Actually, I come off a little bit harsh, there. The purpose is not only intimacy-escalating truth or dare, of course. Each rule serves another purpose: in Spione, that the trespass is at the moral scale of the players; in Bliss Stage, that the anchors are all of sexual attractive genders to the players, in the right ratio, and secondarily some bits about ethnicity which are not for public-internet discussion; in Breaking the Ice, that the characters have some fundamental point of different between them.
*But* I don't think that these rules do a good job of making the players' differences matter nearly so much as, say, the judging rules in Bliss Stage or the Dr. Freud note in Dogs.
