ESTHER PEREL Where Should We Begin Game of Stories – Conversation Cards for Couples, Friends, & Co-Workers – Interactive Couples Game w/ 200 Prompt Cards – 2-6 Player Card Games for Couples

So much appreciation for Ester Perel!
This game is an absolute hit at the close social gatherings! The questions are diverse, engaging, thoughtful, and challenging. This is a high quality product. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to be more intentional with how they spend time with those around them. If you’re struggling with getting to know people, this is a great tool to engage everyone in sharing about themselves. This bypasses the small talk phase and takes you deeper. While the cost of this is higher than some alternatives on the market, this game is a standout among them all. It is not kid-friendly, so this is something to keep in mind.

Great game, wish it came with printed instructions.
I’ll start with my minor annoyance, which is that the instructions were not printed in the box, but rather are accessible via a QR code. Fine, at least while QR codes are still peak technology and someone is maintaining the Esther Perel website. But if I’m being sold a physical object, then the instructions should be physically with the item, especially since they could be needed years down the line. At least the instructions are pretty easy; one could just write then down.Otherwise, the game itself is a great concept and well-executed. I recently pulled it out at a party, and it was so well-received. It provides an opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level, where folks share stories, values, beliefs—deeper than ‘what do you do’ / ‘what have you been up to recently.’ At the same time it doesn’t put folks horribly on the spot or force them to share things beyond their comfort zone, as everyone can choose from multiple prompts.

Love this game
Love this game from Esther Perrel. Some questions are challenging even for us being married for so long. It is not cheap but it’s worth it. From time to time I take some questions again. It is good for people who are just starting and for people who have been in a relationship for a while even many years, the stories we make are helpful, because we all have stories. I would recommend the game. it’s worth starting or saving a relationship.

A game for laughter, flirting and getting to know you
I’ve used this game on dates, snuggled in bed with a lover, pulling cards from each other’s hands like a private game of tarot. Pre-selecting cards for the stack so we can ask each other the questions we were too shy to ask outright. “What do you think of marriage?” “what’s a fantasy you’ve never shared”I’ve used this game at business meetings, 12 hour whirlwind strategy workshops aimed at getting to know one another and getting answers in record time. Pulling out the racy cards and stacking the deck with questions that will help a client reveal their persona & put language to challenges we might face together in the future “my biggest power struggle is with…”And I’ve used the game at dinner parties, questions tucked under plates at the start of the night, to open the meal with something a little deeper than “hi, hello, what do YOU do.”It’s a salve for the introverts and a fun way to go a bit deeper for those of us a bit allergic to vulnerability — just stack the deck in favor of the vibe you want, break the rules, and play the game as it was intended (to connect) vs. as it was written.

As a long-time admirer of Esther Perel’s work, I was eager to try out the “Where Should We Begin Game of Stories”, and it did not disappoint. The questions are thoughtfully crafted, leading to engaging and meaningful conversations. The game offers flexibility with suggested modes of play or the option to create your own rules.My partner and I have enjoyed playing this game with friends on numerous occasions. It never fails to spark interesting stories and deepen our connections with each other. It has quickly become one of our favorite ways to bond and spend quality time together. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their relationships and foster deeper connections with loved ones.

A truly amazing game that not only allows you to explore and connect on a deeper level with people you decide to play with, but also opens the channels to your own better self-understanding.
