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

I bought this product as a birthday gift for my best friend, who listens to Esther Perel’s podcast and loves playing games with her husband. She absolutely loved it! She and her husband really enjoyed playing the game and learning more about each other. She said the game is very easy to learn and the cards help spark a lot of fun and interesting conversations. The product is very high quality overall, and the cards are durable. The game is very compact, making it ideal for travel, and it can be played with players of all ages, making it perfect for gatherings of family and friends. It’s a great value for the price. I plan to buy it for my family for Christmas!

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.

Excellent game to have fun and build connection

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.

This game is great. I opted for this version since the box is more portable and this one included dice to mix it up. Honestly, we rethrow the dice often because I don’t care what my teen self would have to say about anything. This is a great conversation starter- you learn things about your partner you would have never thought to ask! This is a great deck to pull out during date night and the dice make it more repeatable. Excellent gift for any couple- but mostly for you and yours!

Great questions! Thought provoking and interesting and color coded to give you the option of different questions for different crowds. Sturdy cards, well designed. Fun and easy to use.

This resource is highly beneficial for individuals seeking to connect with new people, as well as for those dealing with identity crises and PTSD. It serves as an effective mental health tool in the healing process.

Great idea. The problem is that the card content is not what I thought it would be by the pictures and description on Amazon. 1/3 of the cards are great content and innocent. 1/3 are in the middle. 1/3 are inappropriate and do not foster that types of values that I was expecting.

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.

Excellent

The box was was damaged from one end, for such an expensive such quality is unacceptable
