Hidden Baggage: A Game for Couples

Unpack. Connect. Grow.

Hidden Baggage isn’t just a game—it’s a transformational experience for couples, friends, and families. Designed by Dr. Tahlib McMicheaux, this unique card-based journey helps you explore emotions, set boundaries, and build lasting intimacy through meaningful dialogue.

We all carry baggage—past experiences, fears, and unspoken feelings that can block connection. This game offers a safe and structured way to bring those into the light, so relationships can thrive.

What’s Inside the Box:

• Main Deck (66 cards): Thought-provoking questions around trust, communication, and relationship dynamics.

• Connection Deck (40 cards): Deep dives into emotional needs and desires.

• Experience Deck (40 cards): Reflective prompts on personal history and inner growth.

Each card is crafted to help you:

• Uncover hidden emotions

• Strengthen emotional intimacy

• Build empathy and understanding

• Create and maintain healthy boundaries

Why You'll Love It:

Whether you're in a long-term relationship or just starting out, Hidden Baggage creates opportunities for honesty, laughter, tears, and deeper connection. Think of it as relationship therapy in a box—engaging, sometimes uncomfortable (in the best way), and always meaningful.
