No Filters. No Small Talk. Just Real gist.

The card game that unlocks closeness one question at a time.

When we created gist: THE GAME, we weren’t just making a card game: we were creating a space. A space for real conversations, for laughter that makes your belly hurt, for confessions you never thought you’d share, and for moments that remind you why your people are your people.

We spent hours around tables, on living room floors, and in noisy restaurants, asking the kind of questions that bring us closer. The kind that force you to pause, reflect, and truly see the people around you for who they are. Some questions made us laugh until we cried. Some answers hit too deep. And some moments? Unforgettable.

This game is for you: the ones who love hard, who argue passionately, who cherish connection, and who aren’t afraid to gist for real.

So, shuffle the deck, open your heart, and let the conversations flow. Who knows? You might just learn something new, about your people, and maybe even yourself.

With love,

Two gist Partners

  • A couple enjoying a playful pillow fight on a bed, smiling and laughing.

    We met

    The vibe was instant, but from early on, we knew we didn’t just want chemistry. We wanted connection.

  • A black and white photo of a happy couple sharing a laughter, with the woman holding a cup.

    We Got Curious

    We started asking each other real questions, nothing surface. The kind that make you pause, reflect, and say, “wait… no one’s ever asked me that before.”

  • A woman in a satin-slip dress gently touching the chin of a smiling man lying down.

    We Played Card Games

    Some were cute, some deep, but none felt like us. So we’d switch up the questions, add a little cultural sauce, and tailor the game to our truths.

  • Three people, two women and one man, smiling and engaging with each other in a social setting, with wooden furniture in the background.

    We Got Engaged (and Went Even Deeper)

    Before we said “I do,” we gisted hard. We brought out the deep questions—about fears, expectations, how we handle conflict, and what forever really looks like.

  • Two people, one in a suit and tie and the other in a white dress, are showing their rings towards the camera.

    We Faced Challenging Stuff

    Like many people, we’ve both had challenges with family, friends, work and life. And in those tough seasons, the questions we asked each other became our anchor.

  • A family of four, including a woman, man, and two young children, taking a selfie in a mirror in a living room.

    Parenthood Changed Everything

    When baby number two came along, we needed new ways to stay close, through the exhaustion, the shifting roles, and the learning curves. The gist kept us grounded.

  • A black and white photograph of a bride and groom outdoors, facing each other with the bride smiling, during a wedding celebration.

    We Keep the Gist Alive

    Even now, when we feel a disconnect or need to check in, we pull out questions. Not just for the deep stuff, but for the laughs, the intimacy, the rediscovery.

  • Group of people at a celebration, smiling, dancing, and holding drinks at a lively party.

    Now We're Sharing It With You

    Because we saw what real conversation can do. We wanted our friends, our people, our communities to feel that too. So we made gist: The Game.

    A card game that doesn’t just entertain: it connects. Not just gist for now. Gist for always.
