Our Story

The Opera Games team consists of a group of friends and board-game fans. We came up with the idea for Coupling while playing Party games (such as Activity, Cards Against Humanity, Drinkopoly, etc.). We were constantly running into the same issues – either an argument broke out between teammates, or we just played the game all evening and ended up feeling kind of empty, often going home without having talked and not really connecting with each other. While we were entertained, what we were really missing were the most important aspects of meaningful socializing: encouraging interesting conversations, getting to know your teammates (in a deeper way), and ultimately genuine entertainment. So, we set out to make a game that includes exactly that.
