The Relationship Design Game
The Relationship Design Game invites you to explore your true desires, challenging traditional relationship norms.
​
With this game, you can design relationships based on what you and your partners genuinely want.
​
While society often influences how we relate intimately to each other, this tool aims to help you create more conscious and intentional connections.
The Sexuality
Design Game
The Sexuality Design Game, the latest addition to the collection, invites participants to reflect on and discuss their desires, boundaries, needs, beliefs, and ideas concerning various aspects of sexuality.
​
This game aims to stimulate self-awareness, encourage reflection, and enhance communication.
​
It's a powerful tool designed to break down stereotypes, challenge preconceived notions, demystify sexuality, and help create a more conscious sex life.
How to
play?
In these games, you’ll explore various scenarios and statements about relationships and sexuality.
Draw a card and choose one of three responses: Yes if you agree, No if you disagree, or Let’s Talk if you’re unsure and want to discuss further.
Discuss your answers with the other players (or reflect on them if playing alone) to explore different perspectives and deepen your understanding. Arrange the cards on the table according to your choices.
By the end of the game, you’ll have a visual map of your preferences and boundaries, helping you design relationships that truly align with your values and desires.
Who to play with?
Play with anyone you want to explore these topics with - whether it’s romantic or sexual partners, or anyone with whom you wish to design intimate relationships of any kind.
​​
Suitable for new or long-standing relationships, whether monogamous or non-monogamous, as long as participants are willing to communicate openly!
​
You can also play with friends and family: These games help move beyond small talk and demystify conversations about love, sex, and relationships.
​
It’s also encouraged to play the games alone. This is a great opportunity to understand yourself better and discover what you want in your relationships, free from anyone else’s judgment.
Who created it?
My name is Mariana, and I’ve spent much of my life questioning why life - and especially relationships - are expected to fit a mold that doesn’t suit everyone.
​
As someone who isn’t particularly extroverted or naturally communicative, I recognized the need for practical and concise tools to facilitate discussions about relationships and sexuality.
So here they are!
​​
I’m a designer, and I developed this game in collaboration with psychologists and insights from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
