A great game with the right group. We've only played it twice since we got it but they were both very memorable and brought the group I played it with much closer together. Well worth it to play even once (though hopefully you'll play much more than that!) The mechanics help you get deep in an entirely safe and non-threatening way. And the art is wonderful. I bought it for that alone. But the game is so much more than that.

Really a wonderful game. Beautiful art, thoughtful design, and absolutely leads to meaningful, thought-provoking conversations.

Very pleased with the original game and the new cards did not disappoint either !

A new favorite with friends and family.

What a brilliant way to welcome conversation. Thank you for putting so much love into this game guys!
