The conversation game

Rate each other 1 to 10 and then talk…

These conversation cards start with a score from 1 to 10. Everyone scores privately. Reveal together — and when the numbers do not match, that gap is the conversation you never quite get around to having.

All three 1 to 10 and Then decks lined up

The bit that makes it work

The score is the icebreaker. The gap is the game.

Nobody has to make a speech or go first. You just pick a number. But the moment two people pick different numbers about the same thing, there is something honest to talk about — and that is where the name comes from.

Relationship deck

How open are you with the people you love about what you actually need?

1 to 10 …

You scored yourself 7
They scored you 4

Three points apart. Neither of you knew that a minute ago.

and then …

“What is something you needed recently and did not ask for?”

This is the “And Then” half. Instead of leaving you to invent the next question, you get a short set of follow-ups built for the gap you just found. It is the difference between a scoring game and an actual conversation.

How to play

Three steps, about a minute to learn

Reducing a belief to a number from 1 to 10 bypasses the usual defenses — and opens a clearer path into who we are with each other.

01

Draw a card and read it out

One question for the whole table. Pick whichever deck fits the room.

02

Score it 1 to 10, privately

Rate yourself, and rate each other. Staying off 5 is the whole trick — a middle answer tells nobody anything.

03

Reveal, and then talk

Scores come out at the same time. Where they disagree, you have found tonight's real conversation.
