Card Game

The Card Game (180 Cards)

180 Questions for Couples, Friends, and Anyone Brave Enough to Answer Honestly

180 chances to say something true.

This is for:

Couples, close friends, or small groups who want a structured way to have real conversations — not small talk, not party games — but the kind of questions that tell you something true about the people you're with.

You'll produce:your The Conversation Deck

The Name It First Experience

Most conversations stay on the surface. Not because people don't want to go deeper — because nobody knows how to start. The Card Game gives you 180 questions designed to get past the surface and into the stuff that matters: what you value, what you're afraid of, what you believe, what you want, and what you've never said out loud. Three decks, three levels. Use it on a date, at a dinner party, on a road trip, or anywhere two or more people are willing to answer honestly. The conversation is the output.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What is the card you picked that asked you something you were not ready for — and what did you do with it?
  2. What did you learn about the person you were playing with that you would not have learned any other way?
  3. What would The Card Game Record hold about the answers that actually mattered — the ones you want somewhere more permanent than a game night?
