged dating moves, this playbook decodes everything from classic tactics like ghosting, gaslighting, and gold-digging to hidden strategies like superlative seeking, smoke screening, and story reframing. Backed by psychology, economics, and game theory, the book helps readers:

• Detect covert agendas and sidestep modern dating’s traps
• Anticipate moves and respond with optimal strategies
• Decode nonverbal cues and interpret signals of interest or disinterest

With this playbook in hand, readers can finally disarm the battle of the sexes, decode mixed signals, and level the playing field. Whether you're trying to score or avoid being played, this book reveals the rules behind romance, helping you gain full mastery of Charlotte’s Game.
