How to Start Playing Happiness

Sort your Happiness Deck

We suggest sorting to 60 for two to six players of Happiness.

10 Bummers
15 Joycards worth 1 Joypoint
15 Joycards worth 2 Joypoints
15 Joycards worth 3 Joypoints
5 Joycards worth 4 Joypoints

Either randomly select to sort or spend some time customizing your Happiness deck by reviewing each Joycard for each Joypoint category. Once you have your sorted 60 Happiness deck, mix and shuffle. Now, you are ready to play Happiness. Share, listen and connect with Happiness.

How It Works

Every card is a prompt. Every turn is a conversation.

Stress Free

Tell Your Story

Play a card and share a memory or idea connected to its word. Every turn is a conversation.

Ribbing

Strategic Placement

Match colored triangles to build on the grid and score Joypoints. Position matters.

A Burden

The Ultimate Bummer

A Bummer can only be played when connecting and within the 5 seconds of silence between turns. Share a bummer story, then sweep every card it touches. One Bummer can clear a whole section.

Dreams

Euphoria

When 4 cards surround one card, sweep and collect all 5 connected Joycards. Their Joypoints are added at the end of the game. The most satisfying moment in the game.
