your bag's new favorite thing
"I keep this game in my fanny pack and it's the perfect game to pull out in any setting. I've played it with my friends at a party and with my partner on a picnic."
there are a lot of card decks out there.
this one actually goes with you—and makes every game more than a game.
game night.
road trips.
dinner with friends.
a park bench with a bottle of wine.
small enough to toss in your bag.
strong enough to start something.
and it works. every time.
and what does "tumler" mean?
glad you asked.
tumler is a yiddish word for the person who gets the party going.
my grandma (RIP mimsy) used to call me that — because i was always the one starting the games, the conversation, the fun.
here's where your tumler shows up best:
ICE BREAKER
“I love the questions on the cards. I'm an introvert, so the questions really help me break through the internal struggle of how to keep a conversation going.”
date night
"I keep it in my purse at all times and it has come in clutch on multiple occasions. I especially love pulling it out for first dates, it's the perfect way to get to know someone while also giving us a lighthearted activity."
family parties
"My family loves The tumler deck. It's hard to find a game we can all enjoy, from my pre-K aged grandson, my 20-something aged son with autism, my 20-something aged kids & their partners to my husband & I."
road trips
"Tumler cards turned our 4-hour road trip into an unforgettable journey filled with giggles and heartfelt chats. We've taken these cards on adventures across multiple states, and they're always the first thing we pack."
dinner parties
"Had some friends over for poker night, and ended up with hours of conversations. We never even finished the game."
with the kids
"I'm a big believer and advocate for therapy. My sister prefers to just not talk about past traumas. But these questions somehow allowed her to talk about things she normally doesn't like in a non-threatening way. And they're not invasive enough that you wouldn't be comfortable doing them with strangers."
second edition now available!
after the first edition, a shocking number of you asked for a second.
so i made one.
you can start with either edition — each deck has its own design and its own set of questions.
different prompts. same goal.
fun. connection. less awkward.
and if you’re the kind of person who likes the full set?
i got you.
grab both and you’ll get a little discount for your “i want it all” energy 😉

how to play
pick a q
1.
deal out 3-5 cards to each player.
2.
pick someone to be the rounds rat. (why rat? because rats are cute and mysterious–we should get to know them better.)
3.
everyone chooses one of their cards they want the rat to answer.
4.
put the card face down in front of the rat.
5.
the rat reads all the questions out loud.
6.
on the count of 3, everyone points to a card they want the rat to answer most.
7.
majority wins. if there's a tie or split votes, the rat chooses which one to answer.
8.
the person to the rat’s left is the new rat :)
9.
play until bored.
highest card asks
deal everyone a card. whoever has the highest card asks their question to the group.
once you start noticing repeat questions, switch it up:
highest card answers

YOUR NEW FAVORITE THING TO BRING
small talk is fine.
but better questions are just better.
here's where tumler shows up:
/
“Your best party trick will be to bring these cards everywhere you go.”
quality you can feel
unless you’re a professional poker player, you probably don’t think much about card stock.
i didn’t either.
but that didn’t stop me from making tumler with the good stuff.
each deck uses premium bee crushed stock — the same cards preferred by magicians and cardists.
what that means for you?
smooth shuffles.
easy handling.
that broken-in feel from day one.
a deck that feels as good as it looks.
"Do I love this product? Let's just say my car was broken into this weekend and my tumler deck was the first thing I looked for to make sure it hadn't been taken. Sounds like love to me."
