Better Strangers is a people-watching game inspired by your daily commute!

Simply select a figure in view—whether in person or a piece of art—and start answering any of the game’s 80 card prompts to weave a complex web of histories, motivations, and desires. Designed to be played in short bursts or during long waits, alone or with friends, and always at a respectful distance, start imagining Better Strangers today!

In Better Strangers, cards prompt you to answer questions about a figure within eyesight to create an imaginary backstory for them. Bold prompts can only be applied to someone you're answering a question about for the first time, while italic prompts can only be answered as additional facets of someone you've already started defining.

Available as a custom deck of cards, this digital version includes a black & white zine coordinating prompts to a standard 52-card deck as well as print-and-play sheets of cards to cut out.

Better Strangers is illustrated by Ellie White.
