Cordel Play
A consent-first social board game
for private groups.
Premium adult social play built around intentional connection, shared agency, and escalating card-based experiences. For private groups of two to eighteen players.
The Game
Designed for intentional play.
Cordel Play is a premium adult social board game where players move across a board of action squares and draw from six escalating tier decks as the session builds. Each session is shaped by the players in it — not by a fixed script.
Decree cards allow any player to skip or redraw at any time. Consent is built into the game structure, not handled separately. When an activity needs another participant, the Consent Cup lets interested players opt in privately — no public refusal required. See the full Consent Architecture page.
