Friendships often run on shared routine rather than shared questions. You can spend years with someone and never ask what they are quietly working on, or which day of their childhood they would relive. This deck exists to fill that gap. The funny cards are for warming up, the memory cards usually produce the longest answers, and the deep cards work best late in the evening once the group has settled. There is no scoring and no winner. Draw one card, let whoever wants to answer go first, and allow the conversation to wander away from the question entirely, which is usually the sign it worked.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions make a good evening?

Ten to fifteen. Good answers take longer than you expect, and rushing defeats the purpose.

Is this only for close friends?

No. The funny and hypothetical categories work with people you have just met; save the deep ones for people you know.

Can two people play?

Yes, and it is arguably better with two. Long car journeys and walks suit this deck particularly well.
