An idea.
A working instinct.
An unowned task.
Name something worth testing. Compare how you feel about acting before every question is answered. Then offer proposals for a task an imaginary team keeps leaving undone.
Free to play together. Read aloud; the screen stays between you. Different answers are the interesting part.
Open the full-screen three-card trial ↗READ ALOUD · PLAY TOGETHER
Either of you reads aloud. One answers first; the other responds or shares an answer. Swap who starts on the next card.
A little more guidance
Read aloud. One person begins; respond to what they say, or share your own answer. For a round, invite each person once. Anyone may pass. Move on when you are ready. The device can stay on the table. Reading does not make you the first answerer.
FIVE CHAPTERS. MANY WAYS IN.
From a reason to begin
to a question left open.
Begin with the seven-card opening, pick a chapter or draw freely from the full edition. You can explore one topic without deciding everything. Some questions are useful precisely because they stay open.

HOW TO PLAY
Read. Propose.
Leave room to disagree.
Choose a real or imagined venture to talk about, then open seven selected cards or a chapter. Some cards supply a different scene: use the one printed there. Read the guidance aloud. You can finish with a question instead of an agreement.
- 01
Anyone reads
Read the card and its guidance aloud. Reading does not make you the first answerer. Use the proposed venture or the card’s imaginary team. You can describe an example or pass without explaining.
- 02
Take turns beginning
For two: one begins and the other responds or gives an answer; swap who starts next time. In a group: a volunteer starts. Round cards invite each person once, with the option to pass.
- 03
Follow the interesting part
Ask what a proposal protects, name missing information or keep a useful difference. Tap Next when you are ready. Pause, change chapters or finish without explaining.
Decide, then compare
Read both options. Each decide silently first; say your choices together on three. Talk about what drew you to them. No votes are submitted on the phones.
Say the actual words
Pitch an idea in two sentences, invent a meeting test or explain a fictional mistake. The card names the finish. Say the words normally; nobody has to perform a pitch or disclose a real mistake.
Add an idea each
Offer ideas before deciding what to combine. The card names the result: a small trial, a handover reading order or an open question and useful information. Read or describe it aloud. Two versions are welcome.
Choose a process, keep a difference
Each offer a proposal before responding to the others. You can keep a trial idea, a process to examine or an unresolved difference. Nobody wins a negotiation. Nothing said here becomes a signed agreement.
Big enough to read. Small enough to bring.
