The game is split into 3 different stages: Memories, Present Day, Aspirations. In parallel with the different stages we experience in real life, the questions in the game are split this way to facilitate a complete circle of understanding with your friends.
The Actions
Vulnerability is hard, we know. Our action cards allow you to avoid the question at hand, with no hard feelings. They're limited though, so choose well when you want to play them.
The Keepsakes
Transparent motivational quote cards - wallet sized for you to carry around on a daily basis. Pull them out as a reminder for the days when you're feeling down.
My girlfriend and I enjoyed the card game thoroughly. The questions provided by the cards were great, there were many questions where my partner and I would never have thought of asking, so it sparked a lot of deep and meaningful conversations, some funnny ones too :)
It was really comforting to know that the deck has a few "NOT TODAY" cards to ensure that everyone stays comfortable and not feel forced to share something they are not ready to. It's a very well thought out game, great attention to detail and consideration to players as well! Even managed to get a few friends to consider purchasing it. Highly recommend!
My partner and I are very open with our thoughts and have regular heart-to-heart conversations, but we still learned new stuff about each other with these conversation cards! (This set of cards is the Friends Edition, but we still enjoyed it very much :) )
We like that these cards can guide you to be more introspective and vulnerable in a safe space (though this is based on who you decide to play the cards with) and that boundaries are in-built in the game β you can choose to not disclose your answer to a question if you really don't wish to β which we found nice to have.
So if you're keen on some guided reflection which you could embark on with a partner/friend(s), this might be something you'd like to check out! :)
Bear in mind we played this with people whom we're already very close to but despite already having that relationship with one another, we still somehow managed to understand each other on a deeper level. It was a great way to check in too! Sometimes we only feel the need to share big stories and neglect the small ones. Surprisingly, the small ones seem to leave a lasting impact as well. Thank you for the opportunity!
Great conversation starters even for best of friends
Played with a small, intimate group of 2 other friends whom I have known for 14 years. We played in the order suggested, and started with reminiscing our past. Questions and activities were well thought through, allowing some light-hearted moments along with some introspective ones.
I was fortunate to have my group of friend who held the space safely for me, and I did for them.
Great, intentional, wise use of time to bond! And can definitely be played again months or years down the road. Highly recommend!
