A few things before you start.
Can we play without a campfire?
Yes. These are seated conversation cards, with no fire, night walk, wildlife activity, or equipment challenge. Use them in daylight, at a cabin table, or during a stationary break.
Do Letter and A4 contain the same prompts?
Yes. Both sizes include all 24 cards and the same host notes, with layouts sized for their own paper. Download the matching file, print single-sided at 100% / Actual size, and test a page before the full set.
Do we have to finish the whole deck?
No. Use one card, a chosen group, or a short round. Stop at the agreed point or whenever people would rather move on. Passing needs no explanation.
