Funny phone and TV accusations for couples
Watching the next episode alone, texting from the next room and 47 photos of the same sunset. These cards are for couples whose phones know more than they do.
11 cards
Tap a card to send it to your partner. They get a hand of five excuses: the three below, written for that card, plus two random wildcards from the deck. Then you decide whether to believe them.

You sent me a message from the next room instead of speaking.- I didn't want to disturb the silence between us.
- The message needed a paper trail.
