The game, released in November of 2018, encourages people to “make meaningful connections” and “deepen your existing relationships and create new ones.” The founder, Koreen Odiney, was inspired to create the game after having her heart broken, and finding solace in interviewing strangers and asking them about love and life.The WNRS Instagram boasts over 1.8 million followers and has birthed a social movement centred on vulnerability and openness – their feed is perfectly aesthetically curated, with pictures of billboards and signs displaying affirmations like “Stop Feeling Bad For Doing What’s Best For You” and “Your Boundary Doesn’t Need An Apology.” “We’re Not Really Strangers” is the perfect embodiment of the introspective card game. We’re Not Really Strangers ‘We’re Not Really Strangers’ ranges from seemingly trivial questions to hard-hitting exercises. These games prompt you to ask questions that you’ve perhaps been too scared to ask yourself, and the people around you, using a format that we all know and love. The result? A cathartic experience that feels like a therapy session, with many epiphanies, revelations, laughs and tears. These games encourage you to form deeper connections with others, as well as yourself, and want their players to demonstrate vulnerability. But if you’re finding yourself getting a bit tired of slightly disturbing games of Cards Against Humanity with your family or insanely heated matches of UNO with your mates, then why not bust out these out at the next game night?

In the last few months, some of us have probably resorted to some indoor game nights for some lockdown fun.
