How to Play

Five Rounds, and Your Vote Is the Card in Your Hand

  1. Shuffle each category into its own deck
    • Set the five decks face down, pick who goes first, and play clockwise.
  2. Everyone draws one card from this round's category
    • Each of the five rounds uses a different category.
  3. Choose the front or back question and read it aloud
    • Only the person reading answers it. Then the next player takes a turn.
  4. Give your card to the player whose answer you enjoyed most
    • Vote once everyone has answered. You can't vote for yourself, and every card you collect is one point.
  5. Count your cards after round five
    • The player with the most cards is the Truth Lines Champion.

Every Game Mixes Laughs, Honest Answers, and Kind Words

  • Open Up: light warm-up questions that get everyone talking.
  • Honest Moments: gentle prompts for sharing something true.
  • Transparent Twist: playful, creative challenges, like answering in a pirate voice.
  • Connection Paths: questions about trust, support, and the people at the table.
  • Kind Truths: encouraging, grateful truths about yourself and the people you're with.

What comes in the full game?

100 cards, 20 in each of the five categories, with a question on each side, plus the rules. The free sample is 10 printable cards, 2 from each category, that you can play tonight.

Who can play?

Between 2 and 8 players, ages 6 and up, and a game takes about 30 minutes. It works for partners, a parent and an adult child, friends, or a whole family at one table.

What if a question feels like too much?

Every card has a second question on the back, so you can pick the one you're ready to answer. You can also pass once per game.

Are there other ways to play?

Yes. A Lightning Round is one card each with no voting, Partner Mode has pairs guess how the other will answer before they reveal, and the Family Week Challenge is one card a day for a week.

Is Truth Lines therapy?

No. Forge offers practical relationship-building tools and is not a replacement for therapy, counseling, crisis support, or professional care.
