The family behind it

SUSSED started at our own kitchen table. We wanted a game that got people talking without a rulebook, so we wrote silly questions on index cards and made the family guess our answers. The guessing stuck.

The scribbled cards grew into printed decks: five colors, each written for a different table. We still play the same way we did back then, and every question in the box got tested on relatives before it earned its spot. The ones that started arguments stayed. The polite ones went in the bin.

The decks sit on the shelves of a large retail partner, which is where the buttons on this site lead. Their checkout takes the order and their drivers bring the box. What stays with us is the game itself: the questions, the colors and these pages.

Paper reaches us at 212 S Fourth Ave, Suite 3, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. That address is a mailbox and a work table, not a storefront. There is no counter and no shelf of boxes waiting, so a visit would only find us arguing over question drafts.

Something to say about the game? Say it to our faces.
