Build a Social Life
Turn passing hellos into people you actually see.
You get on with people but mostly wait to be invited, and friendships drift when nobody makes the next plan. You'd like regular company without forcing it.

Is this deck for you?
Where it takes you.
Turn passing contact into regular company, closer friendships and a circle you help sustain. Choose small invitations, shared time and dependable commitments that fit your life.
From
Waiting for invitations and watching friendships drift
To
Making plans, keeping up and helping a small circle stay together
What the cards have you do
- Invite someone to a specific hangout with an activity, place, day and end time: far easier to accept than “we should catch up”.
- Return to the same open gathering and greet familiar faces by name, so strangers get a chance to become regulars.
- Listen without rushing to advice, and repair a rupture honestly once you're both calm: the parts that make friendships closer.
- Try a bounded challenge: reopen one drifting friendship, or bring a new trio together twice.

What's the difference between the free deck and the printed deck?
The cards are the same. The free deck is a download: open it in the print studio and print it at home or save it as a PDF. The printed edition is professionally printed, front and back, with each card's QR code, so it's ready to pin up the day it arrives.
Can I buy a printed deck right now?
Not yet. The original boxed decks are sold out, and the printed editions of the library decks are being prepared. Join the waitlist on any deck and we'll email you once when it's ready to order.
Do I have to do a card every day?
No. You can pin one card and keep at it until it sticks, or draw a card a day for variety. Both work. The point is repeating something worthwhile at a moment you already have.
What if I miss a day?
Pick it up the next time the cue comes round. In the best-known study of habit formation, missing a single day didn't measurably set people back. Every card also says how the habit usually slips and what to do about it.
Are Challenge cards required?
No. They're bounded missions with a clear finish, from one evening to a few weeks. Do one when you want a stretch, and skip any that don't fit your life or health.
