This review is from: The Ungame - Christian Version (Toy)

My name is Rhea Zakich and I am the creator of the Ungame. In the years since I developed this effective communication tool I have heard from people all around the world whose lives have been changed by playing it. All of the questions are designed to invite players to share things about themselves that might not come up in ordinary conversation. In this day and age when it is hard to find time to build or strengthen relationships, playing the Ungame can accomplish it in a game-like setting. Young children, teens, parents, all ages seem to enjoy it. Players can only speak on their turn so there will be no interruptions, criticisms, putdowns, or challenges when one is sharing his/her answer. On the gameboard, there are spaces that allow interaction, however, it has been discovered that people are more apt to share honestly if others promise to listen and accept their answers. It's not only a super family game, it's great for parties, social events, and classrooms. Family teachers, counselors and therapists recommend it highly. I didn't intend to be a game inventor but when my children were little, I was stricken with a throat condition that caused me to lose my ability to speak. The doctor's thought it would be permanent, so I was desperate to find a way to communicate with my husband, kids and friends. I was not prepared to live as a mute. One night, after crying out to God for help, I sat at my kitchen table and began to doodle as I reflected on all of the feelings and thoughts that I would never be able to share. I began to write down questions I wished I could ask those I loved. Then I wrote questions that I wished someone would ask me and wait as I wrote my answers. (Most people did not talk to me when I couldn't speak. If they did, they often walked away while I was writing my response). I had no idea that my doodles and questions would someday become the world's most popular communication game with more than 2 million sold around the world. God answered my prayer in an amazing way. I have since regained my voice and now lead workshops on communication around the country.

This review is from: The Ungame - Christian Version (Toy)

I work in a mental health office, and one lazy Friday afternoon, 2 other case managers and I found the Ungame treasure in a closet under old Halloween and X-mas decorations. "A game?", one remarked. "Umm-m-m, we shouldn't", said another. Then of course, we hastily opened the game and the fun began! 2 of us were relatively new to the agency, and it was amazing how much we would reveal to each other by answering the questions -- like describing a happy marraige, sharing something we're proud of, and giving one word to describe the person to our right. I almost didn't want to go home. And when we placed it back into the closet, we found a prominent home for Ungame, far away from holiday decorations and old printing paper.

I have had this game for some two dozen years now. The ungame is a fun, therapeutic game not only for enjoyment, but for those who are shy, withdrawn, and do not communicate very much. This helps such people to open up and express feelings, opinions, and to share a part of their personal and busy lives. I would recommend this to groups and couples with young children.
