Card Game
The Family Conversation Deck
52 Questions for Families Who Want to Know Each Other Better
Each card moves a family conversation from the schedule to the person inside it.
For families — any structure, any generation — who want to have conversations that go beyond logistics.
The Name It First Experience
Time together produces logistics — this deck produces the person inside the schedule. The Family Conversation Deck delivers 52 questions that move past who has practice Wednesday and what's for dinner — into what each person actually thinks, what they care about, what they are afraid of, and what they wish the people in this family knew about them. It is for any family in any configuration — parents and kids, grandparents at the table, blended households — who wants to know each other for real, not just functionally. You pick a card, ask the question, and find out who is actually at the table with you.
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
- What do you wish this family talked about more — and what do you wish it talked about less?
- What makes you happiest when you are all together?
- What do you know about someone in this family that you have never told them you noticed?
