OVERVIEW

How to Play

THERE IS NO WINNER in the traditional sense, as the goal is personal growth and emotional exploration.
Alternatively, players can earn points for participating or successfully expressing emotions.

Step 1

Drawing Cards

Player One starts by drawing one card from each deck: an Emotion Card and an Action Card.
Example: Draws “Sad” (Emotion) and “Share a time you felt this way” (Action).
Step 2

Engaging With Cards

The player reads the Emotion aloud and then completes the prompt on the Action card (e.g., sharing a personal experience, acting out the emotion, etc.).
Step 3

Group Interaction

Other players can provide feedback, validation, or empathy based on what Player 1 shares, helping to build emotional understanding in a group dynamic.
Players can also share similar experiences or emotions they’ve had.
Step 4

Continue Playing

The next player repeats the process by drawing two new cards from the respective decks.
Rotate through the group, allowing each player to explore different emotions and scenarios.

Debrief

At the end of the game, players can discuss what they learned about their emotions and others’ feelings.
Optional:
Option to reflect on strategies for handling tough emotions or difficult scenarios in the future.
