Connect: remember why you matter to one another

It is a fun game with some truly interesting questions that will make you think and definitely help you grow together.

Pretty good questions and conversation starters. Some of them are bit cheesy and over done but for the most part pretty good.

I’ve heard of the School of Life before and was intrigued and wanted to try one of their products.Likes:—The cards are good quality. They are pleasant to hold and they seem sturdy enough that they’ll last for a long time.—The die is good quality too.—The questions on the cards are excellent. I randomly picked out several in order to write this review. I think the questions are insightful and open-ended, encouraging people to talk about subjects that might not ever come up and/or are about tender and vulnerable topics. Sharing in a safe way (and the structure of this card game is likely to make sharing easier) with a safe person about tender subjects builds trust and closeness.—The bright orange is a great color for the outside of the box and for one of the five card colors. The dark blue-green and dark navy are great too. All three of these colors are easy to see on the die in low light.Dislikes:—This game is not inexpensive and, in my opinion, for what it costs, it needs to arrive in good condition. The outer box also needs to fit the cards. Unfortunately that didn’t happen with the box I received. The outer box lid arrived okay but it was made noticeably taller than the lower part of the outer box.—Similar to above, the inner “box” inserts (there are two for the dice - one nests inside the other) arrived bashed and torn. (They are worse than they appear in the photos.) I assume that happened during shipping (although the ill-fitting outer box sections must be a design flaw). I appreciate it if the company used card stock for the inner die boxes to avoid using molded plastic. However, in my opinion, the die box needs to be much sturdier to stand up to the weight of the cards during shipping. Maybe a solid, 6-sided box instead of a folded 5-sided insert?—I’m not fond of the faded colors that were used for two of the card colors (the light yellow-green and the light gray-purple). They’re easy enough to see on the larger cards but those colors are hard to see on the small hearts on the die in low light. Brighter colors would be easier to distinguish on the die — or else reverse the pattern and have the hearts white and the sides of the die colored so it’s easier to distinguish one color from another.Suggestions for the company:—Besides changing colors or patterns out to make the die more visible, I suggest redesigning the bottom of the outer box (so it’s the same height as the lid) and redesigning the inner boxes that hold the die so they aren’t damaged in packing or shipping.Finally:Because of how the die boxes arrived, I do not recommend buying this game as a gift. I was unhappily surprised when I opened the box to see that much damage to the appearance. No one wants to send a gift that seems likely to arrive damaged. It’ll be great for my husband and I to use. However I won’t buy additional sets for our kids as I had planned.Highly recommended, however, to use personally. I think it will lead to some wonderful conversations.

I didn’t realize that this was for couples initially (I did not read the description closely enough) and my beloved passed away young, so for me this is a one person game where I roll the die, look at the color of heart on the side facing up, and choose a card from that color set. Then I answer the card as if he were still here, and usw my imagination for what his answer would be.I think you could use many of these cards for friendships as well, and I’m looking forward to trying that.The game is compact (portable for travel) and consists of a small box, a die with colored hearts for the pips, and a small deck of cards color-coded to the hearts on the die. It’s made well. The box is nicely designed and the cards are smooth, good quality paper.I would like to have seen a few more cards and the world is full of questions that foster intimacy.I’m not sure the die is needed, because you could shuffle the cards and select one randomly, and then the questions would not have to fit into six categories, opening up a world of possibilities.Since I am a person who learns best from examples, a page or booklet (or website) showcasing some meaningful examples might be helpful. Your mileage on that suggestion might vary.Overall, a nice, little deck that ai’ve enjoyed while wishing for a little more content.

What a wonderful compact little box of amazingness! We are coming up on our 24th wedding anniversary in a few months. We know being married this long takes making choices and a LOT of hard work! I have always enjoyed conversation starters. They help kick start things when your brain is exhausted from kiddos and work all day... it helps!This lovely little box is very organized and clear to use. The sweet color coordinated symbols match the colors of the cute little cards. It gives another random dimension to the game. We have enjoyed answering our own cards or both answering one card. We just go with the flow of where the conversation takes us. The quality is outstanding! I believe this will last a long time.I believe this is a wonderful birthday or anniversary gift or a just because I am thinking about you gift!highly recommend
