A card game to foster connection and closeness

We tend to chat all the time with our partners, but often not about what really counts - the sort of topics that clear the air, that reintroduce a spirit of fun, that draw us together, that make us remember what is really special about being part of a couple.

This is a pack of cards to foster connection and closeness, which can (strangely but truly) be generated almost on command by the right sort of conversations. Here are 100 questions that help couples to rekindle affection. They lead naturally to chats about what we are ready to forgive, what we deeply appreciate, what remains exciting and what is especially worth cherishing. This is a deceptively simple game with life-changing consequences.

The cards cover five categories: Appreciation, Aspiration, Desire, Forgiveness and Growth.

Example cards include:

  • What I really admire about you is…
  • When appreciative friends discuss us, what do you think they might celebrate in us?
  • How would you like to come back together again at the end of every day?
  • If you never improved one bit, I’d still…
  • The trick to understanding why I can sometimes be difficult is to remember that…

Leo ★★★★★

We played this on a rainy Sunday and ended up talking for three hours about stuff we'd somehow never brought up in eight years together. The card prompts are simple enough that no one feels put on the spot, but they go deep fast.

Eva ★★★★★

The deck’s question prompts cut straight to topics we’d somehow never touched in ten years together. We ended up playing for two hours past our planned bedtime, and the next morning I felt like we were on a whole new footing.

We pulled this out on a quiet Sunday afternoon and ended up talking for two hours straight — the prompts have a way of getting past the usual small talk. Already planning to bring it to our next dinner with old friends.
