Strengthen connection across generations, one card at a time.
72 questions for a table where the youngest is eight and the oldest is eighty.
The hook
Every family has stories nobody has ever been asked for, and one argument that returns at every gathering. Most family time is loud and short on anything real, and the people who know the most talk the least.
What it is
72 question cards across six doorways, in a rigid two part box with a rule sheet. Every card carries a mark that decides who answers first: the eldest voices, the youngest, or everyone.
Why it is different
-
The marks solve the actual problem at a family table, which is not what to ask but who speaks. Elders go first on the memory cards. The youngest go first on the ones where a child's answer is the gift.
-
There is a Peace Card, for when a card opens something older than the game. It stops the table without anybody having to be the one who stopped it.
- It is paced for eight year olds and eighty year olds in the same round.
-
Anyone may pass, always. Printed on the card, not buried in the rules.
Who it is for
Christmas, a long lunch, a birthday, a grandparent who will not be here forever. The single best use of forty minutes at a family gathering.
Where this goes next
The Family Journal is the quiet version, for one person, seventy three days on the role you were handed and whether you still want it. Many people buy the deck for the family and the journal for themselves.
