About the Event
The competitive conversation card game for people who crave deeper connection.
Flirty, funny, and sometimes a little too real, Taste Buds is designed to spark unforgettable stories, spicy confessions, and magnetic moments between friends, strangers, or something in-between. Think We’re Not Really Strangers meets Monopoly Deal and Fluster.
This locally created card game from Victoria was created as a way to help young adults build real connections, not just small talk. Whether you’re making new friends, deepening relationships, or lighting a spark, Taste Buds gets you there faster.
