Small, irrational, non-negotiable
The Ick: small dealbreakers everyone secretly has.
Chinwag The Ick is an 18+ deck of small irrational dealbreakers, from double-texting to narrating your own actions, for arguing about pet peeves nobody can fully justify.
When it works
Give the room an easy first move.
Use The Ick once the room is comfortable enough to admit an opinion has no logic behind it. It works best as pure venting, not a real complaint about anyone present.
How to play this deck
Read one card aloud and let everybody agree or defend the behaviour at once. The best answers admit the ick makes no sense and own it anyway.
The room stays in control.
No aiming a card at somebody in the room and no turning a joke into a real dig. Every card is about a stranger's habit, not a housemate's or a partner's. Anyone can pass without explaining why.

- Hot take: replying with just “k” ends more friendships than actual arguments
- Would you rather sit next to someone who claps at the cinema or someone who narrates the film?
- Most likely to say we should catch up and never actually catch up
- Tell us: what tiny habit instantly gives you the ick
- Hot take: double texting within five minutes proves it was never urgent
