PLAY IS VOLUNTARY
Players do not have to play every card drawn or prompt asked. Players can redraw, say “Pass” to decline, and “Come back to me” for more time to think about the card. Players can at any point exit gameplay or choose to sit out a round.
PLAY AS YOURSELF
Answer questions honestly and play out prompts as yourself. You can roleplay as someone else if you choose, but this should be disclosed at the beginning of play.
BE VULNERABLE
Open up and be vulnerable, this encourages others to be vulnerable as well. However, do not force anyone to talk about something they aren’t ready to talk about.
BE FULLY PRESENT
Give the other players your full attention and put phones away. Practice active listening while others talk, rather than using that time to think of your own answer.
TAKE YOUR TIME
Explore the many possible facets of a Situation or Topic Prompt, follow them to the past, the present, or a possible future, explore the mundane or fantastic. Let conversation flow naturally from the prompts, ask questions of each other beyond the prompts, give each other feedback, and embrace the tangents. When there is a break in conversation, you will know it is time to move on.
BE EXCELLENT
TO EACH OTHER
And party on, fools…
