Like all great ideas, Khalbali wasn't born in a boardroom. It started over brunch, where one drink turned into two, two turned into "let's order another round," and somewhere between solving all of life's problems and making promises we'd definitely forget the next morning, the three of us decided getting matching tattoos was a fantastic idea. That brunch accidentally became the start of something much bigger than we could've imagined.

We'd always been the friends who took game nights a little too seriously. Every birthday, house party, holiday, or random Tuesday somehow ended with us pulling out cards, making up ridiculous rules, and trying to outdo each other. Nothing out there felt quite right, so we made our own.

It started as a game we threw together for a birthday because we were bored of playing the same old drinking games. Messy, chaotic, completely unserious, never meant to leave that party. But every time we brought it out, people wanted to play. They stayed longer, laughed louder, and by the end of the night, someone always asked where they could buy a copy. So we stopped making it just for our friends, and started making it for everyone.
