You've just found out that you're married to a douchebag (and by that I mean, probably your friend is married to a douchebag, because if your actual first thought upon this discovery is to make a game about it, you should definitely be posting to more contests) and you need a clarifying mechanism to understand how to proceed. And why not a tile-laying game? Cheaper than counseling! So, For all the possibly soon to be single ladies in the room tonight is a game to discover what you want out of your 3-18 month future.

We have sometimes played Paranoia with two GM's. The GM's shared the duties so that one GM played NPC's while another GM took care of other GM'ing activities. The major advantage was that NPC's got more depth in their personalities, since there was a dedicted GM for them.
