From the moment you start playing, deep discussions start flowing naturally that most likely would not happen on their own. The hour was up so fast that we decided to play another round or two because we were enjoying it so much.

Big shout out to Phil from Know Thyself. I had a self created logistical problem when ordering the game. From start to finish, Phil was responsive, kind and efficient while helping me resolve my issue. Phil is a prime example of what good customer service should be.

This game is a uniquely beautiful piece of art designed not only to help you understand who you are and how we all relate, but to be able to listen, hear, and see each other just a bit more clearly.

I've been going through a lot of grief lately, as I know most of are. Sometimes its really hard to see clearly outside of how heavy the emotions of the heart can be.
Sometimes, being able to see a reminder of yourself in these archetypes, which we all share both within and in each other can be just the right amount of light to be able to see how wonderful you can be if it wasn't for the weight of the world, or at least your perception of how you think it sees you back.

Radical honesty, communication, truth, and understanding are hard to do these days, but this game makes it easy.

Know yourself, know your friends, know strangers.
Know Love.

The artwork is beautiful

I wanted a gift that would actually bring my wife and our family closer — Know Thyself did that and then some. From the moment we opened the box we could tell this wasn’t your typical party game. The artwork is beautiful, the rules are elegantly simple, and that little pledge you take before you start? Pure magic — it shifts the room and makes honest conversation feel safe and playful.

This game guides you into meaningful exchanges without ever feeling forced. We had moments of laughter, tears, and surprising new understanding — real connection that lasts past the last card. It’s perfect for families who want to go deeper, couples who want to reconnect, friends who want substance over small talk, or even as a warm, thoughtful party activity.

Phil is a standout creator — responsive, friendly, and clearly cares about the experience he’s built. If you want a game that’s spiritually nourishing, well-crafted, and genuinely transformative in how you relate to the people around you, buy Know Thyself. Thank you, Phil — this belongs in every home.

I was curious about this, so I bought it to see if the concept matched up with the potential that the idea suggested that it could be. I was dubious, but it really does. I am a psychotherapist by profession, and I work a lot as a relationship therapist. One of the problems that I encounter is how to encourage people to stimulate ways of thinking that promote deep relational connection. I can prompt a different approach to engaging, but there is often a hesitancy around what subjects to raise; a natural reluctance to be truly vulnerable. I find using these cards to be really helpful in prompting a new openness which, in turn, tends to create conditions of mutual trust and understanding.

I have also used the "game" with friends and family and every time, and without fail, the process creates connection, self-reflection and develops relational understanding. It has been an absolute boon with my older teenaged children who told me that they feel seen, understood and respected as a result of the experience.

I have not used it working with groups yet, but I am keen to try; the opportunity that Know Thyself gives for honest yet respectful feedback that helps an individual to really, well, "know themself" more accurately and more fully.

I think this is a game-changing product that deserves to be in every home, and has potential in therapy and business settings too.
