This Is Why You’re Single: A Bold, Hilarious Card Game Created for Women, by Women

When the team at Open Deck Games set out to create This Is Why You’re Single, their mission was clear: design a card game that brings women together through laughter, honesty, and unforgettable moments. Whether at brunch, on a bachelorette trip, during a girls’ night in, or out at the bar, this deck was crafted to spark conversations, joy, and connection—every single time.

A Game That Turns Real Life into Real Fun

This Is Why You’re Single wasn’t built to be just another party game. It was made intentionally, thoughtfully, and with heart.

“We created this game because laughter really is the best medicine,” the team shared. “Women carry so much—they deserve something that feels genuinely fun.”

Every question and prompt in the deck is crafted by women, for women, ensuring that each card feels relatable, clever, and fresh. There are no filler cards, no weak prompts, and no boring moments—just smart, intentional questions guaranteed to get a reaction whether you’re single, taken, or somewhere confusingly in between.

Designed to Feel Good, Play Great, and Look Beautiful

The team used Adobe, Illustrator, and additional design programs to ensure every element of the deck was polished and professional. With guidance from a trusted designer, Open Deck Games brought their vision to life with a look and feel that matches the bold personality of the game itself.

“We had a great designer help us along the way—we owe him a lot!” they said.

A Rewarding Moment: Selling Their First Deck

As new creators, nothing compared to the moment they sold their first copy. “It was rewarding. Knowing that someone gets to experience your vision—and have a great night because of it—is priceless.”

The team poured endless hours into perfecting every question and card, making the positive reception even more meaningful.

The biggest challenge behind This Is Why You’re Single wasn’t the printing, design, or logistics—it was the writing. “We wanted every card to be meaningful,” they explained. “Perfecting the questions was the hardest part, but it was worth it.” Their commitment led to a deck filled entirely with intentional, impactful content—no repeats, fluff, or wasted space

Their Motto: Laughter Is the Best Medicine

This phrase isn’t just a tagline—it perfectly sums up what drives Open Deck Games. Every card in the deck reflects that playful, humorous, and uplifting mindset. “If you never try, you never know. Expect the unexpected and be willing to be a student along the way.”

Their message to new designers? Be brave, be curious, and trust the process.

Why They Chose Shuffled Ink
