After Dark, Couples Date Night Card Game

Goliath Product ReviewsUnited States

Good for getting to know each other better

This card game is fun and good for a couple getting deeper with each other. My wife and I had already talked about some of these things, but found it opened up conversations we might not have had otherwise. If you haven't talked about some of these things yet, this deck can be really good for you. Age range is "adult". Most of these types of couples games tend to be designed as some variant of "truth or dare or drink." This deck has a red side and a black side. The red side is mostly "truth" questions with a few "challenge" cards. The black side is similar but a little spicier. The red side is drink-free, which is good for pregnant couples. I don't remember any (or many) "drink" cards on the black side either. The heavy reliance on "truth" cards creates a little issue with replayability. It's mostly preferential questions, not many activities or challenges. So, once you go through the deck, the replayability value falls off pretty fast. Instead of just blasting through the deck, I'd suggest a different approach. Start with the red side. One person pulls 2-3 cards, reads them silently, then picks one they prefer to ask (or does a challenge if it's a challenge card). Then the other person goes. When you finish the red side, flip to the black side and keep going. Here's the thing, for shy people, this can help them open up. They'll see it as the card asking the question, not their partner. So, they might be more willing to answer or play along because the card told them to. One last thing, the cards are traditional playing card stock, not waterproof. Our toddler figured out how to reach the counter when we unpacked all the Amazon stuff. She got the box wet, and some of the cards got a bit of water damage from that. I'm not knocking them for it though, not their fault.

So much fun...

Me and my girlfriend love these. We only wish there were more cards as this is quite small of a deck. We own several naughty card games and this is our favorite. But again, it's a pretty small deck. In case you don't know, each card has a question on each side, one playful and one naughty. You draw a card and choose a question, and you go back and forsth as a couple. Wish they would come out with another, and larger, pack of these.

Buy them, you wint regret it.

Played this this with my husband the night we got them. Literally sat there for 2 hours and just read the cards and answered the questions. It did help us communicate a bit better, answering questions we may not have ever thought to ask.

Not a typical silly or drinking spin-the-bottle game.

After several decades of marriage we found this deck of cards fun, thoughtful and very useful. Just purchased 5 for gifts.
