Anyone who has traveled with me is familiar with my cards. Years ago I created a deck of standard poker cards with questions on them. I figured, wherever I went, I could use them to play with whoever I met along the way, and the questions could help spark conversations. They are now the first item on my packing list for any trip, family gathering or corporate event. I just updated the questions and had them printed and boxed to make them available to everyone.
Why do I love these cards so much? Well, no matter where you go, there is a local card-based game that you can learn from a new friend–or one you can teach. And what better way to relax, talk, laugh and get to know someone than over a fun game?
This is a standard 52-card poker style deck (plus two Jokers) so it can be used for most games. Card games are easy and learning new ones is always fun for all ages or size groups. But it is the questions that make these cards truly unique. There are four questions on each card. They range from soft topics like “what is your favorite pizza topping?” to more thought provoking ones like “what do you want to achieve in life and how do you know when you’ve attained that goal?”. You have the flexibility of asking the question you choose based on the players. Some questions are more playful, while others are more flirty. Again, you get to choose. The cards put people into a casual play environment which is great for conversation, and give topics to talk about which they may not have thought to ask otherwise. I just love them! And if you’ve ever been on a long flight or train ride, and can’t sleep, this is a great way to pass the time and get to know the person sitting next to you. And if they are sleeping, you can always use them to just play solitaire! You can download a full mini-set on PDF for FREE by clicking here and cut them out just to get the feel of them.
