Top 7 Best Question Card Games For Stronger Connections

Card games aren’t just about entertainment, complicated rules, or competition – they hold great value in building stronger connections, too. When it comes to that topic and sparking meaningful connections, question card games stand above the rest.

They invite players to open up and share experiences of their lifetime, embarrassing stories, and things that have probably shaped who they are as a person. 

1. We’re Not Really Strangers

Ages 15+ | 2 to 6 players | 150 cards;

We’re Not Really Strangers has proved its worth over the years since its release in 2018. It includes three categories of questions, starting from Perception, Connection, and finally, Reflection. With the level getting higher, the questions get deeper. Besides all that, the deck has a few wildcards included too, which require you to complete some specific challenges, such as writing messages to each other and reading them after you’ve parted. If you want to know exactly what’s in the deck, make sure to read We’re Not Really Strangers Questions.

2. Truth or Drink

Ages 21+ | 3 to 8 players | 275 cards;

Truth or Drink never goes out of style, just like Do or Drink, and honestly, who doesn’t enjoy a few sips when playing card games? There are 5 decks of cards included, and you can mix the ones you prefer when playing, not necessarily all. Decks are named ‘On the Rocks’, ‘Extra Dirty’, ‘With a Twist’, ‘Happy Hour’, and ‘Last Call’. You have no other choice: answer questions like ‘how do you describe your nipples to a blind person’, or ‘what’s one thing you can start doing to put more beauty back into the world’, and hundreds more, or drink!

3. How Deep Will You Go?

Ages 17+ | 2 to 8 players | 99 cards;

If you want to test how vulnerable you can get about your emotions, make sure to play How Deep Will You Go?. It includes questions split into three levels: Ice Breakers, Confessions, and Getting Deep, which names I bet, are all self-explanatory. Besides all that, it includes wild cards too, with different tasks, such as ‘draw your favorite memory with me’ or ‘you have 5 minutes, tell me your life story in as much detail as possible’. And the even better thing is that we’re offering an HDWYG digital edition, so you can get this meaningful deck for free.

4. Actually Curious

3 to 7 players | 52 cards;

Actually Curious is one of the newest games of this kind on the market, but an absolute great conversation starter. It includes four levels of intimacy, which differ by color: light blue, green, pastel yellow, and pink. So, most likely, you’ll start lightly with blue, with questions like ‘when do you feel most secure?’, and then level up to pink, with questions like ‘can violence ever be justified?’, while you build trust in each other. Actually Curious works fine with larger groups, or just as few as 3 players. 

5. Get Closer

Ages 16+ | 2 and more players | 100 cards;

In Get Closer, there are three levels of questions: Close (with questions like ‘what are you most grateful for?’), Closer (with questions like ‘what is the most painful thing that happened to you in your life?’), and Closest (with questions like ‘who is the closest person you have lost?’). As they say, the reason you’ll get to know each other better with this deck is that the cards are interactive, insightful, inclusive, convenient, and have a quality design, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more, after playing the game ourselves several times. 

6. Truths Untold

Ages 17+ | 2 or more players;

For whoever wishes there was a better version of Never Have I Ever, meet Truths Untold. This one’s a game, in fact, a bundle of several editions – game night, bachelorette, couples, and naughty edition, which helps you get closer with each question passing, plus, it’s extremely entertaining. You will read the questions, for example, ‘have I ever sent a risky text to the wrong person?’, and then either only the person who drew the card, or everyone playing answers with ‘I have’ or ‘I have never’. Optionally, instead of verbally answering, you can just take a sip of your drink and turn Truths Untold into a drinking game!

7. Tellitall

Ages 16+ | 3 to 10 players | 53 cards;

Tellitall includes a little competition as well, kinda like Cards Against Humanity. The idea is that one person will read a card, and everyone shares a story that happened to them relating to the topic, and the player who drew the card picks their favorite. Topics are something like ‘you believed something crazy’, ‘felt like a kid again’, ‘the weather scared the s*** out of you’, and much more. Besides the creativity on the topics, what we really appreciate too is the illustrations in each card. They add to the magic.

Final Thoughts

While all card games above share the same idea: bringing people closer and starting meaningful conversations, each is very unique and brings extremely creative content. And luckily, this list has it all: Never Have I Ever, drinking game, digital versions, and lots and lots of questions in different intimacy levels. Make sure to read the examples of questions, and pick your favorite. Or favorites!
