Couples is the theme you pull out on the couch, at the restaurant or on a road trip, as a pair or with other couples. These are not polite questions like “what matters most to you in our relationship”: they are blunt statements about jealousy, exes, money, routine and marriage, and you have to answer agree or disagree, right now.

This is where couples find out they disagree on things they had never talked about. And that is exactly the point. The opinions below are the ones published on this site for this theme; the app has many more, and Couples game: 60 opinions explains how to turn them into a proper game for two.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play these opinions as a couple?

One of you reads the opinion, each of you votes in secret (thumb up or down under the table), then you reveal at the same time. Count disagreements, not points: a disagreement gives each of you one minute to explain, no interrupting, then next card. Big topics get discussed again the next day.

Do these opinions work for a couple that just met?

Yes, starting with the lighter ones (flowers, Valentine’s Day, sleeping apart) and saving money and marriage for later. They already say a lot without adding pressure.

Where do the percentages come from?

From the real votes of Unpopular Opinions players: the share of “agree” out of all votes each opinion received. These are not the results of a representative poll; they are real votes from players, in large numbers.
