Openly expressing feelings and being emotionally vulnerable may be considered taboo in society, but there is one movement that’s hoping to change that.

The viral card game We’re Not Really Strangers seeks to deepen connections between friends, acquaintances and even strangers. Through each card, the game asks questions that are often overlooked or unmentioned in society with the goal of fostering emotional connection.

In the game, there are questions like “How are you, really?” and “What can I help you with?” There are additionally “wildcard” questions where all players can answer. One of them being, “Maintain eye contact for thirty seconds, what did you notice?”
