POCKET UNGAME - Couples - non-competitive card game for couples to discuss, share values & self express - get closer to your partner - Age 18+

If you are looking for a way to start a conversation with your significant other this works well. My husband is not much of a conversationalist and this game had remarkable results. It gives trivia type statements to respond to and fun at the same time.

My fiancé and I started playing this game just a week after our first date … we wanted to get to know each other on a deeper level. Both of us had spent years dating great people but came to realize that they weren't "the right one." I wanted to find my soulmate and so did he. This game is amazing because the questions help you to discover who that person is, what makes them tick, what makes them angry - and how they act when they're angry, If/how their parents showed affection, how they were disciplined…etc. I realize that people can gain this kind of understanding for their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife without this game. However, in my dating experience, it's taken years to achieve the kind of deep understanding that this game fosters in a matter of weeks.I'd imagine that asking someone these questions would be awkward if you weren't playing the game. But since it's the point of the game for both people to answer personal questions, it takes the awkwardness out of it and makes it fun to open up to each other. I highly recommend this game if you don't want to "waste" years of your life dating the wrong person. Speaking IMHO, it's better to know early on if we differ on how to raise children, how to spend money, how to celebrate holidays, etc.I could also see this game working wonders on your relationship even if you're already married because a rule in the game is that you can't speak unless it's your turn. Truly listening and feeling like you're being listened to is vital to successful communication, and when you can communicate effectively, you are able to see past differences and understand the other's heart. Even something as simple as asking each other a question from one card while getting ready for work in the morning can keep the communication lines open and strengthen any relationship.

These are great questions. My husband and I have only been married a couple of years but been living together a while. Some of these do not engage us in conversation because we already know a lot about each other or it’s a silly question like “what’s your mate’s favorite color.” Come on, haha. However, some of them are great questions and we have been able to have some great communication between the two of us after asking some of these questions. The game recommends a specific time slot for play but we’ve just set aside a couple of questions a night for us to discuss and we’ve enjoyed it. Keep in mind these can be deep and emotional questions. I can see how some questions could begin an argument with some couples. Stick to rules and have fun.

My therapist recommended this at couples counseling. I like the idea but most of the questions are basic. Great idea though as conversations starters.

My therapist recommended the Ungame when I confessed that I felt my husband and I were drifting apart on so many levels. I felt he had been happy, while I had been miserable, and the utter monotony of marriage and the taking for granted that comes with it was beginning to make me understand why so many couples don't "make it" anymore. I bought the Ungame and told my husband about it and he agreed to participate, so we sat and played out own version figuring we would only do a few of the cards just to see what it's about, but we not only played most of the deck, but spent a couple of hours reconnecting and learning about each other (who knew that after almost 18 years of marriage we didn't know it all) and laughing and tearing up. It was wonderful. I also learned that he had been feeling disconnected like I had and I had no idea.We have played a couple times since then. The Ungame is a great icebreaker when one or both of you want to address something missing in your marriage/relationship, but aren't sure how to start or you just want to sit and relate to one another and reconnect as couples NEED to do on occasion (yeah it sounds "hippie", but it was really nice). If anything it's an excuse to make time for one another.

This has really added depth to the conversations that my boyfriend and I have had, and the conversations my friends have had as well. I ordered this along with the 20-somethings edition, and the original edition and all are wonderful. We have played by the rules, but we tend to just draw cards and chat and see what happens. My friends didn't like the keep silent rule but I have found it very helpful in my normal conversations as well as the game induced ones. We enjoy playing late at night, often when some of us have been drinking. We had great conversations before but would run out of topics. I learned so much about my friends, my sister, and my boyfriend through our conversations.We skip the questions that don't apply to us or that we don't like, but there aren't too many. Great game. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to have better conversations.

I bought this thinking it would be a fun thing to do as my husband and I left on a romantic weekend away. I didn't realize that this is basically couple's therapy in a box. The questions are not fun or funny and all of them seem serious. I could see how it could help couples who are going through hard times, but it's not really fun or romantic. On the upside, as soon I read the questions I knew what my husband would say on almost every question. So I guess that means we have really good communication? :) By the way, our weekend was still great even without a game to play on the way.

amazing game ever, pays every penny

Buscaba algo parecido para fomentar la comunicación con mi pareja, trae muchas preguntas que una pareja que lleva años juntos ya conoce la respuesta, pero nos ha servido mucho para ahondar en cuestiones que en otras circunstancias difícilmente haríamos.

My wife and needed something to do other than watch tv so I went searching on Amazon and found this game and after reading the reviews I thought this would be great for us to get to know each other even better. We have tried it and it is great.

This is such a great game to learn about your partner -- and a fantastic tool for couples therapy!! Highly recommend!

Good Questions and good game to get to know your group or break the ice.
