Short description
The game board is divided into four squares on which there is a selection of cards. As the starting player, I have the honour of throwing the die first. You read all the cards with the same number as the die. Then you choose a card, read it out loud and tell in 2 minutes what it has to do with you.
The game board with dice and cards acts as a guide for conversation and exchange between the players. The cards sometimes raise unexpected and surprising questions. The feedback from fellow players, from different industries and with different years of experience, can provide refreshing input.
