TableTopics Couples Conversation Starter Cards - Valentine's Day Gift for Romantic Partners with 135 Questions for Date Nights & Intimate Talks

Play this game when first on a vacation in a rental home. My family loved it so much.We started to buy cubes' gifts. Easy enjoyable fun to create conversation. Used the game while traveling away from each other. We would play 3-4 cards each night to add unexpected topics to conversations. Lots of fun.

My husband and I have been married for over 30 years. We tend to get into a routine at night that isn’t very exciting. These cards have helped break that cycle. About twice a month we take turns picking out cards and we both answer them. It is a great way to start some really interesting discussions. I highly recommend this product.

Great set of questions and a nice box you can keep on the table. Would recommend a variety of sets!

Long story short: Generally awesome content! Not recommended for new couples or young teens! Please ignore the fact that the block of "cons" text is more than the "pros" text. There were in fact personally more pros than cons; it was very emotionally rewarding. CONTENT: 4.5/5 Most of the questions in this set were relatively excellent pertaining to the topic. A few of them, however seemed unpractical or totally unrelated to the topic - as my initial reaction, they were "fxxxing stupid". One of them asks, "How will relationships between men and women change in the next 30 years?" It's completely heteronormative, and it had nothing to do with my personal relationship with my boyfriend. I still don't know how to answer it! Another asks, "How compatible are our Zodiac signs?" Pretty ridiculous, but again, these were only a few cards. Most of them were wonderful, and each topic starter actually led to chain reaction of related topics. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: 3/5 The box is a kind of thick acrylic or plastic. There aren't hinges or snapping locks, so it's simply one half of a cube for the cards to sit in and the other half acts as a removable lid. (Looking back on it now, I ripped the sleeve that wraps around the box, as you can see in the picture. I didn't know it at the time, but I guess it's what you're supposed to do is use the sleeve to keep the box from easily opening. Oops!) The cards themselves aren't even cardstock, just regular cardboard. A few of the cards' words were actually printed poorly. The physical state of a few cards disappointed me a bit seeing as I paid $30+ for it all. PROS /// WHO I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO: I would recommend this for people in committed, long-term relationships or who are married. The purpose of Tabletopics is to create a discussion, so I'd also recommend it to the couples who are comfortable enough to freely open up with each other. And again, the questions are capable of creating long discussions that will sometimes lead to a topic completely unrelated to the original question. The questions can help you both learn new things and reaffirm old things (the equivalent of hearing "i love you" out loud as opposed to just assuming or knowing you're loved). CONS /// WHO I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO: I barely regret buying this, mostly because of the fact that I had to pay anything at all. Most conversation starters could be found with a Google search. I think the thing that makes Tabletopics different is that it's been catered to with trial and error through those who have purchased it. Ignoring the taxes, shipping, and container, each question/card essentially costs about 19 cents. I definitely wouldn't recommend this for a newer couple, unless they pick and choose which questions to discuss. Some of the questions that would be too intimate or personal for a newer couple, but would be fine for a couple who have been together longer, at least 1 or 2 years. I also wouldn't recommend this for young teenagers! Not only because of the sex questions, but a few cards are clearly meant for adults. One of them asks, "What jobs did you have during your teenage years?" and another asks, "What do you remember about the changes of adolescence?" I also think if you're the type who doesn't like to open up or talk freely, this isn't for you. Answering each question with one or two sentences defeats the purpose. COUPLE BACKGROUND, if it helps anyone at all: I've been in a committed relationship for almost 4 years. My boyfriend is turning 19 in September and I'll be 22 in March. This was my first time buying a set of Tabletopics. I bought it with the intention of reconnecting with my boyfriend during a camping trip. We'd been having trouble making conversation with each other since he changed a lot after his first year of college. The cards helped us "re-learn" each other, as if forcing us to reflect on the people we were in the present as opposed the people we were when we first started dating. We pointed out each others strengths and faults without any conflicts. Today he said to my face, "I'm so glad you brought those cards with you."

This is such a fun activity! We just set it on our coffee table and pull a few cards when we have time. Great conversation starters.

Great game to start conversations. Lots of laughs and easy to play

I found Table Topics when I was looking for conversation starters for me and my husband. I was so intrigued by Table Topics that when I saw there were multiple categories I took a gamble and bought 4 sets! I bought Not Your Mom's Dinner Party, Couples, Family, and Girl's Night Out. Conversations from a single card could last anywhere from one minute to one hour! I have learned so much about myself, spouse, family and friends! Anyone we have played them with loves them as well. We keep them around the house so they are handy at all times. The high quality, clear boxes, are nice looking and sturdy. There are political, personal, fun, funny and thoughtful questions. If the question doesn't pertain to us or if we don't like it, we tweak it. Basically, it is your game, you make the rules! We also have a rule that in any scenario we have our ideal body (as defined by ourselves) and unlimited means :-). My husband and I have been together for over 25 years and we have discovered that somehow we don't know everything about each other! We have a hot tub and get in it most every night. We usually pick a card before we head out and have some great conversations thanks to Table Topics! It's not a question of IF you want to buy Table Topics, it's more like HOW MANY and WHICH ONES to buy!

We received this today and everything with the cards seems well but the case it came in is broken on a lot of the corners. This was purchased as a gift so that it the only reason for concern for me.

Moi et mon copain on aime beaucoup. Petites questions simples et drôles qui portent sur différents sujets. La plupart des questions on abouti a des sujets de conversations qui ont duré des heures. Petit et discret, il traîne sur la table et quand l'envie nous prend en passant par là, on lit une question et on jase. Excellent pour diversifier les sujets de conversations et quand on aura terminé cette série on en acheta volontiers une autre.

Beaucoup plus de cartes que la majorité de ses compétiteurs. Assez amusant et stimulant les conversations parfois drôles.

Perfect to spark conversations!

One of the best ones! So many good questions.

The questions are very tame in my opinion, but still fun. I would've liked more humor and intimate or personal Qs.
