Reviews mention

  • Well-designed card visuals
  • Sturdy tactile cards
  • Eclectic crowdsourced prompts
  • Effective icebreaker conversations
  • Difficult-to-open box
  • Vague rulebook instructions
  • Occasionally abrasive prompts
  • Limited card quantity

I AM ON EDGE reviews state the game works as an effective icebreaker and conversation starter, delivering witty, crowd-sourced prompts that spark candid, often intense discussions; reviewers praise its striking design and sturdy cards but repeatedly note the box is difficult to open and the rules/‘reverse’ mechanics can be vague. This makes it a strong pick for groups who want provocative, shareable moments, but buyers who need clear instructions or gentler prompts should expect to skip cards or adapt gameplay.

  • Fun game, kind of like cards against humanity vibes. Good for family / friends but maybe awkward if you don’t know the people you play with well.

    Feedback

    Maybe nicer box / bigger cards if you want to charge $25. I probably would have not bought it full price to be honest as it seems pricy for quality. But I also haven’t bought these sort of games in a while so maybe that’s the going rate these days??

  • Nice packaging. The game is fine, a nice, one time thing to play with my spouse. I could see a lot of the cards not working for various groups.

  • Having played similar question card games in the past, this one was a lot of fun! The unique elements of having the questions sometimes be about people in the room, reverse cards, and 2 options for questions made it a fun time. While less serious that some other games, we were all laughing while playing.

  • I got the I Am On Edge cards from Thing Drop and I played it very briefly with my partner. I like the card design and how compact it is, this is a card game that I would probably want to play when meeting people for the first time and something I will use to break the ice with folks! I think the card questions are not that bad and some of them are definitely a little more risque per say, but I like games that help people break out of their comfort zone!

  • Funny prompts, great for long car rides/ ice breakers/hangout with friends/conversation starters!

  • Let me start off by saying that I love the premise of this game - asking deep and personal questions to get to know yourself and your friends better? Amazing! I overall like the broad range of prompts - that said, this game isn't lying about the 'on edge' part; there were quite a few cards that I ended up skipping because they didn't quite work with the groups of people I was with. I also didn't intuitively understand the game mechanics of how to use the 'reverse' cards, so ended up just playing it as I would a different social card game, such as WNRS.

  • Most of the cards have fun questions, but quite a few are the chaotic-friendship-ending types. Which works for some folks.

    It feels caught in between wanting to be a game and just a set of question cards. Some are challenges, and others are questions.

  • Fun game to play to brea the ice or when drinking/in a party situation.

  • Absolutely love this game! I had some people over for some drinks and food, it was my first time really spending time with them. I was worried about how to break the ice, so I decided to try this game out over some wine. Let me just say that it worked like a charm! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a laugh or just interesting conversations with others.

  • Love this game! Sturdy elegant packaging. A really new kind of game that is entertaining and challenging! Playing this game has created some fun and insightful moments. I think this game should be in everyone's staple for a fun game night.

  • Great game! Really put me and my friends "on edge"!!! I was getting sick of all of the other drinking card games out there and really needed something new. Great game. Will be buying more for friends and family!

    Feedback

    I think if you add an expansion deck it could be cool. Another idea could be if somehow you could make your own deck with your own pictures to go with some of the cards!

  • The questions are wonderful and great for getting to know new or old friends on a deeper level - excellent conversation starters which always makes things more interesting!

  • I am on edge is really the first conversation starter game I've ever brought along with me to places because it's fun and eclectic. The crowdsourced questions are perfect and random, making it a truly fun experience without the awkwardness of 'cards against humanity' or the cringe of 'we're not really strangers'.

    Feedback

    Love this game, and it never gets old because the prompts are so open ended! Only improvement would be to release a second edition in the future or an expansion pack.

  • such a fun new way to connect with a group of friends/strangers!! these questions end up in meaningful, long conversations to break the ice or delve deeper into friendships.
