4.0 out of 5 stars More than a game January 27, 2011

By Lawrence R. Levi

Format:Paperback

I went to party where people were choosing cards from The Game of You, passing them around and discussing them with fervor. Impressed by how it inspired conversation of a personal nature I picked one up for my psychotherapy practice. It's proved particularly helpful when couples are going at each other. By having each chose a card that resonated with them it immediately brings the right-brain into play, reversed or at least slows the escalation and shifted focus from other onto self. Now I find myself shuffling through the cards between clients. This is proving to be more than a 'game'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Game of You, what an Incredible and useful deck. June 29, 2011

By Olarte

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I believe this is my first review here, and there is a good reason why... please read on.

I'm completely baffled that an incredible deck\tool called "The Game of You" has not been discussed or reviewed more at length either in the Tarot or Buddhist communities that I belong to. And so short of writing a formal review I would love to share my experience with you.

My interest in tarot started out of my own practice in engaged Buddhism, and mindful living, and in looking for Mediation type cards I found Tarot.... well many decks later, and having walked through the wonderful door into the world that Tarot is, I found a couple of very special decks. One of them is The Game of You by Lynn Zavaro

While Lynn uses the structure of Tarot, and many wonderful Buddhist teachings, she never mentions either and so because of this it is an incredible powerful tool and open to those who are unfamiliar with either discipline.

Aside from being so approachable Lynn is a highly trained and qualified individual. She has a Masters degree in counseling, and very knowledgeable about Buddhist teachings, (And from my experience with The Game of You) and very solid in the structure and use of the Tarot.

This deck is so special to me that I ordered about 1/2 dozen copies to give to some very close friends and family. I gifted one of these to a dear couple at my Sangha (Buddhist community) as a going away present because they are relocating to California, and passed around some literature cards provided by Lynn to other members so they can find out more about it.

Aside from the great content and practical applications that Lynn provides, by not labeling her deck Tarot, Buddhist, etc... I for one have been able to open the door (for some people that are close to me) to these two wonderful worlds without the stigma, or stereotypes that the labels "Tarot" or "Buddhism" carry. We even have an extra deck on our coffee table for anyone to pickup and use.

Lynn has been a pleasure to deal with. After getting my first deck, because I wanted to buy a few, and they are so special, I purchased directly from her and she wrote some beautiful and meaningful dedications on the decks that I purchased. I simply cannot thank her enough, and also feel it is my responsibility to share her work with others.

[...]

You can purchase the deck here. Not only is it very reasonably priced, but is also published by Schiffer which as you may be aware, is becoming one of the best publishers of quality products in tarot.

And so if you are interested in learning more about who you are, and to learn about very meaningful and practical practices that can help you with this effort, I hope you give Lynn Zavaro a chance to help you along with The Game Of You.

I have been using Lynn's beautiful and fun deck "Game of YOU" since it came out on day 1 !
The images on each card make you feel good. They are user friendly , happy, uplifting little helpers that set you on your true path on a daily basis. I cant say enough thanks to Lynn for making this info available in such an easy , all embracing way.
The "tools" suggested after each card is really where the work is but even if you only read the card and keep the words close to you during the day, you will feel more empowered.
