  • A Conversation Game For Book Lovers

    A 200-question literary card game for deeper conversations with friends, family, or new faces 📚
    Author Asks starts with a simple idea: great novels speak to us, but what if they were waiting for us to respond. This conversation card game is built entirely from real questions found in books, carefully collected from thousands of classic and contemporary works. Inside each box you get 200 authentic literary questions split into a Classic Deck and a Contemporary Deck, plus 10 Character Cards that invite you to answer as a Poet, an Unreliable Narrator, a Librarian, and more. There are no complicated rules, no winners or losers, just conversations that can be hilarious, surprising, or quietly thoughtful. Display a favorite card on the solid white oak stand and let literature spark new stories any time. Back Author Asks on Kickstarter now.
