One thing's for sure. That girl has a lot to answer for.

A Suggestion

Actually I have to say that this game reminds me of my favourite game when I was a kid --

The Ungame

The Ungame is called that because it is a game in which there is no winning and no losing. In many ways, I think it fits with some of the goals of this forum.



It is about learning to communicate better, about the art of conversation. Learning how to listen, learning more about others, and ourselves. (Socrates: "Know thyself")

The questions range from silly, fun questions to serious ones. It's recommended by psychologists and people interested in alternative lifestyle as something that helps people to understand each other better.



The board is great - people roll the dice and move around the board, landing on places where they have to pick up from one of two decks of cards - each has a mix of serious and fun questions but one is predominantly serious and the other is predominantly fun (I forget which is which now).





Sometimes you get sent to the various locations on the board - the Cheerful Chalet, Fearful Forest, Impatient Island, Worry Wharf....



Well my suggestion is... perhaps we could take the daring out of it and make this Ungamish? Or even if we keep the daring - already so many of the questions remind me of the Ungame. It's already beginning to look like the Ungame, LOA Edition. Perhaps we could even somehow manifest a "board" and use the dice to go from place to place/or to pick up different cards? I think that would probably be much too ambitious...  but somehow I feel it would be great if we could use the dice, I really loved using them in the Sims game, which I hope to get a chance to participate in again (though I will be "foruming" less for a while).

Given that we don't have card decks, maybe we could use the dice to select serious or fun questions? Up to a certain number is fun and then serious?

I've found a list of Ungame questions here -

Please don't take offence to this anyone, I think everyone contributing to the game already is playing it perfectly and it's definitely getting people to know each other better, I just have been thinking about the Ungame a lot while reading through these posts and thought it could at least serve as further inspiration for us.


Further reading on what makes Ungame special though I guess no one will do more than skim it....

From Wikipedia:

Rhea Zakich, then a young mother from Garden Grove, California, was forced not to speak for months after her doctor found polyps on her vocal cords. Although the polyps were removed and she made a full recovery, the experience affected her: unable to speak for that long period, and afraid that the problem might return, she felt emotionally estranged from her family. This led her to the realization that, as she put it, "we all spend so much time talking... but we never really communicate."

As a remedy, she decided to write down on paper cards a number of questions that she wanted to ask her husband and children. Some were light-hearted ("What do you like to do in your spare time?"), some serious and intimate ("If you could live your life over, what would you change?"). Before long, with nearly 200 cards on her hands, she realized that she could turn them into a sort of board game.

She played it with her family, and the results were surprising: her husband revealed for the first time how frightened her illness made him; her son, a bright student, expressed how he hated the constant pressure to perform well in school; the other son talked about how his brother's constant teasing hurt him. At the end of the game session, her husband said: "I've learned more about all of you in these twenty minutes than in the past five years." It was the first time each family member really felt listened to and heard, since the game rules state that players can only talk on their turns.

Later, they let their neighbors borrow the game to play with their children; the oldest son took it to his school psychology class, and his teacher asked for copies. Soon, a company was founded by someone whose family was dramatically changed by playing The Ungame. The new Ungame Company began to produce and market it, and as their line expanded, it was renamed Talicor. In 2008, the sales topped 4 million in more than 14 languages. The Ungame was the first non-competitive learning/communication game on the market and has been used in schools, churches, businesses, counseling centers, hospitals, and prisons, as well as in families and party settings.

i'm always happy to play games that help us to bond and get to know each other

I've done it again!!
So, you may have read in one of my previous posts that I started a new job this week. To welcome me into the fold they took me to the pub for lunch today which the company paid for and which involved alcohol!

Ah, good you caught that one. Some would consider it camoflaged and not even notice the free drink amongst all the other free food.

A gift on your birthday.
