The Culture Edition: Icebreaker Conversation Cards - Adult, Teen, Family Card Game, Couples Games, Games for Family Game Night, Adult Games, Family Games, Drinking Games for Adults

Great team building or get to know you activity for any occasion. Naturally provokes conversation and finds commonalities without all the awkwardness that can plague other question-oriented activities. Would absolutely recommend!

This is the third deck that I’ve ordered from Actually Curious and it’s great for ice breakers and getting to know people. I will continue to support this brand.

Game was not as fun as we had hoped. Some questions were boring.

My wife and I have been playing this “game”, which really isn’t a game considering how helpful it’s been in spurring real and authentic dialogue between us in our interracial and cross-national marriage.

Great pack to add to the curiosity edition, also great work meeting ice breakers. The questions are interesting and get convos going. Love the vibe of this company.

No, this isn't really a game, it's conversation starter tool in an easy to use deck of cards which is somehow more appealing than a printed page or book with the same questions. We've gotten a lot of these type of "games" this past year and this one has some of the most interesting and unique questions of any we've tried. They are interesting, not really provocative, so fine for most audiences. Yes, the theme is about our culture from reading to eating to viewing, etc. But it prompts sharing of unique and shared experiences that are quite interesting. It would also be a good thought provoker for writing a personal memoir, too.

I use these for my small groups of all ages. They work well across the board and get people thinking, talking, and engaging easily.

I'm an extremely introverted INFJ and I've always had difficulty starting and continuing conversations with people. INFJ's tend to despise small talk and love deep conversations. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get to deep conversations without small talk. I've been living in a beautiful isolation bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has swept the world and made it finally the socially acceptable and responsible thing to do to live an introvert life. Unfortunately I realized as 2020 came to a close that I would eventually have to return to an extroverts world and once again engage in uncomfortable and agonizing small talk. So I decided to try and improve my charisma and prepare my self psychologically and mentally for conversations.I came across this card set and actually purchase the base set of Actually curious cards along with one of the other sets. I like that the card "game" is actually somewhat based not the psychology of of intimacy (not sexual intimacy but forming relationships) which is an essential part of forming deep connections and meaningful relationships that foster those deep conversations with others that us INFJ's desire. There are many studies on the levels of intimacy and at a base level, these are organized into those levels though they don't necessarily say that or explain it that way.This particular set is the "Culture Edition" which I thought might be the easiest to start conversations with but to be honest I didn't feel like the questions it poses were largely relevant to me personally and probably wouldn't be relevant to most of the people I meet or know. It really seemed like maybe it was more geared towards a younger crowd and I'm in my 30s. I also felt like too many of the questions were a little too political leaning for the level of intimacy these would be focusing on. They ask about things like cancel culture and politics that while good topics of conversation sometimes just were not what I would be expecting at this level. They are the type of conversations people tend to only open up to once they become more comfortable and trusting of a person. When I think of culture questions I guess I think more of like basic religion questions, art, games, media, television, clothing, shared holidays (national as opposed to religious) traditions, etc... I guess I just didn't feel like the questions in this deck would really give someone even the basics about my culture nor would I get the basics of theirs.Despite not being quite what I was expecting and hoping I still found the cards useful. I didn't get them to play it as the suggested game. I compile the questions in a list and level the questions based on the 7 levels of intimacy and then I answer the questions myself. This gives me a way to prepare myself for answering similar questions because I'm not good at thinking about those kinds of things on the spot and it helps me to word my answers in ways that leave an open-end or drop hints about further interests to direct conversation forward. I know it comes naturally to some people but yes, I actually have to rehearse conversations to have small talk without seeming cold, uninterested, and uninteresting. I do like that I can keep cards like these in my purse and quickly pull them out and randomly rehearse topics or get ideas of what to ask someone when I'm stuck in a conversation.
