How to play

  1. Pick a deck that fits the mood, or leave it on all decks for a shuffled mix.
  2. Take turns. One of you reads the card aloud, then you both answer it.
  3. Action cards ask you to do something instead of answering: a hug, a compliment, a small dare. Skip any card you don't feel like answering.
