S’morgasboard: A Game of Sticky Questions, Delicious Conversation, and Building Common Ground

Museum of Sticks & Stones (MoSS) is on a mission to bring people together by fostering understanding through art, play, conversation, experiences, conversation, history, & education. We believe that by exploring the complexities of human behaviour—particularly challenging topics like hate—we can create meaningful opportunities to build common ground.

Where It All Began

One day, we got bored. We wanted something that combined our love for conversation with a bit of playful competition. That’s when S’morgasboard was born—a game of sticky questions and delicious debates, designed for two or more players. It’s a game that challenges you to think, question, and connect.

What’s in the Box

  • 60 cards, including 6 Sprinkle cards
  • A mix of question cards designed to spark debates, laughter, and reflection

How It Works

S’morgasboard is a card game with a delicious twist:

  • Players build s’mores by collecting ingredient cards: two cookies, one chocolate, and one marshmallow.
  • To earn these cards, players answer thought-provoking questions—designed to spark discussions and challenge perspectives.

Here’s the tasty twist:

  • Cookies are the easiest to earn, with light, ice-breaking questions to ease everyone into the game.
  • Chocolate cranks things up a bit, offering questions that dive into personal values and thought-provoking dilemmas.
  • Marshmallows are the stickiest! These cards tackle polarising societal and cultural topics, sparking debates that get everyone thinking critically and empathetically.

The goal is to stack all four ingredients to complete your s’more, but the real fun is in the journey—connecting, sharing perspectives, and discovering something new about the people around you.

Add Some Fun with Sprinkle Cards:

We know that sometimes, the best way to keep a conversation lively is to sprinkle in a little fun. That’s where our Sprinkle cards come in. These wild cards encourage you to get creative, with prompts like interpretive dance, pirate speak, or singing your argument. Who can stay angry when someone’s passionately defending their opinion with a catchy rhyme or a silly dance? It's all about lightening the mood while keeping the conversation meaningful and entertaining.

Introducing the Family and Lover Versions

To make sure S’morgasboard works for every gathering, we’re introducing two exciting new expansions to the game: the Family edition and the Lovers edition.

The Family version is packed with questions suitable for all ages, making it perfect for family game nights or any time you’re looking for a fun, thought-provoking way to bring everyone together. Expect lively discussions, lots of laughter, and a whole lot of bonding over s’mores.

For those seeking something a little more intimate, the Lovers version offers questions that spark deeper conversations between couples, partners or close connections. . It’s perfect for date nights, offering playful debates that help strengthen connections and invite new ways of thinking—because who says deep conversations can’t be fun?

A Game with a Purpose

More than just a card game, S’morgasboard is a way to support a cause. Proceeds from the game go toward MoSS’ ongoing work to combat hate and build common ground. At MoSS, we are committed to helping people engage in tough conversations—those that open minds, soften hearts, and lead to understanding.

By playing S’morgasboard, you’re not only having a blast with your friends, family, or partner—you’re contributing to our mission of creating a more humane world.
