How to get to know your girlfriend or boyfriend better? In a long-distance relationship, it’s a real headache: couple communication is more difficult when you’re far away.
When you are in a long-distance relationship, it is sometimes difficult to keep a link, to always find something to talk about… This is precisely why special “couples” question-and-answer games have appeared. And they are full of great ideas.
Quentin and I were able to renew a few evenings around the “Dimoi” game that was sent to us so that we could test it.
Here is our complete opinion on this game which gave us something to say, and to think about.
Dimoi Complete Test (couples edition), card game with original questions
Dimoi’s idea is to allow you to get to know your boyfriend/girlfriend better, by discussing original and important questions to ask as a couple. For this, the game we tested offers 4 types of questions: Popcorn, Us, For Interior and Torrid.
The opportunity to test your complicity within your couple!
Torrid: “sex” questions to rekindle the flame from a distance
Just because we’re a long-distance couple doesn’t mean we can’t share hot intimate moments. Having a stack of question ideas on hand helps to tell each other everything, without taboos.
Examples of hot questions :
- Have you ever been attracted to someone much older than you?
- Do you have a fantasy that we could fulfill together?
- What would be your ideal hot weekend?
Us: questions about your relationship, for your relationship
A category of questions proposed by Dimoi that will bring you back to many memories… and who knows, may help you better imagine the future, once the distance has been abolished.
Examples of “we” questions :
- Which of us two took the first step?
- How would you react if I couldn’t have children?
- If you could throw out one piece of clothing from my closet, would it be…?
For Interior: more serious “deep” questions
Deeper questions that address topics that are rarely talked about. These are, in my opinion, the questions that best allow you to get to know yourself. The key: more serious topics of discussion which are usually little talked about as a couple at a distance (lack of context).
Examples of “internal” questions:
- What situation is particularly stressful for you?
- Have you ever come close to death?
- Do you have a dream running through your head?
Popcorn: the category of uncategorized questions
Here, it’s about lighter questions (although… sometimes some arise from very serious conversations!)
Examples of “popcorn” questions :
- What’s the last lie you told?
- In your opinion, the website I consult the most is…
- If a genie granted you one wish, what would it be?
Lifespan of these question cards
If we took the liberty of giving so many examples of questions, it’s not for nothing… The Dimoi game offers 144 in total. And these are not the best.
The duration of use of this special set of “couples” questions will depend on your game mode. For our part, the first evenings we started by chaining 4, 8, 16, 20 questions in a row. Now we go more slowly: we draw fewer cards, but we take the time to answer in detail.
But why not use it in “calendar” mode with 1 question per day, to always find something to talk about in a remote relationship. Or decide to draw 5 questions each once a week.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Dimoi card game
What we liked:
- Varied, often surprising questions
- a flexible game, of the duration you want: you can draw a single card, or draw cards non-stop for 1 hour and respond to it
- When we really want to spend time with each other but we don’t know what to discuss, presto, we can draw a card to have an instant topic of discussion
- Some questions asked are things we don’t bother to ask ourselves, such as questions about death, sex, or our hardships in life. At the time it’s a little serious, but it’s interesting!
What we didn’t like:
- Replayability is not there. Even if nothing prevents you from replaying your questions with your friends ( except for those in the “Us” and “Torrid” categories… Well, it’s up to you! ) or from bringing out the deck of cards 1 year later
- We sometimes got our heads around one or two delicate questions. But that’s part of the game!
Review and Note from Dimoi: Finally, something to find ideas of what to talk about in a distance relationship?
This card game offers original conversation ideas to couples at a distance. Never run out of topics for discussion! ( well… not before the end of the package )
Little moments of embarrassment, of laughter, of “AH I KNOW!” or “… you answer first huh”…
Dimoi was a good experience in our opinion, sometimes a little less fun but rewarding, and which allows you to discover or rediscover yourself as a couple. The game is available here, and available in just a few days!
Couples Q&A games are a classic that never goes out of fashion, and will keep your evenings busy for a while.
