How accurate are your translations?
Instead of relying on a single translator, company, or service, we work with ~10 native speakers on average along with their loved ones to meticulously trans-create each card from English into another language.
This process takes a minimum of 6-8 months per language, with hundreds of combined hours spent to ensure that the nuances of each language are honored, that people from every relevant & major geographic location review the translations to make sure locals can understand, and every detail like the font, line breaks, and word spacing are the best possible choice.
We work with family teams so each prompt has been play-tested in a real dynamic between loved ones.
When you receive this deck, know that it is a token of love from many other families from your beloved culture.
We believe we have some of the best, most natural translations in the world. Feel free to preview any of our games in their entirety before purchasing by downloading one of our digital decks.

Sometimes we are so busy growing up we forget our parents are growing old.
We created a card game to get closer to our loved ones while we still can.
It opens up even the most reserved dads.
"I found out what my dad favorite food was growing up. That dude is the hardest layers to peel so the fact that I got something out of him that’s amazing."

A Personal Mission ❤️🩹
For the last few years, the most important priority in my life has been healing the broken & distant relationship I had with my immigrant parents for over twelve years.
I co-created Parents Are Human to get to know my Mom and Dad before it was too late, and to help you do the same.
My Parents Hand Pack Each Order With the Utmost Love & Care 🤲
I hired my mom, Mary Lam, and dad, Francis Lam after they retired early due to covid and other health complications.
They now hand-pack and deliver all our orders to the post office each day, sending you our love and warmest wishes.
