Deep Conversation Starters

About this deck

Sixty questions for the conversations that start after the easy topics run out. These aren't interview questions or therapy prompts — they're the kind of question one friend asks another at the end of a long dinner, when the table has thinned out and someone finally says something true.

A good deep question has two properties: anyone can answer it, and no two people answer it the same way. That's the bar every card here had to clear. Some reach backward (what you'd tell a younger you), some reach forward (what you're quietly building toward), and some just hold up a mirror at an unusual angle. None of them have right answers, and the best ones tend to get answered twice — once quickly, then again honestly a minute later.

The deck shuffles by default. Draw one card and actually stay on it; a single question given ten minutes beats ten questions given one. Heart the ones that opened something up — they're saved in your browser, and the session report collects them with a copy button so a good conversation can leave a trail.
