    I made a conversation starter card game▲7

    Hey HN, I made conversation starter game. Here's how it works: - Choose a theme like "Couples" or "Favorites" - Tap to reveal thought-provoking questions - Take turns answering and discover new things about each other I made ConvoCards because everyone has an interesting story to tell, but these don't often come up in day to day conversations. I also enjoy using them for journaling and self reflection. I hope you enjoy playing and learn something new about someone close to you!
