Titanic is one of the most romantic movies ever known to mankind. You watch Rose and Jack kissing on screen, hugging, then bidding their final goodbyes for the nth times.

For the singletons out there, this is another reason to find a boyfriend: a couple of card games. There are a lot of games designed for groups of people, and those which target a niche market, such as couples.
