Fair Play

Eve Rodsky

Eve Rodsky’s "Fair Play" card game offers a practical way for couples to uncover and address the imbalance of household responsibilities. By creating a deck of 100 cards divided into five categories—Home, Out, Caregiving, Magic, and Wild—partners can visualize the full scope of domestic tasks. Each category highlights specific duties, from daily chores and caregiving to creating joyful moments and managing major life events. Once the cards are assigned to the person who typically handles each task, couples gain a clearer understanding of their current division of labor. This process not only fosters awareness but also lays the foundation for a more equitable partnership, encouraging both partners to share responsibilities fairly and value each other’s contributions equally.
