Common Questions

What kind of cards do we need?

Any standard deck of playing cards works. The game relies more on the rules you create than the cards themselves.

How do we stay safe during these games?

Set clear limits before you begin. Use a safe word if something feels wrong. Check in with each other after each round.

How long should a game last?

Thirty to sixty minutes is good. You can always stop early or play another round if you are enjoying it.
