A trick-taking game where the cards are secretly ranked by what your friends actually love, and you find out the hard way.
Who it's for
Friend groups and new acquaintances who want a light card game that doubles as an icebreaker full of surprises.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a purely mechanical trick-taking game, because the whole appeal here is the personal, conversational layer on top.
Vibe's take
playful, revealing, social, light, conversation-sparking
My Favourite Things turns trick-taking into a strange little mirror of your friends' personalities. Before you play a single card, everyone hands you a category, and you secretly rank five things you love and one thing you can't stand in it, right there on the cards you're about to play. Nobody knows the true strength of a card until the trick resolves, so you're bluffing and reading people using preferences you only half-know. It plays out over two short rounds, and the real prize isn't winning hearts, it's the conversations the reveals spark afterward.
