As the product page describes, with these cards, "The game guarantees that the warmest, most fascinating conversations won't have to be left to chance." The game consists of a black dice that is labeled to coincide with five different categories, including: career, sex, money, relationships and family. There are over 100 cards included in the deck, which will ask questions like: "If you were braver, what would you be doing with your life?" While some answers may be uncomfortable to share, the group card game is all about strengthening bonds with others by being open to expressing vulnerability.
