Know Yourself Prompt Cards
60 prompt cards designed to help lead you through the important task of knowing yourself a little better in life.
It can be hard to understand who we really are: what we want, how we feel and why we react as we do. This lack of self-knowledge can lead us into unhappy relationships, unsatisfactory jobs, and unsustainable spending habits. No wonder Socrates summed up all the counsel of philosophy in just two words: 'Know Yourself'.
These Know Yourself Prompt Cards are designed to assist us in a journey of self-knowledge. They present us with a range of ideas and questions that encourage self-reflection, allowing us to become a little more aware of what we really need and what our priorities and potential might be. Each card carries an exercise on one side and a piece of analysis on the reverse to help you gain insight and clarity on that ever elusive subject: yourself.
60 cards in box | 104mm x 73mm x 36mm.

It kick-starts conversations about our life, values, fears and dreams through a series of thought-provoking questions played over three levels.

It's designed to be played in groups or pairs- with friends, first dates, long-time partners, or even daring strangers.

The Therapy Game
€27.50
The Therapy GameLearn to Talk. Learn to Listen.
When we end up in a really good conversation with a friend, we sometimes pay them a slightly unusual but sincere compliment: we say that chatting to them feels like talking to a good therapist.
What we tend to mean is that they’re giving us space to talk, they’re not interrupting us or pushing their own advice aggressively forward: they’re properly listening.
This game cannot turn us into real therapists (that would take years of training). But like many good games (ones about flying or being a detective for example), it gives us a chance to try out, entertainingly but safely, one of the most interesting sides of a great profession. The Therapy Game offers us a rare opportunity to listen and speak to one another at truly fulfilling length and depth.
The cards cover five categories:
- Work
- Sex
- Relationships
- Anxiety
- Self
Questions cover topics such as:
- Who do you need to impress?
- What did you learn about relationships from your parents?
- If you were a friend of yours, what would you tell yourself about the challenges you face?
- Around what features of your character does your self-hatred focus?
Contains adult content.

The Family Game
Sold Out
The Family GameLaugh & Reconnect With Those Who Matter Most
The idea of family lies close to the meaning of life, but in practice, families do not always come together, or chat about what matters, or laugh as much or as often as they should. Everyone gets too busy, or it can feel hard to get into certain topics – and without anyone meaning to, occasions keep slipping by. The Family Game is the solution; this is a game expressly designed to help family gatherings live up to our highest hopes. It consists of a host of questions (chosen randomly with a dice) that kick-start the best sorts of conversations: ones in which we reconnect, say things we always meant to, laugh warmly together – and remember why family counts.
The cards cover five categories:
- Gentle Teasing
- Gratitude
- Self
- Memories
- Regrets
Questions cover topics such as:
- What would the movie of your family be called?
- To whom have you been a bit too moody?
- How would you like to evolve?
- What was your favourite time of day when you were little?
- If you could be forgiven for something, what would it be?

Table Talk Card Game
Sold Out
40 placecards with 80 questions for sparking meaningful and revealing conversations around the table.A meal with friends is only ever as good as the questions we ask one another. Too often, we fall back on polite but not so inspired staples: 'Have you got anything special planned for the weekend?' 'What do you do?', and so on.
But there are better kinds of questions - questions that work like magic keys that open up our hearts, draw out our memories and prompt our latent reserves of generosity, fun and interest.
This pack collects 80 of these sorts of questions to ensure a meal together can be at once meaningful, entertaining and touching. Laid out on placecards, the questions gently and charmingly pull our fellow diners towards the sort of topics that matter most to our deeper selves - and help us get the most out of one another.
Instructions:
Use 1 card per place setting.
Fold each card in half and add your guest's name. Now you can select who sits next to whom.
Each card has 2 questions. Prompt your guests to use them over the meal as a way to get to know their neighbours and have more interesting and meaningful conversations.
Questions Include:
- What do other people not understand about you?
- What do you worry about in the middle of the night?
- Which three adjectives capture important things about you?

Untranslatable Words
€20.00
Untranslatable Words Card SetA set of 20 cards which explain the meaning behind untranslatable words from around the world.
We’re hugely dependent on language to express how we really feel, and yet words often feel curiously vague or frustratingly inaccurate. There are lots of moods, needs and feelings that our own language has not yet properly pinned down. The perfect word - even if it comes from abroad - helps us explain ourselves to other people, and its existence quietly reassures us (and everyone else) that a state of mind is not really rare, just rarely spoken of.
This set of cards define some of our favourite words from the world's languages and married them up with complementary images to create cards that bring some of our most important feelings into focus. We’ve created them to prompt greater reflection about the nature of language and the emotions.
Example Cards
DUENDE (Spanish): A heightened sense of emotion created by a moving piece of art.
FORELSKET (Norwegian): The euphoric feeling at the beginning of love. We can’t believe someone so perfect has wandered into our lives. They enhance and complete us. We might report: ‘I was overpowered by forelsket as our fingers interlaced…’
YŪGEN (Japanese): Gives a name to a mood in which one feels that the universe as a whole possesses a mysterious and elusive beauty. Moonlight, snow on distant mountains, birds flying very high in the evening sky, and watching the sun rise over the ocean all feed this sensibility.

Ping-pong Paddle
€59.00
Supersmash found its roots back in the noughties, with the friendship of two guys playing ping-pong in the parks and bars of Berlin and Geneva. Since we both are graphic designers, we started to think how cool it would be to have paddles that actually look good, rather than are just functional. We also wanted them to be diverse so everyone to find a pattern that fits their style. With this in mind, we designed an intentionally ambivalent object, and let you decide whether Supersmash is a functional item or a decorative one. So, are you going to hit the ping-pong square or just display your racket next to your dog picture?
Dragonfly: The Dragonfly… constantly controlling the opportune approach, the deadly angle. Adapting amplitude and frequency at each move, twisting and changing its flight flow, ready to hit with surgical precision. Dragonfly is a silent killer, a ninja of the air – be prepared to command considerable attention.
Hofmann: Your opponent may think that you’re just casually playing… but the Hofmann distorts the reality of your hits. Its hypnotic swirls confuse and con any players into an alternate world. Hofmann will not only lead you to success – be also prepared to command considerable attention.
16Bit
Children of the 80ies, masters of Space Invaders, aficionados of arcades… Look no further! 16bits is memorabilia of a time when MTV was the sh** and a perm got you in clubs. With its sulphuric fluorescents and acidic yellow dashes, it’s only in motion that 16bits reveals its faculties to confuse opponents. Be prepared to command considerable attention.
Huntsman
Ready to be rendered transparent against the green backdrop of a ping pong square, the Huntsman plays on the codes of hunting. Stay still, wait, wait for it, and boom, that one blow, the stroke that hits the bulls-eye. And the Huntsman is totally vegan, by the way. Be prepared to command considerable attention.
AS2
AS2 is a collaboration with Swedish artist Andreas Samuelson. With his seemingly stripped-down graphics, he makes the complicated simple and the simple a little more complicated. “For me, sport and artistry are the same. In the same way that you move on a playing field with your opponents, you can create a composition with shapes and lines.”
Werewolf
Sold Out
Werewolf is an interactive multiplayer game. This activity often appears in corporate settings as a team-building game or icebreaker. Werewolf is a slightly complicated game, and understanding the rules beforehand is essential. View full product details

Dankbarkeit / Gratitude Cards
€20.00
A set of 60 cards to remind us of the many reasons we have to be thankful.
We are experts at focusing on what is missing from our lives. Our dissatisfaction often serves us well; it keeps us from complacency and boredom. But we are also dragged down by a pernicious inability to stop, take stock and recognise what isn't imperfect and appalling.
We are experts at focusing on what is missing from our lives. Our dissatisfaction often serves us well; it keeps us from complacency and boredom. But we are also dragged down by a pernicious inability to stop, take stock and recognize what isn't imperfect and appalling.
In our haste to secure the future, we omit to notice what is already very good. This pack of cards is designed to help us pause in our striving and, for a few moments, take on board some of what we have to be grateful for - a consoling, inspiring corrective to the lessons in cynicism and sourness that the world teaches every day.
Example cards:
- There were no outright catastrophes today.
- Others forget the stupid things we’ve done faster than we do.
- We can reinvent ourselves – a bit.
- Other people are usually shyer, sweeter and kinder than we’d anticipated.
- We have managed to learn a few things down the years.
- We don’t have to take ourselves seriously.
- Many of the people we love are still alive.
- We could disappear for a bit.
- Many of the world’s most interesting people have written down their thoughts.

Everyday Adventures Card Game
€17.50
Re-Discover Wonder and Excitement
As grown-ups, one of our deepest urges is for life to be more adventurous: a little more excitement, novelty, interest and passion. Unfortunately, many adventures, especially the ‘big’ kinds, are too expensive, threaten to upturn everything and can upset those who rely on us. What we therefore badly need is access to smaller, more pocket-sized adventures.
We call these ‘Everyday Adventures’ – from something tiny like eating an unfamiliar fruit from the market to rereading your favourite book to asking a parent what they were like as a teenager. This is a suggestion box to spark the imagination, revive the spirit and motivate us towards the slightly more adventurous lives we long for.
Adventures include:
• Write down five questions you wish someone else would ask you; ask them of someone else.
• Set your alarm before sunrise and go for a walk.
• Complete the sentence: ‘If I wasn’t afraid of failure, I would…’ Tell a friend your answer.
• Make something nice out of beetroot.
