Questions

What do you need for a date night at home?

One thing to talk about, one thing to do and a little effort on the setting: phones away, a table set properly, music. Conversation cards, a two-player game or something to cook together cover most nights.

What are good games for couples at home?

Two-player games play in under 30 minutes. Conversation decks are better when you want to talk rather than compete.

How we pick: things two people use together, from brands we would buy from ourselves. Brands do not pay to be listed. Prices come from the brand's own store when we checked and can change; the price on the store when you buy applies. Product photos come from each brand's own website and belong to them.
