I play this most often with my boyfriend and we always end up having such deep and interesting conversations, and feeling very connected after. I love that the questions help you end up hearing stories or talking about topics you would never usually get onto in normal conversations. Also the questions have different levels of depth which is perfect depending on what you feel like with friends / a partner
I recently used ReConEssence – Conversations and Deeper Connections as an ice breaker during a yoga retreat, and it exceeded all expectations. What stood out immediately was how naturally it guided our group from light sharing into deeper, more heartfelt conversations. The three levels of questions created a gentle progression, allowing everyone to open up at their own pace without ever feeling pushed or uncomfortable.
The cards felt thoughtfully designed—insightful, vulnerable, and often surprisingly profound. Even participants who are usually more reserved found themselves engaging meaningfully, thanks to the option to skip cards and the overall atmosphere of safety the game creates. It was the perfect blend of introspection and connection, helping our group bond in a way that felt authentic rather than forced.
What I loved most is how versatile the game is. It worked beautifully in a group setting, but I can also imagine using it for personal journaling or one-on-one conversations. By the end of the session, many people mentioned feeling more grounded, seen, and connected—exactly the kind of energy we wanted to cultivate at the retreat.
If you're looking to deepen relationships, foster trust, or simply spark richer conversations, ReConEssence is an invaluable tool. It’s gentle, thoughtful, and truly transformative.
Great game to deepen your knowledge about others/ yourself! You can also play it with teenagers (14-15 years old) is you select in advance appropriate cards. It 's a good way for them to reflect on their (forming) personality and their relation to the world!
We bought the cards and played it with a group of our best friends, had a really great time reflecting on how we have grown and so our friendship. Highly recommend you should get one deck and play it with loved ones. You will be surprised!
I love it!!
