The Dinner Table Deck
52 questions.
One table.
A deck of cards for the dinner table, free to print at home. Every card asks twice: one question to get an answer, and a smaller one underneath to get the truth.
No account. We don’t keep your answers.
Say one thing you admire about the person on your left.

The second question is the real one
Anyone can write fifty-two questions. The first one gets an answer: a place, a name, a year. The small one under the rule is where someone says the thing they did not plan to say. That line is the work.
Six letter sheets, nine cards to a sheet, cut lines on every one. Print at 100%, not “fit to page”. A cut card is 2½ by 3⅓ inches — it fits a pocket and a napkin holder.

Thirteen cards each, and one blank at the end for the question your family comes up with on its own. That card is the one we are hoping you use.
One question a week
If the deck is in a drawer by Thursday, this is the other way to use it: one card, by email, on Sunday afternoon, for as long as you want them. The email is the question and nothing else. Reply to it and a person reads your reply.
We store your address and the date you signed up. Nothing else. One click stops it.

What one sentence would you send yourself in ten years?
That is the one card that makes a promise paper cannot keep. We are building the part of Haklo that keeps it.
