How to play together
This set of rules is inclusive and gender-neutral, so the players will be addressed using “they/them” pronouns.
A recommendation before the game starts: please remember that the well-being and safety of people that sit around the same table is more important than one’s individual enjoyment. The experience won’t be truly positive unless it is so for every person involved.
Some of the questions are taken directly from the web (and they have been selected for their cringe effect), so feel free to skip or discard from the game any content you may find problematic or distressing. In case of doubts, pausing the game and asking is always the best option. In the “print and play” files you will find empty templates of the cards: with these you can create new or substitutive versions of the cards.
