Review

“Hygge” is a Scandinavian word that describes coziness and comfort. This game seeks to replicate that feeling through thoughtful conversation topics on cards. I came across this at a café with my girlfriend and the game reminded us of Let’s Get Deep.

While Let’s Get Deep focuses on questions more relevant for couples, The Hygge Game can be played with almost anyone. The topics range from the mundane, such as whether dogs or cats are smarter, to more abstract and philosophical prompts, such as the definition of intelligence and how one would act in different moral situations. The questions are interesting but can be a hit or miss depending on the group playing. As with Let's Get Deep, there's not much replayability once all the prompts from the cards have been seen once.

Conclusion

A series of conversation prompts wrapped up in great marketing.
