Packed with hundreds of provoking conversation prompts, Where Should We Begin is a stimulating game you can only win at. Esther Perel, an internationally respected expert on relationships, got the idea during the global pandemic as a way to foster connection “in a time,” she says, “of social atrophy.” There’s a stack of cards with more intimate prompts you’ll want to set aside for sessions with your partner or a close friend, but the rest are filled out with broachable topics for dinner parties, family gatherings, and casual date nights. And while there are various versions of rules you can follow for a little structure, we’ve also found we like the simple act of taking turns pulling cards. Whatever way you choose, you’re in for a revelatory exchange that will teach you as much about yourself as whoever you’re playing with.
