Some very good questions for teens and adults alike,
I like most of the questions in this boxed card game, which i bought for long car trips this summer. Some of the questions are too “advanced” for my 13 year old, so i took them out of the deck we’ll use this summer. I like the 2-deck format (one for quick responses, one for longer, more thoughtful responses). Can create an atmosphere of non-judgemental values exchange…depending on the parent and the kid(s). Very portable. The reason i didn’t offer a 5-star is about 20% of the cards have the phrase “Ask one player a question” which is annoying because the reason i bought the cards was to have a “list” of questions for my teen that are NOT my questions. I think 5% would be acceptable to me. Also, the cards are rather small; i would prefer the size of playing cards.

Great therapy ice breaker,
I love the ungame. I have used all different versions of it in my work with children and families and it is a great tool for creating comfort and conversation in sessions with new clients or those who don’t have much to say. The questions range from benign to thought proviking but the therapist always has the opportunity to ask the client to elaborate on their answer for more info or to encourage insight. I like to participate in the game with my clients while using personal judgement on how much I reveal about myself. Great buy. Teens version can be used with young adults as well.

Great Way to Open Discussions With Teens,
I teach social skills to high school students with emotional disturbance/learning disabilities. Most of my students are guys who don’t like to talk about their feelings, however, this was a game students would readily choose to play. The questions opened the doors to many open and frank discussions with them, and gave us opportunity to talk about socially appropriate behavior/choices. If I had a particular topic that I wanted to cover, I would pull cards that centered around that topic and have the kids really teach each other with them; all I had to do was guide the discussion and keep them focused. I like this game so much, I brought it home this summer to play with my own teenaged daughters.
