Short Party Games for Intelligent People.

  • I don’t like games that come down to dice rolls or blind luck. IQ should win.

  • I don’t like games with a million rules that take all day to play.

  • Lastly, I’m not trying to become a game hoarder. I want one deck for every occasion.

Cards With Socrates is a collection of short, clever card games designed for people like me.

It’s my way of bonding with others — while also demonstrating my mental dominance :)

A Growing Collection

Cards With Socrates is not a single card game, but rather a growing collection of smart games.

As we create new games we will add them to this site so that you always have fresh party games to play with your intelligent friends.

This is a purchase that grows in value over time—I knew you were a smart one.

Play the games below for free with a standard deck during play testing using the password “socrates”. After launch you will use the password in your box to access the rules.
