Lots of fun for ALL ages (yes even kids)Aug 30, 2007 My kids (10, 8, 5) LOVE this game. They mostly love it for the stories that my husband and I end up telling, it is a great way for them to learn a bit about our past and who we are. We are also quite interested in the responses our children have to the cards. If they ever draw a card that doesn't apply, they just pick up a different one.
Here are some sample questions: Where was a special place you liked to play as a child? Tell about one of the best gifts you have ever received? Tell about a famous person you have met? Thumb wrestle with the person across from you. What is your favorite time of year and why? Recall a time when you got into trouble at school? Tell about a time when you helped someone. Describe one of the worst weather conditions which you have been in.
And so on.
We've lost the game board, but still pull this game out and just grab a card and start talking.
Now I haven't actually tried to get my kids to play this with their friends, in part because we've lost the game board, but overall, this is an excellent game for bringing families closer and sharing family stories and history.

Family tie builderMay 26, 2007 This little game really gave our family a chance to reconnect. It was the first time we had sat down to play a game in a long while, we have teens. It was very positive and improved communication without working at it.

Fun for all agesMar 19, 2007 The best part of this game is the conversations. Whether you are playing with adults or children, your friends and relatives or people you barely know,you will love the stories. The only difficulty is putting it away. I have taken the game to restuarants and played while we waited for our orders...the wait staff joined in the fun. When there isn't time for a game, just pull out the cards and share your stories.

Great IcebreakerFeb 01, 2007 I've enjoyed playing this game with people from around the world- it seems to work best with a group of people who haven't been hanging out together since childhood. It gets people talking and makes for an evening of all sorts of interesting stories- and you get to find out what interesting people your friends are!

Sharing lives - an everyone is a winner! Jan 06, 2007 When you share your life with others, you will always receice - and this is the first game I have come across, where you are garanteed to be celebrated as a winner at the end, too! The cards of the game can also be used separately to start conversations in a party: Just put 2 of them under the plate, and ask the guests to answer one of them. We have tried it!
