How to play it?

The game can be played by 2 or more people, typically with families or groups of friends. It works for all ages, including children and adults, though the complexity of the questions can vary depending on the age group. If you're using cards, place them face down in a pile. You can prepare the cards yourself or buy ready made online. Or you can think of questions on the spot and you do not need any cards or books. If you're using a book or list of questions, it’s passed around or placed in a central location. The players take turns drawing a card or selecting a question from the list or book. The person who draws the card or selects the question reads it aloud to the group. Everyone takes a moment to think about the question and then answers in turn, either one by one or openly, depending on the group’s preference. Each player answers the question honestly and thoughtfully. If the question is open-ended or hypothetical (like "What would you do if you could fly?"), players are encouraged to share personal thoughts or creative ideas. Players can elaborate on their answers, telling stories or discussing their perspectives on the question.
