How to play Questions That Will Make You Cry
- Pick an evening where neither of you has anywhere to be afterwards.
- Both answer every card. Whoever asks answers second.
- Do not interrupt an answer, ever.
- Five cards is a full evening. Ten is a lot.
Why couples love this game
Some things only get said when there is a reason to say them. These questions manufacture the reason. Most couples find at least one answer they had never spoken out loud, which is the entire justification for a deck this heavy.
Tips to make it more fun
- Do not play this after an argument.
- Silence after an answer is correct. Leave it.
- Crying is the expected outcome, not a problem to fix.
- Stop after five. Working through the whole deck is not the point of this one.
Frequently asked questions
Are these questions too much?
For an ordinary evening, yes — that is the warning. On the right evening, with someone you trust and nowhere to be afterwards, they produce things people have been carrying for years without saying.
How many should we do?
Five is a full evening. Working through all fifteen in one sitting is not the intended use.
