ESTHER PEREL Where Should We Begin? A Game of Stories - Conversation Cards for Couples & Friends - Interactive Couples Game with 200 Prompt Cards - 2-6 Player - Card Games for Couples & Date Night

Thought provoking

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.

This is a great idea bit took some time to get into. It made me feel a little uncomfortable at first but I think that's the point. Towards the end we were laughing our heads off. I bought it because I am going through marital difficulty. We have only played it once. I think would be better used around a table of good friends over a few bottles of wine.

My partner and I are big fans of Esther Perel and we were really looking forward to playing this game. We are a mature couple in a new relationship with past lives behind us. Maybe if we had been in a long term relationship with each other, it would have been different (because the reference points would have been our shared experience). But the cards with sexual content were frankly unseemly in a context of a new relationship. The questions they asked would have meant us revealing to each other inappropriate and unsettling sexual history at a time when we should be focussed on bonding. Of course if you want to hear detailed sexual revelations about past lovers and have the strength of character to be benchmarked against them (or you just don't care), then go right ahead. I'd be very cautious. I'm sorry to say the entire deck of cards went into the bin.
