Vertellis Family Edition | Thoughtful Conversation Starters for Families | Family Card Games for Communication Building | Icebreaker Game Created for Parents and Their Children by Vertellis

Great engagement

Answer fun and serious questions that allow each member of the family to get into the conversation. Vertellis

In developing their series of family games, Vertellis had an interesting idea: Find addictive and informative techniques to engage each other in meaningful conversation. Learn each family better by asking and answering a series of thoughtful questions and enjoying their answers. For example: “If you could create a new tradition within your family, what would it be?” “What has been a recent happy memory with your parents?” (The answer to both could be “creating family time together.”) In this game, there are no losers.
