About the game
What you do in a play session
Feelinks turns your living room into an emotion lab. Instead of rolling dice, you draw cards that bring everyday situations—from “You wake up in the skin of another ethnicity” to “The Justice Minister is smoking marijuana.” Each card asks you to pick the emotion you feel and, at the same time, guess your partner’s emotion. It’s a duel of empathy and bluffing: you bet that you know how the other feels, but the winner depends on who reads the other’s heart best. The game works in teams, so communication is key: the better you understand each other, the further you move along the emotion track. The goal is simple—reach the end of the track before the others, either by counting rounds or whoever arrives first. Feelinks was born from a Poitiers initiative to combat discrimination, so each scenario poses a provocative question that forces us to look beyond our biases. If you enjoy games that mix conversation, light strategy, and a dash of psychology, this is your next gathering.
With a 20‑40 minute playtime, 3‑8 players, and bluffing mechanics, even the shyest players feel comfortable putting their heads on the table and saying what they really think. The game is easy to set up—50 cards, 150 situations, and you’re ready! If you like challenging friends to truly get to know each other, Feelinks has what you need.
